True indeed. Kinda like bad coffee is better than no coffee.

If I was going to use "I can't believe its Not Butter" that would mean I'd have to drive to the store to get it. Might as well just buy butter when I'm there, right?

Same here......I always have a tub of lard around should such an emergency arise.
Now that it's 'mater season, my favorite summer light breakfast is a Buzzed Tomato...
Cut a deep well in the stem end of a large tomato. S&P to taste. Add minced fresh sweet basil. (Dried is okay, or any Italian spice mix) Add a generous amount of your favorite cheese (Cheddar, fontina, gorganzola, bleu, or my fave asiago) Nestle the tomato on a slice of toast. Drizzle well with good olive oil.
Buzz in the m'wave for 60 seconds or until cheese is bubbly and the tomato is hot. Enjoy!

Put an egg in the middle and youād really have something.
Good grief...the Brits and their idea of breakfast. Ever hear of Alamite? It's what they butter their toast with. It came into being (vogue?) during the war when all they had to eat was the scrapings from beer barrels. Oh, it tastes like effing asphalt.
Now the Germans...THEY know how to make breakfast (FrĆ¼hstuck).
Nothing wrong with a full "Britfast" - even the Marmite. Eggs, sausage, baked beans, tomato, black pudding, mushroom...and a thin smear of Marmite on toast.
After the morning constitutional i got a little hungry. Wife had some Frijoles de olla in the fridge so I whipped up some jalapeƱo onion refried beans and coffee. Wife decided that wasn't good enough and smashed out Huevos Rancheros.

Ed, where did you ever find that old wood burner, it's in fantastic shape! When I was a young rooster growing up that's all my mother had, ours had a water heater on the side but it wasn't as nice as yours. We had no plumbing in the house.
evey time i've tried cooking on top of a wood burner the pan never got hot enough unless one of those discs was removed to expose the bottom of the pan directly to the heat. is that the only way it works?
Been a long, long time since I've seen one of those hinged, double covered waffle makers. Clear back in my military days in Texas 50 years, awesome!
Dick
Theyāre time tested, even works on the camp stove when the power is out! Plus theyāre like a functional piece of artwork.
The quality they made things with back then is incredible and worth preserving.
Vintage cast is getting harder to find at a decent price, looks like cast is getting trendy again.. Look in antique stores for an old waffle iron like that, I really like mine.
The above are the actual volume amounts, based on reducing them from the 3 egg version. I just eye-ball it using a 1/4 cup measure.
But, if you want to get fancy, you could weigh the contents of 1/3 cup flour using a digital kitchen scale, multiply that by .50 to get the weight of .165 volume of flour. Might try it just for the heck of it. Then, put that in the 1/4 cup measure to see how far down from the rim it looks, for future reference.

great guess FC67, but that's not fennel, was wondering if someone would notice. my mother's secret ingredient, caraway seed, great flavor, along with Lawry's and black pepper
she would also slice in some green pepper, not red, and never scallions
you know this, but the american is never soft/runny, always well cooked, browned on the outside. french omelete per JP is soft, shiny and a bit custardy inside, not actually what you'd call runny he calls it 'loose'...I love it and can make it like that, but i don't often get the shape just right like he does
Yes, Im always shooting for the perfect consistency. To the point now that the wife won't make mine if shes cooking them.
I never liked the way Mom made them and Dad liked his eggs over petrified. So I learned how to make omelette watching the Galloping gourmet.
Carryon.š
Played with water or milk or other crazy stuff to get that texture or consistency you want Fats? I suspect you have x 10 but figured I'd get your thoughts. I love omelettes and have played with them a bit...

Half n half and I kinda wing it depending on size of eggs. Im a big fan of carryover cooking and leave the omelette a little on the undercooked side take off heat and cover for a few minutes to firm up before removing from pan. Its a game though that my wife hates.

