Foiled by lack of aluminum muffin pan

I'm not sure what this blog is about. I've been away so long, you'd think I'd come back with a bit more substantial of a post. What's more substantial than breakfast, though? I think the technical answer is 'every other meal thereafter.' Whatever. You get this because I have pictures that go with it. Because I am a dork and like to chronicle my cooking mishaps (via the digital camera from Meghan!) to show my husband when he gets home. Actually, it's worse than that. I just like taking pictures of food. Jesse usually makes it look so pretty, it feels like a present.
So I take a picture of my present before I eat it. In this case, I was taking a picture of the present I made for him. So I started this new thing where I cook all I need to cook for the week all at once. Probably the thing that wouldn't work for most people about it is we don't mind eating basically the same thing all the time. For dinner, I just cook the tube o' ground turkey with some onions and a taco seasoning packet and we eat it with spinach and baked doritos and whatever else we have to make 'Taco Salad.' For lunch, I make the tuna salad ahead and peel the carrots and cut up the broccolli. This week, I made semi-hummus for the vegetable dip instead of ranch. It's basically all the same stuff in hummus only with yogurt instead of the tahini, making it low-fat. Oh my gosh, I'm already annoying myself by talking about food this long. I just really wanted to make fun of myself. Breakfast. Last week we had Baked Oatmeal Mini Muffins and Quiche Mini Muffins. This week I made the Oatmeal ones all precisely and they turned out great. I spent all this time measuring exactly 1 tsp. of sausage into those little silicone muffin cups and then 1/8 cup of egg mixture and 1 little chunk of ff cream cheese and upon trying to place it on a rack, it sloshed all over itself like drunkgirl. Or like drunkgirl were making it.
So, after that happened, I did a little stompy dance in the kitchen and figured I sortof deserved it for being so concerned with the little egg muffins. Then I poured it all into a pyrex pie pan and it turned out to be a perfectly pretty quiche. Yay. I just really like making things into mini versions of themselves. Bites. I think it's because I tell myself I'll just have a bite of something and that's it. I do like all the various "Bites" there are out there. Chick fil A chickn minis are an amazing example. And we're back to breakfast. "What about Second Breakfast? And Elevensies?" "I don't think he knows about Second Breakfast, Pip."
