OT - Breakfast
Now I love a big breakfast as much as any other man....since we visited about fried steak last week I thought what the heck...I am medically retired and the boss works in the school system. She is outta the house before 7am...so I'm on my own if I want a big breakfast (she cooks a darn good one on Saturday mornings). Most of the time I just eat toast or biscuits. This morning I fixed eggs fried with ham chunks and chopped green onions, strong coffee and bread. Now I'm telling ya the onions reminded me of the old days (eggs and onions).....well shredded wheat in the morning.....gotta go fold the laundry......it is hard being a house husband....maybe a short nap first....

Re: OT - Breakfast
Yep and nothing rounds out a good breakfast like grits. Now I'll tell y'all I found out the secret of making not just good grits or even great grits, I'm talking DEEVINE grits.
The secret is making the grits the night before. I'm not talking about those instant things that look like some kind of ant poison I'm talking about real honest to corn grits. Bring 'em to a boil just like it says on the bag, yep the real ones come in bags not boxes. After they come to a boil put 'em into the family crock pot and turn it on low. Now go to bed. When you get up the next morning those will be the sweetest most tender grits you've ever sopped a biscuit with. Be sure to make them a little bit wetter than you normally would and use plenty of butter right off the bat.
Now I gotta go to bed.
nite,nite

Re: OT - Breakfast
For breakfast nothing beats a ham and cheese omelet (3 eggs please) and a short stack of pancakes. Add a glass of OJ and maybe a cup of hot chocolate and it is pretty good indeed. Heck, it is good for lunch and dinner, too!
For the wife you can sub grits for pancakes. In fact, if you scramble the eggs and served with bacon she'll just dump the eggs in her bowl (large) of grits and eat them all together. She HAS to have a big steaming cup of coffee, black, with that.

Re: OT - Breakfast
The last Sunday of each month at church we have a men's breakfast. We always cook ham, sausage, bacon, eggs, grits, hash browns, biscuits and sausage gravy. Several times a year we add pancakes. The coffee, milk and OJ flow along with the discussion about the Lord. I have been cooking there for 26 years......one of my favorite Sundays I must add. Ya'll need to try garlic cheese grits......make up your grits (cook), add a tube of good Kraft garlic cheese all cut up and a beaten egg. Mix everything and put in a greased pan and bake for about 45 minutes at 350*......if ya like add a little shredded cheese on top......

Re: OT - Breakfast
Grits and a couple of eggs fried in the bacon grease is good eatin' but there ain't nothing like fried pork chops with grits and tomato gravy. all good Florida crackers are raised on that.

Re: OT - Breakfast
Hey mescalero, if you just keep up with the good food you grew up with you'll be alright. I ain't a doctor but at 70 I still eat all the venison, steak, and pork chops I want. Just stay active and go ahead and enjoy good food.
Red meat and bacon keep us going, grass and grain is for cattle.

Re: OT - Breakfast
1# ground sausage (I like Maple smoked), 1# bacon cut into 1/2-3/4" pieces (again, I go for Maple smoked), 1 bag hash browns (the cubed kind, not the "hash" kind if that makes sense), 1 dozen eggs.
Brown the bacon and sausage in an iron skillet, drain some of the grease off, add hash browns and cook until they are thawed (since I usually dump them out of the bag straight from the freezer ). Beat the eggs (a little half and half or creamer added is nice) and pour over the bacon, sausage, hash brown mix. Cover with foil and bake at 350 until it sets. Uncover and brown the top.
The time will vary based on the actual amount of ingredients used (I usually double everything ) but it's usually 45 to 90 minutes.
Mmmm, mmm good!

Re: OT - Breakfast
How about a 6 Egg white "Denver style" omelet with low fat cheese, Healthy choice shredded ham, diced peppers, onions and 'shrooms. On the side, have half a sprouted grain roll and wash it down with a big glass of non-fat milk (or mineral water) !!! yes-- this is a real breakfast for me

Re: OT - Breakfast
Some kind of Hobo Hash....fry the taters and two or three kinds of meat, onion, green pepper, garlic, red pepper, black pepper, heck, any spices that trip your trigger. When that's about done crack eggs into it to your heart's content (no pun intended ) Grate great cheese all over the top when it's done..Lot's of ketchup and hot sauce.... A little milk gravey and some mayo bisquets don't hurt either....

Re: OT - Breakfast
Well boys it's a big pancake for me in the winter when I'm heating with the wood stoves. Slathered with Maple syrup and a quart of cold orange juice. One twelve incher seems to be about right. Watch yer top knots (and cholesterol). Wind

Oh no, this is the oily kind that the Hungarians and some Italians made in the east. NJ was my home south of Trenton. The pizza out here is completely different. But there is Barone's. But if you get back there I'll have my brother take you for the current best.

Re: OT - Breakfast
Rusty, to make tomato gravy you just add a couple of spoons of flour to the frying pan after you take out the pork chops or pork steak {both are great fried in a big iron skillet], stir in the flour and add a big can of tomatos cover a big pile of grits with the gravy and then dig in.Son, that is good eatin'.
