Recipe #36: Gordon Ramsey's Scrambled Eggs

Transparently, I've never made scrambled eggs correctly, even though that's my favorite way to eat eggs. I found that out while watching Gordon Ramsey make scrambled eggs on MasterChef.

Here's what he did:
1) Put three tabs of butter into a saucepan. Yes, a saucepan.
2) Crack eggs into saucepan
3) Alternate stirring the eggs on and off heat from 30 seconds for three minutes
4) After the three minutes, salt and pepper the eggs
5) Plate the eggs and add a teaspoon of creme fraiche

I followed his instructions minus the creme fraiche which I didn't have. Wow, were they terrific! Fluffy and light!

I Love

I don't care what all the critics say, I love Taylor Swift's new song and music video, "Shake It Off." It makes we want to dance! I just bought it on iTunes.
What's your favorite dance move?

Via Hulu Plus, I just finished the MasterChef Junior series. I love MasterChef, the adult version, but the kid's version was so different and cool. The judges are intense in the adult show, so I enjoy watching their softer sides with the kids. Other than that, it was refreshing how the children cheered each other on, as well as comforted each other. I thought, it was interesting that the children's dishes were as complex and out-of-the box as the adult's dishes. I also learned how to poach an egg from watching the show. :)

I was excited to finally see the movie, Last Vegas. It was funnier than I thought it would be. It had a lot of one-liners; I laughed the whole time. It also had a great cast: Robert De Niro, Morgan, Freeman, Michael Douglas, and Kevin Kline. It featured 4 childhood friends who reunite for one of the guy's bachelor parties. Not shocking, they head to Las Vegas. They happen into all kinds of trouble along the way. It was kind of disappointing that the funniest parts of the movie I'd already seen in previews. What do you think? Are you going to see it?

MasterChef

I absolutely love watching MasterChef! I love to cook and it's wonderful inspiration. There are several cooking shows that I watch, but this is my favorite by far. I think, I like it so much because most of the chefs are home chefs, not people who cook for a living. Their passion and skill level are always so impressive. It makes me want to cook more and get cooking lessons! So far, from this season the recipe I most want to learn to make is panna cotta. I definitely plan to cook more and make more impressive recipes. Here's a clip from today's episode: .
