Mark here... this recipe was for out steak and eggs breakfast. It's fairly simple although the steak cooking times will depend on the cut and size of the steak. We find it's best to ask the butcher.
Ingredients:
2 NY Strip Steaks
2 eggs
butter
kosher salt
pepper
For the steaks, it's best to let them come to room temperature for at least 15 minutes. While they are doing this, liberally salt and pepper each side.
Once ready, melt about 2 tablespoons of butter over a medium high heat. Add the steaks and cook roughly 3 to 3 and a half minutes per side. Remove them from the heat and promptly cover with foil tent to sit for 10-15 minutes.
For the eggs, melt a tablespoon of butter over a medium heat in a skillet. Crack the eggs in a separate bowl and remove any shells (be careful not to break the yolk as well). Drop the eggs into the skillet and cook roughly a minute. Cover and cook another 30 seconds. The result should be cooked whites and slightly runny yolks. Serve!

Friday Night Lights!
Mark here....Laurel and I are kicking off (pun intended) our next show, "Friday Night Lights" with a steak and egg brunch (it's important to keep our energy up for football season). We've made steak and fried eggs and some bubble and squeak, courtesy of the 2 Fat Ladies recipe. We've also brought along our travel mugs filled with Bloody Marys.
On to the pilot...we are introduced to the small town of Dillon, Texas. Life in Dillon revolves around the high school football team, the Dillon Panthers. They have a new coach in Coach Taylor and he is immediately under intense pressure by all the townspeople to pull out a win in the upcoming game. We also meet all american quarterback, Jason Street and his back up, sophomore Matt Saracen. Jason is such a popular and successful QB that it's assumed Matt may never get a chance to play. Unfortunately when the game arrives, it's a nail biter and Jason is injured during the game and lead out on a stretcher. Matt is at first nervous and bumbles a bit, before succeeding in leading the team to victory.
Overall, the show presents a very stark and somewhat depressing view of this small town. Yet, it's likeable because of it's sincerity and honesty. At the same time, the pressure that this town puts on it's high school players is insane. We see various adults and alumni whose lives continue to revolve around the ups and downs of the high school team.
We also get introduced to several other team members, Riggs and Smash, who don't get along and there's a bit of a racial tension as Riggs is white and Smash is black. Riggs is also a bit of a bad boy who drinks too much, and in doing so affects the performance of the whole team. His girlfriend, Tyra seems like the town bad girl. I always love the bad girls (we haven't seen them yet on our other series) and Tyra is played perfectly, a little trashy and a little slutty seeming. On the flip side, we meet Jason's girlfriend Lyla, who's a bit flat and goody goody in my opinion (at least so far).
Laurel here...wow I can't believe we are doing Friday Night Lights! It might be my favorite show ever. That being said I will try to keep it together, not get too gushy, and not give anything away!
This pilot episode does a really good job of setting the tone of the show, and letting us know just the right amount of background info so we know what kind of pressure Coach Taylor and the boys on the football team are under. The whole town is completely obsessed with high school football. When it's game day we see a montage of all the businesses that are closed because the owners are all at the football game. Can you imagine an entire town where nothing is open on friday night because of a high school football game?
The show also does a really good job of exploiting the inherent drama of sports. Teamwork and triumph of the will and all that. Clear eyes full hearts can't lose! During the first game I was in tears before Jason ever got hurt. I love sports drama!
Anyway moving forward we know there's a lot of pressure on these boys and a lot at stake. What will happen to Jason Street? Will Riggins get it together? Will Tyra sleep with everyone? Will Matt step up while Jason is injured? I kind of can't believe how much the show accomplishes in just one episode, we are already completely invested in several of the characters and in the plot as a whole.

Herbed Baked Eggs and Maple Bacon
Mark here...I'm going to try and catch up here on some recipes...this one goes back to the pilot episode of Battlestar Galactica...these recipes are both variations from the Barefoot Contessa
Hereb Baked Eggs
Ingredients:
Chopped Garlic
Chopped Fresh Thyme
Chopped Fresh Rosemary
Chopped Fresh Parsley
Eggs
Grated Parmesan
Heavy Cream
Butter
Salt
Pepper
Toast
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
First combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley and parmesan. I'm not listing portions because we did it for 4 people, with about 2 eggs per person. I used a large gratin dish and poured a layer of cream and about 2 tablespoons of butter into the bottom. Place in the oven for about 3-5 minutes until butter melts, then add the eggs (about 8) and sprinkle herb mixture on top. Turn the oven to broil, and place under the broiler for 5-6 minutes or until eggs are cooked to desired level.
Maple Bacon
Ingredients
Bacon
Real Maple Syrup
This recipe is really easy...my friends call it candied bacon because of how it turns out. With the oven on about 400, put bacon on a rack on cookie sheet and place in the oven. It can be a bit messy, and you may find yourself needing to drain off some of the bacon fat. After about 15-20, remove the bacon and brush with maple syrup, then return to the oven for another 5 min. done!
