I'm on a new diet. It's diet or nearly die. Nearly die means weeks and weeks of honest-to-goodness illness that is Not death-defying, but it feels like it. Part of my new diet is the ugly concoction at left. Can you guess what it is? I have it three times a week. Egg whites with either cheese or turkey sausage and added Spirulina, the green ugly stuff.
Dr. Seuss must have been eating spirulina when he wrote the successful Green Eggs and Ham. Since this has been added to my diet I have discovered that the book is listed as No. 1 on the Book List of Wall St. Journal.
The above illustrates how the egg begins in the skillet. When it is cooked it looks a bit better:
I must admit I closed my eyes eating this the first time, but as each breakfast arrived, I found myself adjusting to reading the newspaper and looking only occasionally to be sure my fork had a good helping attached. I couldn't complete the Seuss meal with ham, since that is off my list of OK Foods. And ham has always been my favorite.
Feeling the need to quote part of Dr. Seuss' famous poem, I have to resist due to restrictions. But for all of you who read it to your child or had it read to you, you know he made the dish sound delish!
