Eggs Benedict - My Way

[sawhorseray]

That looks great Ray. Love a good Benedict. Don't have it often enough, the Mrs. doesn't like it. Great job again on that CB. Glad Bob got to help clean up. Nice work. Stay safe.

Thanks Mike, it really was a great breakfast! Where there's food there's Bob, it's like he's got radar. Thanks for the Like Mike, I do appreciate it. RAY

SHR, Very,very nice , I'll be over for breakfast !

Thanks CM, come on down, you'll be a lot warmer here, that's for sure! Thank you for the Like, I appreciate it. RAY

Currently we have Lucy, the puppy in my avatar. She's a year old and 50/50 Boykin and English Springer. She is a double hand full, either 100 mph or asleep, but has really stolen our/my heart and needs a lot of attention. Lucy is built exactly like your Bob. I'm not planning to hunt her, but she's got it in her, very noticeable. Extremely soft mouth. We also have an 8 year old full blooded Cocker. Before Lucy, we had Riley, another English. Losing him still hurts tremendously. Smartest dog I've ever owned and I swear that he could read my mind

What a cutie, I'm sure she's stolen your hearts. My first two springers were females that lived to be thirteen each. My last one, Doodles, was my career dog, fetched over a thousand pheasants, ducks, geese, quail and doves along with the morning paper for 12 years before she went blind. I thought I'd never have another dog as intense as she was, and boy howdy was I ever wrong, Bob's crazy nuts! I have no doubt he'd hunt fields until he dropped, tho I think he'd need a little shock collar work. That's never going to happen and we love him to death just the way he is. RAY

Thank Jim! Bob never begs or gets pushy, but when I'm eating or at the cutting board Bob sits right at my side patiently waiting, he doesn't get stiffed unless the food is something spicy. My old lab used to sit there and drool until we got sick of that and put her outside when we ate. Thank you for the Like Jim, I do appreciate it. RAY

That looks Excellent, Ray!!!
Like.
Bob's a lucky Guy!!
I know what you mean about a Drooling Lab. Our Black Lab "Shadow" was a real drooler. He would lay his chin on Mrs Bear's thigh while she ate, and get her Jeans soaking wet from drool.
I always saved him something from my plate, but he wasn't even allowed to watch me: He'd peek around the corner, and I'd hear his toenails clicking & I'd turn my head "Catching him looking", and he'd look up at the ceiling & back up, as if he wasn't watching.

When I had steak, I used to eat the fat & give him some meat, because Fat wasn't good for him!!!

Wow Ray, that breakfast looks outstanding my friend. EB is by far my favorite breakfast of all time, and those steal the show!! Excellent work buddy. I can only imagine how much the cheese adds though I've never tried it...yet No question I'd be all over 6 or 8 of those babies!!

Thank you John! It's amazing how dogs become such a big part of our lives. Jan and I have no family or friends near since we moved from CA 20 months back, the pandemic hasn't been very conducive to meeting people and making new friends. Bob is a constant source of entertainment and companionship for the both of us, we'd be lost without him. I do the exact same thing, no fat but he always gets a little hunk of steak, and a bone when there's one to be had. Thank you for the Like John, I do appreciate it. RAY

Thank you Robert! If I could rescue you and have you here I'd whip up some EB every morning for you kids. Thank you for the like Robert, I appreciate it, tho not quite as much as the friendship you have shown me. RAY

Looks delicious Ray! What else is there to say that hasn't been said already. Nice job! Ryan

Thank you Ryan! When Jan and Bob are happy life doesn't get any better for me, tho Bob's always happy. Thanks for the Like Ryan, I do appreciate it. RAY

I'd like to be your neighbor!
Love Eggs Benedict. I sure wish my wife loved them (EB or dogs), but she is not a sauce/gravy type or muffins.
I usually compromise
Knorr packaged is the best I found, but if I'm going through the motions it has to be from scratch. Then I poach just the whites.

Thanks Teal! It's my favorite breakfast too and pretty darned easy to pull off. When we lived in CA and I had my ocean going boat sometimes I'd make Dungeness Crab Benedict, I do miss that. Thanks for the Like Teal, I appreciate it! RAY

Never made Benedict with dungeness, but made many a breakfast with them.
After running the traps since sunrise, breakfast was usually farm fresh egg omelet with crab meat, morel mushroom, garden grown Walla Walla sweet onion, and Tillamook cheese. Accompanied by Bloody Mary for a little hair of the dog from the previous evening frivolity.

edit. I never chummed while cutting up ripe fish for the bait box in the trap or pot.

I've never had any kind of relationship with a woman that didn't like dogs that went beyond single day, I haven't been without a dog for more than two weeks since I went out on my own at the age of 18. I've had two wives in 69 years of living and both of them fell in love with my dog long before they fell in love with me, says a lot for my dogs I guess!

The Knorrs with a lemon squeeze is far better than anything I ever tried to make from scratch, and at 50¢ a serving for EB and being so darned easy I'll never go back. I'm a 4th generation San Franciscan, I made crab for my mama any way she liked for almost 40 years. Ran eight traps off my 21' Proliner from HMB to Bodega, never chummed for anything, waste of time unless hitting tuna, and no sense chumming when trolling at seven knots.

I always wanted to have a Q onboard, one that mounted on a rail. I was always too afraid of what could happen with a fire at sea. A man who has respect for the ocean lives to fish another day. RAY

 

[Fueling Around]

Didn't find out she was a not a dog lover until it was too late. I didn't want to start over.

Sorry, there are many definitions of "chumming".
Mine is I never puked over the side. There were days it was close.

I connected with a family from Seattle after I moved there for work. We went on long weekends based on favorable tides.
We usually ran 8 cages, 12 star traps, and 4 ring traps over a 2 night 3 day trip. 300 crab was a slow weekend.
Big family so stayed in possession limits with the eating and carry off the beach.
All cooking on shore

Now I know what I forgot with the CB I had yesterday! Looks great Ray!

 

[xray]

That’s a delicious look breakfast Ray, I’ve never had Eggs Benedict before but I’d be right next to Bob waiting for a plate of that.

Canadian bacon is high on my list of things to do soon. Gotta give this a try.

We haven't ever made eggs benny at home but was wondering what or why the added vinegar to water when poaching. And how much

Ryan

The acid helps the egg white stay together instead spreading out as one finds in egg drop soup.
I use a tablespoon per pint of water

Hell Jake, looks like those boys got it all straightened out without my help. Maybe it was a test to see it they were paying attention. RAY

I don't measure Ryan but it's somewhere around a half a cup into the skillet I use. The wide mouth mason jar rings really help the egg hold some form too. RAY
