What is the pepperoni that you use for this? I’ve used salami from a charcuterie mix and I’m curious to try pepperoni.

That pizza is begging for some honey. Is that pepperoncini--the green stuff?

Yum, one of my favorites! I once tried adding a little cream cheese to it, and that worked out well too. Anyway, going to have to make this again soon.

do you cook the lox or just add it to the eggs while they’re cooking? I’m long on Costco lox that I’ll eat by Friday.

I can tell you that I add it in right at the end just to warm up and mingle with the eggs. Even more important than usual to not overcook the eggs for this dish. They should be slightly wet IMO. But I can't speak for others here. You can also season with a little Everything Bagel mix if you have it.

No need to cook lox. They “cook” during the curing process.

Agreed that lox doesn’t need cooking :-)

Swiss steak, carrots and mashed potatoes. I’m using a crock pot which seems out of place mid-May in central Florida but it’s raining and our high will not get over 72 today.

Thank you. I don't have specific quantities but I did it in a mini food processor. I must say that my limes were really old and I think that is what made things a little bitter.
Big handful of cilantro (stems and all), 1 clove of garlic, zest and juice from a couple limes, a couple healthy shakes of dried oregano, one little shake of ground cumin, a little pickled jalapeno (because I am a weenie...most people would probably use more), a few squirts of both dijon and honey, a couple heaping TBS of mayo, S & P. Just whir it all together. Since my limes were crap, I probably should have just used rice wine or apple cider vinegar for the acid.

Mexican!

Chips, salsa & guacamole
Crispy fish tacoSpicy shrimp tacoChicken mole taco

But... Total mess trying to get dinner.

Decided we would go to a casual American place we like. Parked, Mr CE paid the meter only to realize it was a 15m zone. Back in the car, drive half a block, parked, paid meter #2, went into the restaurant and didn't like the seating option (couch, not table) so left. Drive to another rooftop restaurant we like. This time I go in to make sure we can get a table, give Mr CE the thumbs up and he pays meter #3. At this point you'd assume he'd pay attention, but no... He gets to the table only to realize he can only put 5 minutes on the meter. At that point he is so frustrated that I go out and move the car (space #4, meter #4) a few spots down to where parking isn't time restricted. Get back into the restaurant, look at the menu only to realize they've seriously pared it back since we were last there. (Literally only 2 entrees.) Finish our drinks and fortunately there were tables available at the sister restaurant downstairs, where we were finally able to eat dinner without moving the car again!
