Yes, I have been busy busy...

Ok, I WAS hoping to do a daily blog, maybe too ambitious at first - I've been swamped with therapy, doctor's appointments and just trying to survive...cooking?  Yes, I have been cooking, and mostly chopped-style.  Open the mystery refrigerator, and make incorporate whatever's in there into an appetizer, entree and (maybe) a dessert.  Today wasn't too bad, I had bacon (Trader Joe's, uncured), eggs, and spinach - so I went with spinach salad with warm bacon dressing - easy, trim the spinach, chop some red or sweet onion, mix in a bowl.  Hard boil two eggs, and while they're getting done, fry up four or more strips o' bacon - your call, there.  I did four.  Reserve three tablespoons of bacon fat, drain and crumble the bacon.  Sprinkle the bacon over the spinach and onions, add three tablespoons of wine vinegar, a teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of dijon mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bacon fat in a saucepan and whisk together while heating.  When heated, pour over the salad, dish into serving bowls, top with chopped hard boiled eggs.  Eat it on the porch.  Well, I did. 

I'll admit, I copped the image from the web, but mine looked a lot like the one pictured, and probably tasted better;)  Tonight's mystery basket is brown rice, chicken legs, broccoli and of course, my pantry items...