I like an omelette to be done. What I really don't like is if the eggs were not completely beaten and while the majority of the egg is done, there is a pocket of unmixed white that is still snot.
I guess hoop cheese is basically a very young cheddar. It is soft. mild and kind of rubbery. Like FC said it is generally found in smaller local stores. I generally like very sharp cheddars and other strong flavored cheeses but like hoop cheese too.

Hoop cheese is made from the milk of the vicious and highly maneuverable hoop snake. It is a rare delicacy in that the milk must be collected while the snake is rolling, a task difficult in itself, but made more difficult by the danger involved should the snake deviate from its path of pursuit of the targeted individual to attack the milker instead.
This is fermented sausage and we can buy it semi-air dried or air dried. It is really great. But it is not as good as it used to be just like our country hams aren't either. The dang government got involved and now the air dried sausages have to start with refrigeration which limits some of the microbes that added the great flavor. Our country hams were great when the green mold grew on them but now most folks sale fresh hams because they have to use more salt and keep them salted longer before hanging. In the old days you would get a country ham and the seller would stick an ice pick in the ham, pull it out and smell it. He'd either say that one took or that one didn't take. They were less salty and much better. These sausages are kind of the same way as they have a little more salt. But we still cook them the same way. fry em up on low heat and then add water to hydrate. I've had folks say it's the best breakfast sausage they have ever had.

Here is a small article on this sausage. This is the brand I buy but as a kid I remember the good stuff at Edge Brothers in Snow Hill, NC. That was where I was born and my mothers side of the family still lives today. Edge Brothers is no longer there so I have to settle for the best I can find and this is it.

i've gotta make pancakes again. I saw the one j_con posted and came up with something similar, probably should get some blueberries, too. it is amazing how readily available some fruits and vegetables are, as opposed to being seasonal. of course the seasonal local product is much better, but still the foreigner items come in handy sometimes.

Interesting thing about those pancakes I posted.
Last several times we ate those, my wife cooked them.
They were salty! We could not figure it out. MAYBE a change of baking powder??
We, I made them yesterday morning and figured it out right away.
I use Kosher salt....she uses fine salt when she cooks.
A teaspoon of Kosher should have been like two thirds teaspoon fine salt....maybe less.
The key is getting that dark crispy layer on the bottom.
As for taste meh I couldn't tell the difference between this stuff and what is sold in restaurants. Especially after the egg yolks and tabasco mixed in.
Sourdough starter, all purpose flour, buckwheat flour, some rye flour, oat bran. Let work for an hour or so. Add some maple syrup to the batter along with a tiny bit of sugar and some milk to get the right consistency . An extra large, probably Jumbo, egg from the one hen that must have a really good time getting that one out her ass. Some oil and a pinch of baking soda. Wait for good bubbles to start forming.
Cook on cast iron of course. Worst part for me is the GD Electric stove. I'm learnin' after 3+years with it. Start it on Med/High while finishing up the batter. When the griddles start to "spit", turn down the burners to medium. Start cooking cakes. As they get going turn griddles down further to low/medium. No more setting the fire on the gas stove to what I know it should look like.
For the freezer:
Mine mine mine!
I love pancakes and had to stop myself at 4. Served with raspberry curd on two and maple syrup on the other two.
Geno
PS, sorta bummed as when I opened this thread and went back to the first page, there was a post by Field Grade.
We make 99% of our own bread, a loaf every 3-4 days. Various flavors, just finishing up a loaf of English toasting bread. Think sort of like an English muffin loaf. So we always have various ingredients around. I always try to keep a starter in the fridge, so sometimes when it needs woke up and started again, I'll use the starter and whatever I decide to throw together to make hotcakes. Whole wheat, rye, rolled oats, seven grain cereal, buckwheat, wheat berries, oat flour, cornmeal.....whatever strikes my fancy. Sometimes use brown sugar, molasses, or honey for the sweetener in the dough.
I love pancakes.............as in it's really hard to just limit myself to four for breakfast. Most I've ever eaten was 14 (bigger than those today) when I was a teenager. Now, I can probably still do 8 of the size I made today, but I refrain.
As to the taste.......................today's were the BOMB!
Because I don't do recipes, sometimes they're not as good as today's. Most times they're close though.
Simple this morning. Two eggs with nice firm yolks, picked yesterday, and a slice of leftover roast beef, with the last slice of the English toasting bread and a slice of pumpernickel just out of the oven.
I eat eggs and grits about every day most of my life..
For quite awhile grits were a staple in my kitchen so when it came time to restock I bought a couple of bags. For some reason they're still on my pantry shelf unopened. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Is it because I ran out of maple syrup or did I just get tired of a great dish ?
By the way I was watching some old Gunsmoke episodes and Chester had visited an old women and was talking about how good her speckled gravy was. What is speckled gravy?

