When I got home early this evening, the fact that the dog dish on the floor signaled dinner plans weren't quite what they were when I left in the morning. Indeed, Mom and Dad had a huge lunch out and weren't interested in dinner. They thought it would be a treat for me to order from a local restaurant, but I wasn't so keen on the idea. I searched the fridge and cupboards for inspiration and finally decided on making some leftovers of corn beef and cabbage. But first I decided to "kick it up a notch" and create my own bubble and squeak....or hash as it is more commonly called here in America. So I started off with cooking up some bacon which both brought a new flavor and provided the skillet with a little grease for cooking.
Meanwhile, I chopped up the left over corn beef, cabbage and potatoes from last week and heated it up after I cooked up a small amount of onion in the pan. Yes, it looks like hash, but I prefer to call it bubble and squeak. Not only is that the name of the dish in most UK countries, but it is named for the sound the food makes as it heats up in the pan.
I don't know why exactly, but the bacon must have gotten me thinking about eggs. So, when the everything was heated through, I decided it needed a little something else.....
So, less than a minute later, thanks to the hot skillet, an egg scrambled up easily, a little paprika on top and my dinner was perfectly satisfying.
