Lazy Sunday Cooking

I've been in good spirits, and it shows in my cooking.

Like French toast for dinner, steak and eggs for breakfast is a rare indulgence. An even rarer indulgence is fresh squeezed orange juice. Now that oranges are $2 a sack, I'm going to have to take more advantage of this particular perk of living in California.

On another note, I bought a dozen eggs at Trader Joe's for 99 cents, and they're fantastically orange yolked. Has anyone else noticed this? If it continues I may never buy eggs anywhere else again.

Dinner was fun. I deep fried some sliced garlic in olive oil, and then removed the garlic to a paper towel when it was brown and crunchy looking. I used this same oil to shallow fry chunks of catfish, to which I added blanched Russian kale and cooked spaghetti. Salt, pepper, a handful of chopped basil, and a topping of crunchy deep fried garlic toward the end completed a healthy summer dish that helped me finish off some catfish that was quickly becoming boring.
