Put one of the pitted greek olives in the middle...or a cippolini onion.

I had a microwave, hot pot, mini fridge and a toaster oven. You should have smelled the hallway when we would put slice-n-bake chocolate chip cookies in it!!!

The micro was kept on top of a dresser and we inverted a large box and kept it over the top when not in use.

2 years in the dorm and never a problem.

Mine is easy -

3/4 C. olive oil
4 thinly sliced potatoes
4 thinly sliced onions
4 eggs
pinch of salt

non-stick pan 8-10 inches (8 inches but deep is best)

Heat the oil in the pan, fry the potatoes & onions for about 15 minutes until tender but not brown.
Drain the potatoes & onions (saving about 1 T.) - cool a little so they don't cook the eggs

Beat the eggs and add put the whole mix back in the pan with the oil - heat to high, and then lower the heat to from high to low. Shake the pan to keep it from sticking

When the mixture starts to set (and brown) flip it to brown the other side (or finish it in the oven) flipping is best with the help of a plate. I like mine just a little underdone in the middle.

The good 'ole breakfast casserole -
The night before scramble 6-8 eggs (or substitute)
chop or tear 6 slices of bread (any kind will do)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
s&p

and here is the fun part....anything else you like!

crumbled (cooked) sausage, roasted red peppers, mozzerella...
ham, peppers, onions, tomatoes, cheddar...
feta, spinach, mushrooms...
chorizo, corn, jalapenos, potatoes, cheese....

let your imagination run wild

then the next morning bake it at 350 for 35-45 min until it gets sort of crispy on top, ot to whatever done-ness you like your eggs. let it cool for 5 min and watch it dissappear!

Dublin - I had a GREAT meal in Temple Bar at the Boxty House. It was hard to get reservations but then again we were there between Christmas and New Years. It was steak and caramelized onions in a brandy cream sauce rolled up in a potato pancake. OMG!

Mostly you will just want to do as the locals do and stop in a pub at lunch time and just have what ever mom has been cooking in the kitchen.

Here is a link to a website that lists all restaurants by area in Dublin, and has links to all of their menus. Have fun, and have a pint for me!

The difference for me is that strained yogurt is much less, bitter?...sour?, than regular. I strain my own sometimes, and the difference in taste must be the whey that is removed.

Greek yogurt or strained fat free generic is like heaven compared to the rest! Once you try it you will never go back!

When you are at Costco buying all of the other goodies...pick up a bag of the ciabatta rolls.

Slice each in half, toast well, rub a clove of garlic on each half (not a whole clove for each, mind you...a clove might last for 3 rolls), then rub a halved tomato so you wet the bread a little, drizzle with good olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Chop each in half again or quarters. Simple, yummy and you will get a ton of compliments!
