Sounds Like Runner's Grub

Saving Grace, Salvaging Eggs, High Protein, [reasonably] High Carb...

It was a week ago today when this post was inspired. Yep. Once again, in a striving attempt to make a molehill out of another [somewhat] mountain.

It'd been suggested to unload the vehicle where it was, on the quiet street, rather than the busy street on the other side of the corner location. I obliged & continued with the unpacking as I'd be staying at this location for just a few days. As previously mentioned I've technically two wardrobe styles: athletic/running gear & professional, ready-to-be-at-work. I'd been wearing the latter all day, which included a thrift store find - a unique sweater knit, nearly bright yellow skirt which would wear well with all things navy as well as gray & many pinks too.

In earnest of completing the task as timely as possible, I carefully & considerably loaded many bags (although, in my cautionary sense, I could've loaded even more) onto my forearms & fingers each time, leaving behind a item or two when necessary to balance for these wet weather conditions.

Then it happened anyway. Boom! I went down. I was on the ground knowing I was wearing said skirt & that one of those bags on my forearm contained two relatively well-packed dozen eggs. I'd have to investigate their cartons.

I spent, probably an hour, more likely closer to two hours in total, cleaning up the cartons & considering the salvage-ability versus the loss of what remained. The biggest positive was that these egg cartons were plastic & not instead a Styrofoam. This made it easier to retrieve all that could've been lost.

I learned how difficult it is to retrieve already-been-cracked eggs from their carton slots. 😂 I ultimately managed.

I realized I technically had nine eggs which really needed to be used right away. Bingo! I'd grab this from the small box (I think the exact one in which Amazon sent it to me 😁) & began working in the mixing bowl.

This "great positive" that came out of the situation: A super high in protein snack/meal add-on. I mixed four eggs with this coconut oil, water, this flour, this salt, pepper, could be also random preferred spices such as parsley, turmeric, basil, dill weed. Dried tomato pieces. Almost like an omelette, yet one with flour instead of cheese or meat.

It becomes dough-like & you've got something solid & good to work with. Drop this, somewhat pancake-style, into a low, yet wide pan, or a large skillet. Press down on it. Wait until it browns. Keep pressing on it in so that all of the raw batter touches the skillet & cooks & browns. Flip it. I used an average-sized spatula (like the one pictured in the middle here) for the entire "project"; it worked out well for me.

I made two of these. The high protein content, along with the flour's carb content, made for a spectacularly filling snackish meal. I made sure to eat them the evening before what was my 23 mile long run. Typically I end up enjoying the filling benefits of one banana before a run longer than 10 or so plus miles. In this case, I definitely didn't need anymore fuel. I lasted well into the run & got to enjoy the fruits of the labor of a "practice run" alongside a scheduled event. My mile times proved positive.

I'm also considering this same egg/flour recipe design with cinnamon, apples, cocao, etc. for a more "dessert-like" approach.