Have you got a recipe for pumpnickl bread you'll share? I love the bread at Outback, I think its pumpernickel.
Roux to bechamel, add cheese for a mornay sauce, or vinegar/lemon juice & egg yolks for Hollandaise & herbs for Bearnaise, replace milk with stock for gravy.
Was taught to make all kinds of gravy this way by my grand mother.
We were basically a milk gravy family when I was growing up. Mom would fry up fatback and make milk gravy ( no pepper in this and she was heavy handed on black pepper) That is the best gravy IMO by far. One of the things that may sound strange to some is salmon gravy. Once a week we would have salmon patties ( royal pink salmon ) sauerkraut, and pan fried potatoes and onions. Mom would make milk gravy from the oil she had fried the salmon patties in and we would put that over the salmon patties. it is wonderful. Try it some time.
all good but biscuits and gravy is a whole nuther thing
????
As in what regard ?
i was pointing out the drastic difference between the cuisine referred to in his post, which is essentially typical in European and French cooking, in comparison to the concept of American style biscuits and gravy. Southerners use all manners of pan grease to make gravy.
(I just saw a lady on YT make fried chicken and then use the frying medium, i think it was vegetable oil, to make gravy, never saw that before. I'd like to try it but it has to be tricky to get right, because she even used a different process of frying the chicken.)
About 6-8 months ago I'd reckon, I found tri tip for the first time in NC at a small meat shop north of Durham. I bought three of them. Ain't seen um since.
i sauteed some onion in a #3, added a buttered, cubed slice of toasted whole wheat, broke two eggs on top, liberally seasoned, covered, cooked on low heat until the eggs set
This morning, three eggs from the girls out back, some bacon, onion tops from the garden, a little leftover broccoli, a few Kalamata olives, and some cheese, cooked in the grease from the bacon:
Only problem, the bottom got a bit dark, thanks to the friggen electric stove I haven't figured out how to make work in nearly 4 years. If there wasn't a wife involved, it would have been gone after a half year, as soon as I could get propane set up!
Wasn't as "burnt" as the pic looks, just darker than I'd have preferred for "perfect"

Fried a couple of pieces of bacon. Buttered and toasted top and bottom of a hamburger bun in a skillet. Softened some green onion and green pepper in some butter. Broke an egg into the greens and swirled it around to break up the yolk. Put the bacon and the egg mix into the bun. Glass of milk and a chocolate-covered graham cracker.

Fathers day breakfast. 2 eggs the girls laid for me yesterday, a bit of bacon, a sauteed red onion just pulled from the garden, a little tomato/basil Feta cheese crumbled on top, cracked pepper, and a nice toasted slice of Anadama bread:
and breakfast dessert was a homemade fig bar:
for not being a father (that I know of ) I did pretty good this morning.
I eat the same for breakfast every day. Rolled oats porridge with overnight soaked raisins topped with fresh blueberries, no sugar of any kind. The soaked raisins provide all the sweet needed.
Had another breakfast for lunch today after church. 2 soft boiled eggs on toast with cheddar and a dill on the side. Family Fadder's day Q tonight at the first born's lakeside abode complete with grandsons, kayaks and canoes and wet dogs. Life is good.
Anyone got some good fish for breakfast dishes they are partial to?
I'm down with the skillet trout fried in bacon fat already.
My brother used to work at a commercial trout "ranch". We used to eat trout for Christmas breakfast for years. Had walleye for breakfast as well at the camp.
Kippers and eggs is a very traditional British breakfast. My FIL ate that and got me going on the same.
Even the frozen ones are pretty good and fairly inexpensive.. We always have a big bag of them on the go and use them on a lot of dishes. I like them under yogurt and granola.
I's been a long time but, a good omelet, bacon, (of course), pineapple, cheese. Rolled over, and cooked just to perfection!' Course, I've never been able to do that.
Cottage cheese and pineapple for breakfast, snack or dessert is fantastic. I like mine dusted with a little pico de gallo powder as well. Same with cantaloupe or musk melon.
Imagine EdM's verde but a little less soupy wrapped in a home made tortilla with a little queso chihuahua. I tossed on some grated romano as I like my lilies gilded.

