What's For Breakfast? - Page 31

Awwww.
I'm going to work with a smile on my face now.

monster · 01-30-2014, 11:03 PM

maybe they just need people to bake in the mornings?

Sundae · 01-31-2014, 05:56 AM

They do at that

It's not a popular shift and has already seen off three members of staff. They used flattering words when they transferred me, like copes-well-under-pressure and reliable and flexible.

It'll get easier.
It's not the early start so much as the sheer volume of work to get through in a limited amount of time. But I felt like that about being on set-up for Deli to start with, and now I have enough spare time to make serious inroads into the weekly and monthly cleaning schedules.

The SlimFasts have worked really well though.
I drink them on the way, so no extra time spent, or washing up. And I keep my greedy fingers off the merchandise. Because although it wouldn't feel like stealing...

I've been buying cans of corned beef hash and making a breakfast bowl.

Empty can of corned beef hash into microwave safe bowl and scoop out depression in middle. Put two eggs into depression. Break yolks and microwave covered for 6 minutes (1000 watt oven). Place two slices of American cheese on top and microwave for another 1 minute.

The eggs are only soft boiled at that point. They can be eaten that way or if mixed into the hash become solid.

Just don't show Mr Limey - I think he'd OD on that stuff (do you mean tins of corned beef hash, UK style, ie corned beef and potatoes?)

That's the stuff, Limey.
Hormel's 213gr can yields 349 calories, 196 from fat, 78.7 from carbs, and 74.4 from protein.

Of course 213gr (7.5oz) is a small can, they also have 15oz(425gr) and 25oz(709gr), if Mr Limey wants a manly breakfast.

limey · 02-03-2014, 04:49 PM

I'd have to make the corned beef hash, we only get the corned beef in tins, without the potatoes. Still it's a nice idea for a special breakfast for ma mayan, or even supper ...

is canned corned beef really expensive there now, Limey? price went through the roof here -more expensive /lb than real fresh beef.

Sundae · 02-04-2014, 02:26 AM

We sell corned beef on the Deli counter.
Customers think it is fresh because we slice it for them. I mean it's fresh in that it has to be refrigerated, but only once we've opened the... Yup, tin.

It's the cheapest cut on the counter. Well, that and tongue, which also comes in a large tin.
From memory it's 90p per 100g, as opposed to our Aberdeen Angus-sired rare roast beef which is £2.99. Then again, we usually slice the roast beef very fine.

monster · 02-04-2014, 08:06 AM

but did canned corned beef go up a lot in the last 10 years? Like threefold?

Sundae · 02-04-2014, 11:29 AM

I admit I can't say.

It's been an intermittent purchase in this house. I know cornflakes have gone up in price since I lived and budgeted alone, but that's as close as I can come.

richlevy · 02-20-2014, 07:47 PM

The canned corned beef hash is about 1/3 corned beef and 2/3 potatoes. A 15oz (425gr) can is $1.69 which is about 1.23 euros and 1.05 GBP.

It's cheap stuff but I love it. I buy it at the US ALDI supermarket near work.

DanaC · 02-22-2014, 07:32 AM

Yeah, you can buy the hash here too.

I tend to just go for corned beef. That way I can have a couple of slices cold with some hot potatoes for one meal - and then make a giant pan of hash for a couple of days with the rest.

Sundae · 02-22-2014, 07:44 AM

Special K for me today.
I don't usually have a chance for breakfast. Not proper breakfast anyway.

In fact I didn't really this morning. I took it into the living room to get away from Mum, because I could tell she was angry, but she followed me and moaned about Dad. And Diz decided it was his breakfast too because it smelled of lovely lovely milk (albeit milk which he wouldn't be able to digest, unlike the catmilk he loves) and had to be pushed away again and again.

So I wish I hadn't bothered.

But compared to sharing with strangers, sitting hunched over a bowl in my room with no Diz, I guess it wasn't that bad.
