Eggsperiment and Red Cabbage with Broccoli Curry

I have opened my kitchen doors to find out that the hubs indeed ate at Subway and Thai Heaven. It is unfair to single him out the only cooking I did was to fry an egg on the pavement while staying in Phoenix. It was 115 o F outside and the eggsperiment simply had to be conducted.

After about 3 lonely hours on the pavement the yolk coagulated not cooked and the white evaporated. Perhaps a better surface and maybe with a little help of a mirror it would have been cooked to being edible. Did you know Oatman, Arizona has these competitions where you have to cook an egg using the sun alone, you are however allowed to use pans, mirrors, magnifying glasses and the time limit is 15 mins. 'Anyone game?

This is what was left of the poor egg.

Now back to what I made today, I went to the market and did not find many fresh vegetables and so now I have a strange combo of veggies in my fridge. Today I made a stir fry with red cabbage and broccoli. Enjoy