i bet that would be good stuffed with carnitas, too
Exactly! Which coincidentally pairs well with all types of cuisine.
Jim- I like Bohemia or Negra Modelo for Mexifast. I don't do Tecate or DosXs, Ill have regular Modelo or Bud if the first two aren't available.
To add Daughter #3 loves this one. Local brew but you'd be hard pressed to find it much past Kommiefornia. Least you git yourself a TransAm and Semi to do a Bandit run.
perhaps sir james will come around before the hunt to join us for a muffin and spot of that confounded coffee those americans are so bloody fond of...no worries about the setting, old chap, hm's china could withstand another skirmish in the colonies, i reckon...cheerio
One of them taters I picked the other day, a fresh Anaheim pepper, a small rasher of decent cheap bacon (from Canada no less), and two cackleberries from the Gulag. Topped off with a slice of that loaf of bread that came out of the oven while I was cooking the breakfast. (something the wife made with yogurt and dill in it, yum)
Looking at my pic, I either need to change the lighting, clean the camera lens on the phone.........................or upgrade my 7 year old phone, which is not likely until it dies. Then, I have my wife's old one to try to swap my info to and see if I can get another half decade out of the same model.

the entire pic is out-of-focus for some reason, usually the camera figures that out.

I like the old coil stove tops, grease and chunks of rice, stray burnt bean migrate under that, stay for a few week to months. Then one day you got all uppity and wrap them drip pans in shiny new foil. Ready to impress that gal from dollar general you met last week.
Makes me proud to shun cell phones and glass top ranges.
I can't convince her we NEED to get the house plumbed for propane so I can have a proper cookstove indoors.
I hate the glass top thing too, especially trying to figure it out with cast cookware. I'm getting good with the settings for pancakes on my comals, but the fry pan is still tricky. By the time I get it warmed up to temp, the dang stove keeps heating it for what seems like forever. I'm constantly having to take it off and move it to an unused burner.
I'll take a coil stove over this one anyday. I can at least get an idea of the amount of heat by how hot the coils look. This one cycles on and off under the glass and it sucks..............Yugely!
french toast casserole, not bad, never made it before, used cubed up cinnamon muffins from last weekend in place of bread, a dash of nutmeg would work well. If i ever do it again i know all the proportions, and can see some nice variations

