dawn
as my sweet friend tracy told you, i was off cavorting in seattle, alaska and all points in between last week and while i was in seattle, i found this great egg cooker for the microwave. the microwave cooks eggs so fluffy, and this handy gadget makes it even more convenient. it's completely dishwasher safe, non-stick and you can eat right out of it if you're in a hurry.
add whatever you want (cheese, seasonings etc...). i scramble them right in the cooker but if you wanted it cooked other than scrambled, prick the egg yolk with a fork before nuking it.
my microwave only needs about 40 seconds to cook. i learned that after it accidentally exploded on my trial run. 
eggsactly!
What I'm Cooking this Week: Monday Menu Musings for Back to School (sniff)
Tracy
This week calls for super-fast meals since back-to-school means we're back on a stricter bed-and-bathtime schedule (sniff). Since we normally walk in the door at around 5:45, these have to be REAL 30-minute meals so they can be down everyone's hatch by 6:45 and kidlets can hit the suds by 7 and be ready for bedtime stories by 8-ish. Oh, my, now I'm tired. Must get coffee. Anyway. Hopefully these ideas will fit the bill!
Monday - Oven-fried chicken tenders (from Barefoot Contessa's Family Style) - the picture shows kids being served the tenders on little skewers. I'm trying that tonight to test the theory that kids will, in fact, eat anything on a stick. We'll have them with honey-mustard on the side, along with mashed potatoes and green beans.
Tuesday - Leftover buffet - 1/2 leftover grilled pork loin from Saturday that I'll slice up with barbecue sauce, colesaw, Alexia oven fries
Wednesday- M. works late- -frozen ravioli with sauce, steamed broccoli
Thursday - sandwich night. Probably turkey paninis with pepper-jack cheese and chutney for us, grilled cheese for the kids. Veggies and dip on the side.
Friday - my dad comes into town. Probably hit a local seafood place or get take out.
BTW, Dawn--that egg thingy looks way too cool. Eggcelent, even! I could use something like that for quick back-to-school breakfasts since one of my vows for this school year is to step away from the Pop-Tarts. Are they available online?
i forgot to include that! yes you can get them at amazon.com. they're called (get this) the Micro Egg Microwave Egg Cooking Cup by Harold Import Co. i think that name is bigger than the cooker itself! they're only 7.50$ so you can get a couple of them! maybe even a dozen! enjoy!
