Pan Fried Sausages

I still recall when one of my sisters let's call her Lucy nahhhh no biggie we'll just call her by her real name; Edna. In Africa we never like to say step or half so even though she is my stepsister, we call each other sisters. It kinda feels weird to say stepsister when we actually lived like real ones with each other.

Ok!! thats beside the story.

So where was I?;

ahuh

yes, so I still recall when Edna pan fried her first sausages and after about 2 mins, she walked to dad and asked should I sprinkle salt now", @%$^&*&^(()_

So that was the story of how Edna fried her first sausage :-))))))))

Most of us do not pan fry sausages well, Even in some take outs at shopping mall, you still find that the pan fried sausages served with your take out meal either look tortured or are under fried and still raw pink inside. So this morning soon as I sat at my desk and checked if I had any unread mails and replied whichever needed to be, I logged into Facebook and found a simplifying method posted by Pika Chakula to nicely well cooked pan fried sausages.

What you need:

Omelettes allow you to choose whatever combinations of ingredients you like and they’re so quick to make, you’ll have a meal in minutes. But how do you make the perfect omelette?

Gently beat two eggs together with salt, pepper and a teaspoon of cold water.
Warm a medium frying pan over a high heat with a dash of oil
Pour the egg mixture into the centre of the pan and cook over a high heat for 1-2 minutes.
As the egg begins to set, use a spatula to push the set egg towards the omelette centre.
Continue until the entire egg mixture is set.
Cook the set omelette for another minute, then loosen the edges with a spatula and fold the omelette in half.
Slide onto a plate and tuck in a salad mixture with cheese!

Poaching eggs is a skill that takes a little practice but it’s worthwhile for anyone wanting to rustle up fancy dinner-party starter.

I am not so excellent at poaching eggs but with these tips you and I can practice till we get perfect. When we’ve eventually mastered poaching, we shall try our hands at cooking classic recipe favorites that require poached eggs in… time.

These are one of the quickest and most convenient ways to cook eggs and by adding extra ingredients such as baked beans and tinned beef, you can turn a simple and easy recipe into a delicious meal.

Pan on heat

Gently beat two eggs together with salt and pepper.
Add 2 tablespoons of water or milk for a softer result.

Once you get the hang of it, boiled eggs are so easy and endlessly all-purpose. Whether they're for breakfast, picnics or lunch boxes, here are some tips to help you cook boiled eggs just as you like them.

Before you get started, think about timing. Really soft boiled eggs should be cooked in boiling water for 3 minutes. Hard boiled eggs with a lightly soft yolk require boiling for 6 minutes. Timings will vary slightly with size and the age of the egg. You may have to experiment before you get them just to your liking!

When my dad asks for a bull’s Eye for breakfast, if Idi Amin Dada was my dad’s chef, he would have killed a bull and brought it’s eyes served on a silver plate for my dad and would have placed his palms on his wide waist, pushed his chin forward, widened his eyes to say Bon appetite!!! But let’s not try to be like this guy that placed Uganda onto the world map and instead realize that a Bull’s Eye for breakfast is a fried egg.

When ready to eat, it actually looks like eyes. My dad loves his bull’s eye with salt and pepper sprinkled on top to give it a hot stingy taste. He loves it most with Indian chapatti but you can also have it with a buttered bread toast.

It is no longer an apple a day but an egg a day that keeps the doctor away.

Eggs are one of nature's most nutritious foods so if you are looking for a quick and tasty snack or want to impress with an easy egg recipe, I have from my humble kitchen and hot wok, some ideas on cooking eggs.

We shall get to share my tricks on how to get a well fried egg, poached egg, and boiled egg. How to bake with eggs and how to make a Spanish omelet

Macedonia

My grandparents had different kids under their care, so I grew up with other brothers and sisters that don’t even share a drop of DNA with me. I can’t say we were adopted or fostered. I just know that he’s my brother and she’s my sister.

While Christine used to walk me to school almost every morning and Denis used to protect me from the bullies at school that liked to pull my over grown afro hair plaited into one tail, still when I went home we would have fights like any brothers and sisters in other homes.

What I have never forgotten about Denis is his Macedonia. No one makes macedonia with a touch as Denis’. My grandma always praised his skills applied at that culinary stop and he got such praises from as early as when he was just about 10years.

His secret?? Condense milk. After having assorted fruits chopped into cubes and mixed all together, Denis would pour condense milk to top up his delicious mouth watering macedonia.

Cheesy Egg

This past Sunday I never made any huge Sunday Lunch, after a late Saturday night I could not get up early enough to make something big to eat so I made myself a cheesy Egg

In my kitchen I had;
