Let's Have Brunch - Fired Egg Tostada

Give your brunch a bit of Mexican flare with this Fried Egg Tostada from Food Network Magazine. You can prepare this with a lot of heat, or not so much for those faint of heart. Use mild salsa if your family and guests prefer, or kick it up with the hotter version. I used medium salsa, sliced jalapenos and feta cheese. However you decide to make them, they are delicious!

Fried Egg Tostada

Serves 4

4 tostada shells
1 tablespoon Butter
4 eggs
salt and pepper
Iceberg lettuce, shredded
Lime juice
Salsa
Sriracha
Cilantro
Cotija cheese, crumbled
Lime wedges

1. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack eggs in pan and cook until the white is set, but the yolk is still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.

2. Top tostada shells with shredded iceberg lettuce; season with salt and a squeeze of lime juice. Top with 1 to 2 tablespoons salsa and fried eggs.

3. Drizzle with Sriracha and top with cilantro and crumbled cojita cheese. Serve with a lime wedge.

The Rock of Gibraltar

Image
On our way to El Puerto De Santa Maria, we made a detour to see the Rock of Gibraltar. If you have ever seen a Prudential Financial advertisement, you will recognize the Rock of Gibraltar which is their logo. The Rock of Gibraltar is a single large block of stone 426 m (1,398 ft) high. It is a limestone peninsula and mountainous rock that jets out of the end of the British territory at the southwestern tip of Europe. It is home to a network of caves, including the famous St. Michael’s Cave, which is open to the public. At the top of the Rock, visitors can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the surrounding area, including Morocco on a clear day. Seeing the Rock from below is quite a sight, however, taking a tour to the top tells a much bigger story of how impressive it truly is. We headed out in a small 6-passenger van to make the climb up to the top of the Rock. The road is quite narrow and winds back and forth along the edge of the Rock. For someone like me who is afraid o...

What Others Cannot See

Image
Early on one would never know, that memories are fading away. A tiny slip up here and there, normal forgetfulness they say. Time goes by with subtle changes, friends and family do not seem aware. If they only see them now and then, what is missing is not clear. As time passes the ones at home, will notice what others do not. They see more things forgotten, bringing sadness and concern. Many may notice a repeated story, from memories of long ago. Not aware that these old tales, are the ones that remain crystal clear. In time the recent memories, become more elusive as days pass by. Questions that are asked and answered, will be asked again and again. What we can see in our loved one, is what others cannot see. New memories will not remain with them, so, each day will bring something new.

Underneath It All We Are the Same

Image
Seven years ago, I wrote this blog with great hopes that society would take steps forward in the years to come, recognizing that we are all in this together and unity is the only way to a better world. Unfortunately, as witnessed by world events over the last several years, that is not the case. Sadly, things are worse so once again I will share this with a hopeful heart that three years from now our world will look a little brighter. "If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?" ~ William Shakespeare - The Merchant of Venice Strip away race, color, religion, politics, gender, etc., and underneath it all we are the same. We are human beings. We have the same needs, wants and desires. We want a good life for our families; a good community to live in; friends and neighbors we can trust. We want to be treated with dignity and respect, and to feel comfortable voicing an opinion, without the threat of being attacked by some...
