  Channeling Rachael Ray: Savory Bread Pudding with Faux-mesco baking, breakfast, cheese, eggs, sauces | (4)

  None of these ingredients is in the Faux-Romesco sauce. Did I just blow your fucking mind?!? I've always been attracted to mixes of sweet and savory, both combinations of the two or flipping recipes around - making sweet versions of things that are usually savory, and vice-versa.

  We are helpless in the face of cured meat products. Saturday morning breakfast: scrambled eggs with chorizo and sharp cheddar, topped with leftover poblano vinaigrette from this week's smackdown. English muffins and tea on the side. The verdict: manchego might have been better, but this was damn good. Eggs with poblano vinaigrette is the perfect breakfast for the nose-stuffed among us: spicy, but the eggs and cheese moderate the heat of the peppers and punch of the vinegar with their creaminess, especially if you slow cook 'em (Put the pan on heat so low you doubt it will have any ...
