Shakshuka/the best way to eat eggs

Eggs are the best food ever invented. And by invented, I mean, thank you, whatever starving neanderthal decided to crack open something out of a bird's nest and eat it. You can be my first ever hero, even before Deb (chronologically of course, you understand).

I specifically love poached eggs, and these here eggs, they are the best way to poach ever. All you do is pour some olive oil into a pan, and heat up some garlic and chili flakes. And by some chili flakes, I mean, a solid tbs, because your boyfriend is visiting, and he east spicy food like he has no taste buds. That and cheese. He and I share a love of cheese.

So once you have the oil, garlic, and chili flakes all hot and yummy smelling, add a can of tomato sauce. If you are me, use the cheapest kind, the pure sauce, no skin, no semblance of tomato shape, in part because it is the cheapest, and in part because the texture of tomatoes makes me want to vom. Seriously, I wish I didn't hate them, but I hate tomatoes so much. Except in sauces and salsas that no longer resemble tomatoes.

This is one of those ways. Shakshuka is apparently Israeli food, in which you make this delicious sauce, and then you poach eggs in it. All poached eggs are, children, is boiled eggs, but without the shells. In water, this process can be tricky, but in nice, thick sauce, you just dump the eggs in, and they make their own little beds, and you boil them. Yum.

Serve this in a pita pocket, which you have toasted (toasting is not only yummy, it helps it hold up to the sauce). If you have also made white beans and spinach, put some white beans on top, they are good to. The ratio should be 1 egg per pita pocket. That's 2 eggs per person, 4 eggs per boyfriend.

Also, note the hot sauce in the picture. Remember how I said he eats spicy like he has no taste buds? I had to FORCE HIM to take a bite before he doused it in hot sauce. And of course, he still doused. Sheesh, I have a hard life.
