Darwinism in action.

i used to cook eggs in the microwave all the time back in the day when i was actually working out to try and gain weight... works pretty well and tastes the same.

[InRareForm]

Filling, low-fat, low-cal, 1 minute breakfast: spray some pam in a mug, crack an egg, beat the yolk to avoid explosion and nuke until done. Plop some picante on it and viola! Yummy.

I microwaved my first egg in 1977. In this exact way, only added cheese on top.

[Blake]

yeah, I've microwaved eggs before when I was in a hurry..

no way is it even close to being the same as stove top......they dry out way too much

[Ginobilly]

Microwaving an egg???? WTF? What kind of lazy mother er does that? Give me two fried huevos rancheros toppled with Chorizo ranchero salsa, refried beans, and some homemade flour tortillas. San Antonio's breakfast of champions right there. Oh, I forgot the big red!

[SpursWoman]

My mom taught me that when I was 6, because I couldn't reach the top of the stove at the time.

Why do people say refried beans? Even I do it sometimes, cause that rubs off on other people. You only fry it once.

don't you really never fry it at all?

[koriwhat]

yeah cause i was always trying to become some sort of hardass... yeah that was why i got in to boxing, yep.

why do restaurants always say "we make homemade tortillas here"?

[Dex]

Yes and no.

Pinto beans are hydrated, stewed once, strained, then mashed.

They're then cooked again with some sort of fat, usually lard or vegetable oil. Some people consider this "frying" even though it's really just added to give the beans a better flavor and consistency.

They should call 'em recooked beans or something.

[Ginobilly]

Because they're made from scartch(flour, baking powder, vegatable shorting, warm water,etc) and have little to no preservatives. Thus considering them "homemade". Many Mexican restuarants outside the southwestern United States use factory made tortillas with a load of preservatives. The taste just isn't the same.

My grandma use to fry them with leftover bacon fat. Best in beans you'll ever eat.

well then they are made from scratch, not home.

yah. the bacon fat beans kick ass.

[The Gemini Method]

There is no subsitution to homemade tortillas for any dish whatsoever...

I don't like eggs from the microwave. For some reason I can only do scrambled and sunnyside-up...I mean theoretically, you could have scrambled via the microwave, but I like mine with onions, peppers, and meunster/monterrey jack cheses...it just wouldn't mesh well in the microwave.
