Out of town this last weekend and ate like a horse. So, last night it was ramen noodles. I did put an egg and some herbs in them. ?

Chief - here's a recipe for cabbage rolls I've made before. Pretty darn good and easy too. A lot of the reviews say double, triple or even quadruple the tomato sauce. Honestly can't remember what I did, but you may keep that in mind.

If you add a little cinnamon to the sauce and some oregano, you will be much closer to the Mediterranean/middle eastern origins.

Hmm. Always thought of this as an Eastern European dish.

Trying something new this evening. I will bake some eggs in salsa and serve them with bacon and cheese biscuits. Think of it as bacon egg and cheese biscuits rancheros.

Somebody posted something many moons ago about eggs cooked in a spicy tomato sauce. There was a name, but it has escaped me. It's a good combination of favors.

I didn't cook it but had as good a plate of huevos ranchera yesterday as I have ever had.  Fresh cooked tortilla, double layered.  over easy eggs done perfect and a mostly green but some red chili, no meat on that perfect pile, side of fresh refrito frijoles, arroz with some verde on them,  Wonderful coffee to go along.  On the patio.  Pretty waitress, perfect weather..  You wish you had been there with us.

I learned cabbage  rolls from the Lebanese families I grew up with. I did some reading and the origin probably was European, but the Jewish culture seems to have spread them everywhere, including the middle east.

My wife had a recipe she has been wanting to try called baked eggs, or Mediterranean baked eggs or something like that.  looked extremely good, similar sort of thing.  I don't believe I have even had stuffed cabbage rolls, I have had stuffed grape leaves at a Lebanese restaurant in Springfield, hey were good, a little different in texture and flavor but good.  Don't know that I would order them again.  Also had some of the darkest, strongest, most evil coffee I have ever drank there, bottom 1/4 of the cup was all grounds, supposedly they Lebanese stirred it up and drank it grounds and all.  I tried and nearly choked to death on the grounds, I ended up putting a dash of cold water to settle the grounds out to drink the coffee, had a little cardamom in it which was also different for me.