electric, black coil stoves are dark, dangerous, seductive...evil
harmless in appearance, they lure you into placing your dominant hand on the searingly hot coil, followed by months of agony and surgeries, only to have the doctor say nothing else can be done, leaving you with fingers melded together, and a duckfoot, webbed paddle for a hand
plus, without warning they'll scorch the bottom of a pot of marinara, before you could say, 'mangiamo'...
Home alone so.... very small end cut pan seared filet mignon, two over easy eggs, and two left over biscuits cut in half and toasted until crisp on top with real salted butter. Going back to bed now!
Just finished some of the fabulous bacon from our hog, egg with green onion and green pepper scrambled in, toast with some of the wife's homemade rhubarb/strawberry jam, and a glass of milk.
slides easily out of the pan, then the toppings i've seen mentioned are lemon juice, syrup, fruit, preserves, powdered sugar. I've made fruit sauces, little more work, but delicious. a bananas foster sauce is sublime. No reason to put butter on it, the skillet is prepared with a copious amount of butter, which is heated up along with the pan. In the picture you can see melted butter floating on top.
Sauteed red Anaheim pepper, a fried red 'tater, sliced tomato from the garden.
Two eggs from the girls out back.
Some bacon from Canada but not "Canadian Bacon"
Coupla slices of fresh bread right out of the breadmaker.
Topped it off with some really fresh basil, as in I went out to the garden and picked it when I put the lid on the skillet to cook the tops of the eggs some.
And some of my spicy dried pepper flakes from last year's garden.
hey everybody. its me. wabi. i got my grandson to hack. sse's account. anyway tried to make a dutch baby and it didn't turn out. i used the one on the right, do youthink that made a difference.?
cook fast at higher heat will cause the white to be firm, frying a bit longer at lower heat, and the whites are soft.
coincidentally, for whatever reason, i have always fried eggs by putting the small, non-stick skillet on a low fire, let it heat for 5-6 minutes, then adding butter, which melts quickly, then the egg, which takes a minute before it starts bubbling (depending on how long it has been out of he fridge), then turning the heat even lower before letting it go until time to flip.
the whites are always nice and soft, the edges are never brown and crispy. the yolk is pretty runny and the whites are set

i've neve bought Costco bacon, like many of their branded products, it's packaged in large quantites. Regardless, i love thick cut bacon...nothing like scooping soup into the gullet and snagging a big hunk of it
It has come to out attenton that a certain list member, despite repeated warnings, has cross-thread/board posted the attached image in violation of the 11th amendment to the constitution of CA. The QC are expected to lay charges.
Some decent bacon, sauteed onions and peppers from the garden, couple of eggs from the ladies out in the Gulag fried in the bacon grease, topped with fresh pico de gallo salsa made with fresh garden ingedients too. Not in the pic, a buttered slice of homemade herb bread.
Paul, what kind of hens do you have that give small eggs?
One of our reds is giving up an egg every other day right now after molting. And she's the one that lays a huge one. As in I can hardly close a carton from "extra large" dozen on them.

Hey Geno,
Leghorns, chicks this spring, so only started laying late September, that's why the first ones were small.

One of our reds is giving up an egg every other day right now after molting. And she's the one that lays a huge one. As in I can hardly close a carton from "extra large" dozen on them.
Got one laying double yokers !!
2 day in a row, I'll have to get a picture. Same deal, can't close an egg carton over them !
Daughter got a criminal psych degree from college but seems to have minored in baking. She worked in the university bakery for four years at college to make extra money.

Paul,
you have a Foghorn for them girls or are you running an estrogen only yard???
Had some double yolks when mine were youngsters too. I think they couldn't figure out how to spit out an egg frequently enough You know, they call them birdbrains for a reason, right?
I'm going to look into some banties or such next season, should I decide to keep chickens. After loosing one to a fox, another to a coyote, and having to separate another one because her sisters and the rooster no longer like her, I'm beginning to think I may just look for a source around here. The Mennonites maybe, or so hippie chick perhaps.
Good luck with yours, by next spring they should be in full blown egg a day mode.

