Where's the Wisdom in Teeth?

I just had my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday. I'm currently considering changing my pseudo name to include "Starving"...Starving Stickman...how's that? I did attempt to eat a can of Progresso Chicken Noodle soup yesterday, about 6 hours after my surgery and that took me almost 2 hours to finish. I decided to have a glass of Odwalla Superfood for dinner...."filling!"

It is quite nutritious though.

I've been prone to cravings...actually, I am prone to cravings, I'm just MORE prone to cravings now since I haven't really had any substantial sustenance in the past 22 hours. All I've had was some water...pills and more pills, can o soup and some Odwalla. Hmm what I wouldn't give to be able to eat a Chipotle burrito right now...or maybe some Steak n Shake! I know... no straws!

I am optimistically hopeful I will be able to eat solid foods by the end of the weekend, but for today I think I will have to stick with scrambled eggs.

I typically like my scrambled eggs made with butter. I know...not the most healthy, but you just can't top the flavor of butter.

Easy Scrambled Eggs:
Ingredients:
  • 2-3 eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp of butter (unsalted)
  • 2 tsp of white wine / sake / cooking wine
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
  • Add the butter to an omelette pan and let the butter brown a little
  • In the meantime, beat the eggs with the wine and a little salt to taste
  • Add the eggs to the browned butter and over medium low heat, stir so little curds form
  • remove from heat before all liquid is evaporated and continue stirring
If you like your scrambled eggs a little softer, dish sooner, otherwise stir a little longer and the residual heat from the pan will cook the eggs after you remove it from the heat.
