Feta, Dylan Baconrad Scramble

Breakfast, Survivor NZ, Survivor NZ: Thailand, TV Recap

Following the shocking quit of JT due to his illnesses, we arrived at tribal council to discover that it would not in fact be cancelled – yet – as I assumed. Dylan spoke about his pride in making the halfway point of the game and desperately wanting to make the merge, while Matt spoke about putting everything out on the table, riding luck and trying his best.

Matty Chis rubbed salt in Renee’s wounds about receiving votes at the last tribal council, with her dancing around the fact that contestant Matt is the person that threw said vote her way and as such, she is still pissed about it. On the flipside, Dylan was feeling confident and trusted his new allies … however based on the fact Renee and Arun looked hella awks, it looks like it could be misplaced.

Save sweet, sad angel Dylan.

Arun spoke about going with the flow of the game while Dave said he needs time to build trust – don’t we all Dave? – before Matty Chis asked if anyone felt like they were on the wrong side of the numbers.

With only contestant Matt admitting to feeling nervous about the vote.

With that tribal council continued as normal – despite the fact I was betting on a late breaking cancellation – and one by one Chani voted. As is literally the process, Matty them read said votes and not one followed by one by one by one and one more, Dylan was blindsided from the game. Much to the absolute smug delight of Adam, while sweet Matt rubbed his hand as comfort.

I was still not fully over my disappointment rage at JT, so was feeling quite emotional by the time Dylan arrived at Loser Lodge. Maybe it was the fact I was rooting for him and Adam to stop fighting and fall in love or maybe it was the realisation that my Survivor experience would probably resemble superfan Dylan’s rather than superfan Lisa’s, but thank f- I had the foresight to whip up some joy-inducing Feta, Dylan Baconrad Scramble.

 

 

Now I know that dill is pretty much the second most reviled herb behind coriander, but hear me out because these eggs are delicious. Salty, creamy and packing a punch of dill freshness, they’re the perfect way to eat away your feelings.

Enjoy!

Scrambled Flick Eggintons

Australian Survivor, Australian Survivor (2016), Breakfast, Main, TV Recap

Previously on Australian Survivor, the time had finally come for Matt, Flick and Kristie to split El and Lee and coast to the final three … so obviously the girls actually stuck with Lee and El as they made Matt the Magician disappear.

Seriously, I’m at the end of my tether and starting to lose faith in Kristie.

We opened up straight after tribal where Lee bemoaned the fact that Flick had tried to blindside the lovers again, despite the fact she literally told them that she was planning on booting El. Kristie then said something cryptic and wandered back into the woods, while you beaut El pulled Flick aside and tried to make her feel guilty. Ironically, she is the only one with nothing to feel guilty for, as she is the only one left making it interesting.

By the time day 52 rolled around, Flick realised that the OG Aganoans were in an alliance and that she is well and truly screwed. Not to be outdone, Kristie then ran us through her options which are rapidly becoming win final immunity or lose the game, since booting Matt last tribal.

Kristie then started a circle jerk – not literally guys, Sam has gone so Lee is riding solo in that regard – where each castaway had to say something they are proud of from their time in the game. Obviously El’s proudest moment is Lee – she needs to back off my (very soon to be ex) man.

Wanting to cut my grass, the producers then laid out enough ingredients to cook a feast, however Flick – being the only contestant left with a brain – used the opportunity to learn how to make fire in the hope that she could force a tie. So I guess Ten’s slight wasn’t a complete bust.

El and Flick started to have a babe off over the aforementioned fire while Kristie tried to emulate Queen Sandra Diaz-Twine by hiding in the rocks and eavesdropping. Lee then dropped by to talk about how horribly Flick is manipulating Kristie, despite it being his entire game, before El – hopefully – foreshadowed Kristie’s final immunity victory while creeping on her as she ate. Obviously in a hella patronising way, as El is known to do.

Despite having pushed me into a corner for the last half an hour, Kristie then started to work her way back into my heart by running off in the middle of the night to practice making fire. She may not have worked hard for the win, but it would be hilarious if she pulls it off … and kind of perfect for a completely bizarre season that always seem to head towards greatness, before choking and fizzling out with an eh.

Finally we arrived at the immunity challenge, an old favourite comprised of different stages from previous challenges. Given the fact that they’ve been pretty useless in challenges all season, it was no real shock that neither Kristie or Flick had any hope of victory while El, the deadset cobber that she is, was able to take out the victory.

More importantly, Lee got caught up in the ropes before working on getting his pole nice and big and hard enough to have a crack at penetrating my (key)hole.

With El wearing the necklace, we arrived back at camp, where the tribe commenced their scrambling … which pretty much meant Lee and El chilled while Flick worked overtime to try and convince Kristie and then El and even Lee to vote with her. And Kristie looked on, panicked from the shore.

Despite a strong performance at tribal council calling out literally everything, poor Flick’s work was all for naught as she found herself out of the game and into my arms. Obviously I was a mess to see my closest friend of the cast – we started as Meter Maids together in 2012 – booted from the game. After disgracing myself with the leftover Mattrioskas and a rancid Desmopolitan, Flick nursed me back to health the next morning until I was well enough to whip were up a big batch of my Scrambled Flick Eggintons.

While they may not be the most difficult or elegant dish, there is something perfect about something as simple as scrambled eggs. Lightly whisked and folded through foaming butter, scrambled eggs can cure anything … even watching a season of your favourite show take a pretty hard nosedive.

Enjoy!

Scrambled Flick Eggintons
Serves: 1.

Ingredients
3 large eggs
salt and pepper
1 tbsp butter, plus more for toast
a couple of slices of sourdough

Method
Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and give a hearty whisk.

Slowly melt the butter in a small frying pan over low heat and cook until frothy. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and slowly stir with a spatula, dragging the spatula around the edges of the pan and dragging towards the centre, creating light, delicate folds.

When they have formed delicate, wet curds, remove from the heat and butter your toast – you need to make toast at some point in this process, FYI. In that time, the eggs will have finished cooking. Spoon over the toast, season with a good whack of pepper and devour.
