Costco stopped carrying Nestle Toll House chocolate chips a while ago. They now offer two different versions of Kirkland chocolate chips, with confusingly similar names. One is called Kirkland Signature Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, and the other is Kirkland Signature semi-sweet Chocolate Chips. The white bag has Semi-Sweet capitalized, while the red and off-white bag keeps that part of the name lower case. When you see them in the store, you'll likely notice that the white bag (capital S) version costs slightly more. Are they charging more for bigger letters? If you look at the ingredients, the price difference makes sense. The cheaper one has more filler ingredients. The flavor, texture, and baking performance are pretty much identical to Nestle Toll House chips. This isn't surprising since the two brands have very similar ingredient lists, and the new Kirkland chips were introduced about the same time that Costco stopped selling the Nestle version. For comparison...
On occasion I will boil a bunch of eggs, peel them and store them in the refrigerator for another occasion. This morning was one of those occasions.
ReplyDeleteI cut them in half to put them into a sandwich. This morning I did not want to eat them cold so I needed a way to warm them. I try to avoid the microwave because it gives a funny taste to proteins. (Yes I am pro-teen) I put a little butter into a pan and fried them, making fried, boiled eggs. The butter added a nice flavor and the crisp part of the egg half added a pleasant texture to the ovum. A few spices boosted the experience.
Can this be considered an earth shaking recipe? Not even close, but it does open a new world of possibilities for the future.
What are your ideas?
I like that idea! The last time I reheated a boiled egg, I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. A few seconds after the microwave stopped, the egg exploded. In hindsight, I should have cracked the shell first. On the bright side, the microwave needed cleaning anyway.