That's what I had, after the first year I was getting a full half dozen a day for periods between molts. Now I think that they're starting to age and aren't as productive.
4-6 a day was way more than we could use, so friends got to barter me some green paper for some at times.
Nice Geno, I like them double fisted griddles you got going on.
Only way to go when cooking up a bunch of cakes!
Actually, when I was working up north 8 months a year I got tired of packing the one I had back and forth every spring and fall, so I bought another for the wife's place. Only took me a few years to figure that out, but I'm a cheap bastid and probably didn't want to spend extra $$$.
Can't see it well, the one on the left is older and has a handle that comes out relatively flat. The newer one on the right has a curve in it. Both Lodge............I hate when they change scheidt, I prefer the one on the left. It is stored in the pantry and is used for quesadillas and grilled cheese sammies frequently. The one with the curved handle is stored on the bottom shelf of a cupboard.
Pancake morning today. Leftover sourdough starter from waking it up the other day to make a loaf of sour rye.
This batch was sourdough whole wheat, oat bran, 7 grain cereal, yogurt, brown sugar batter. Turned out really yummy.
Bought a lug of apples the other day for drying and making apple sauce (Honeycrisp, organic, on sale) so I diced up some apple to put in the cakes:
topped off with some cinnamon, butter, and some Dark Grade A maple syrup. I was a happy man this morning for sure.
those griddles are fantastic, will feed you good
i've been thinking i'm due for a batch of pancakes
Displaying excellent thought in only making one pancake per pan. Trying to do more than one always results in a mess when you flip one over and it overlaps another one. Attempting to prevent this by pouring each to one side or the other of the pan is a fool's errand and they will meet and run together anyway when poured.

i have three 90's era Wagner skillets, they get no love from collectors, which is fine by me (except i do have one that is new/unused which would fetch a good dollar).
anyway the handle of them has a wonderful ergonomic curved shape, with a spot for the thumb..pretty handy for a heavy skillet. some later Lodges have a tab opposite the handle, which i'm sure helps

Yep, you have that right. Electric glass top range, I hate the dang thing. It's hard enough to get the heat right for one cake per griddle. And as you mention, the size I like to make them works best with only one. I could make them a good bit smaller and fit two, but I don't have kids and don't like mini-cakes.
Spam, skillet taters, blue corn tortillas and fried eggs this morning.
I used to fats but not anymore. We but them local from a Sonoran lady....
homemade tortillas are the bomb. Especially flour ones. But I love homemade corn ones too. Reminds me I haven't made any in too long a time.
Might need to fix up a batch then make some enchiladas.
GW local is good.. I can down four or five myself in a meal after a hard day. Can be quite the chore to make enough for several meals for several adults. When I had the three kids home all playing sports we could burn through 100 corn torts in a couple of days.
Well, y'all went and did it.......................inspired me that is.
I had a couple of links of chorizo I got from the local butcher shop, if 100 miles away is considered local. We're just about out of eggs from the hens out back. Between the change of season and them molting I haven't had a fresh one in a few days. I wanted to eat a couple with something good, so this morning it was chorizo and eggs with homemade corn tortillas. Topped off with some Bufalo salsa chipotle. A bit of work, but as in most cases along those lines, well worth it.
It was a wonderful breakfast. I haven't had chorizo in over a year I bet. I'm not much of a fan of the stuff from the grocery and I haven't found a carniceria around yet. Howard's Meats in the big town did a pretty decent job though. Chorizo may once again be on the breakfast menu on a more regular basis.
Someone mentioned the extra handle on the newer Lodge fry pans. I think I got this one around 2010 or so when I gave the ancient family one to my sister to pass down to one of her kids. I have none and was afraid it might just go to the thrift store when I'm "gone".
Still getting 6 a day, bought 2 x 18's in to work today, to give to the boys !
Great for huntin brunches & snacks.
i like the looks of that
As do I.
Nice work Paul. And good thing about those hens still laying. I'm considering getting a few news ones next year, or even giving up the operation. I hate taking care of the dang things when I'm not getting any goodies from them.
Saturday, after morning hunt - Leftover spag squash cili casserole n fresh egges !!
Sunday, after morning hunt;
Good job on the eggs, perfectly done.
my guess is that you put the the eggs in a non-stick pan, probably with butter, then add a bit of water and cover, till they reach the doneness, gives them a poached look...tell me i'm wrong
hey everybody. its me. wabi. i got my grandson to hack. sse's account. anyway tried to make a dutch baby and it didn't turn out. i used the one on the right, do youthink that made a difference.?
uh oh, i'm goonie. and did this again. oh. Fiddlesticks
no way i can eat a big breakfast the way i've packing it away...been making little breakfast muffins, beaten egg, seasoned, with scallions, fried, folded on toasted english muffin with swiss
i really like them with scallions in the scrambed eggs, got the idea from Einstein's. Usually, i put the mixture in a small bowl, or ramekin, and nuke it, comes out nice and fluffy.
line the dish ( i did use non-stick spray, not sure it is needed) with one roll of the crescent roll dough, beat three eggs, add 1 cup of shredded cheese, 8 oz of cooked breakfast sausage, pour into the dish, bake 375 deg for 25 min
this is a half batch, a full batch would go in a 9" x 13" dish
My hens quit laying a couple of months back, one just started back up. When I got to three eggs from her I decided it was time for me to eat bacon and eggs again
Getting down near the end of the Modoc reds in storage, Way too early to plant more too. But this season I'm going to shoot for at least a 50lb harvest. The 30 I got this year is running out too soon and I didn't even dehydrate any. The other morning's breakfast:
And of course, fried taters go really good with some cackleberries from the girls out back and some decent bacon (from Canada no less)

