This is a wonderful frittata anytime of day or night. My grandfather used to make frittatas quite often. Instead of finishing a frittata under the broiler he would cook it halfway, put a plate on top of the pan, flip the pan over, and slide the frittata back into the pan to cook the other side. Sometimes a frittata would stick; other times the hot oil would drip on him as he performed this maneuver. It was during these moments that I learned all the really good Italian curse words I still use to this day.-swapped sausage for bacon and frozen spinach for chard- subbed mushrooms in for the bacon.-cooked the ingredients except for the eggs in a pan and then I moved the cooked ingredients to a pie pan and poured the eggs over it. I cooked it at 375 little longer then put the broiler on in the end to brown the top.

When faced with a carton of old milk and a few tablespoons of vinegar you can actually repurpose the liquids into a snack: in this case, a crumbly or creamy cheese. Mind you we’re not talking about the gallon of chunky 2 percent milk you opened before a two month-vacation—when milk curdles on its own due to age, it is rotten and should go directly into the trash—but if you take a whiff and the milk smells akin to something slightly less than fresh, it’s the ideal time to make cheese.

Prik nam pla is a sauce that Thai people use as the all-purpose flavour enhancer. It is a tableside condiment you put on the finished dish, much like salt and pepper in the West, but it's not something you cook with. Prik nam pla is salty, spicy, umami and acidic. When your Thai food feels like it's not quite perfect - perhaps a little flat - these are the flavours that are usually missing. This is why it works in so many situations. Prik nam pla straight up is quite intense, and a little goes a long way. If you want to be able to use it more liberally, add a splash of water to dilute and a touch of sugar to help balance the salt and the acid. Prik nam pla will keep indefinitely in the fridge because it's so salty. However, the flavour deteriorates so not too long. -The amount of lime juice to add it totally up to you. I like it heavier on the lime which I find makes it less salty and more versatile, so I use a general ratio of 3 parts fish sauce to 1 part lime juice.-