i find i can put a good brown crisp on redskins much better with an aluminum non-stick pan
We don't own one. Just that one or a stainless steel with a steel clad aluminum bottom.
My biggest problem is that *&%$#) glass top electric stove. That and the bacon grease smokes too much and tends to set off the *&%$# smoke alarms, even with the exhaust fan going.
When the weather gets nicer, I've got a gas grill to set up outside so I can cook things over real heat.
few years ago i joined some guys fishing at a cabin up north annually, every June. I told one guy, the 'cook', that if he was making bacon for breakfast, save the bacon grease because I had a need for it preparing dinner. i went down to the kitchen the next morning and it stunk to high heaven. Sure enough, he had a container of bacon grease in a container for me, brown and badly scorched, would taste as bad as it smelled.
i politely declined to use it saying it was scorched, but he coudn't understand why not. stuff was nasty

i spose, but he did make other things just fine. at the time i did suggest to him that cooking breakfast meat in quantity is easily done by lining a jelly roll pan with foil, and baking instead frying. he wasn't interested.

Works great, but some don't want to hear about anything thats not their way.
Harina o maiz tortillas? I'm more a chilaquiles guy. Still yum.

Nice. I scored a LBL Griswold griddle last year, got it cleaned up in the E-tank and it cracked during its first seasoning . š[/quote]
Unless you paid the crazy collectors price, I wouldn't worry about it. I've always said it was better for a CI piece to break while you were heating and greasing than when it is full of hot oil and food.
Iād like to find an old Colman triple burner like yours in good shape.
I got this Griswold predecessor Erie #14 round griddle around the same time. The bottom is a bit chowderād, you can barely make out the markings , but the top still has the factory finish, sits flat too!
my griddle is from the 40's...there was some pitting in one area, someone did an excellent job of cleaning and re-seasoning it...whoever you are thank you. There is a minimal bow from end-to-end, no problem...love using the d_mn thing
if you're referring to the huge one, i saw it on FB. apparently WWII era, for military use, don't think it is from a 'collector' mfg, weighs in at about 50 lbs, guess there's a few that come up for sale on occasion...i don't want one...LOL

Itād go good with this big Army stove. Seen this at an estate sale. I did try to get them to drop the price, glad they didnāt I have no idea what Iād have done with it.

This is all I got for Valentines Day.....and I'm good with that. Chili cheese hash browns, link sausage, sourdough toast and sunny side up eggs. One of, if not my favorite breakfasts.
In honor of Fat Tuesday, I just finished eggs, bacon, country fries, a biscuit, a bowl of applesauce and a glass of milk. Had my coffee hours ago and then blew the snow from my own and my neighbor's drive and sidewalks, which nicely spiked my appetite.
The other day. The end of a salami, some of those mini-peppers, lots of garlic, some onion. Two eggs from the girls out back. Some good sharp cheddar slices on the eggs. And a hot tortilla
I'd say it appears to be.....................................filling!
Hah! Thought I'd let the guessing go on for awhile.I took pozole and drained off the liquid, tossed that back in the soup. Then heated it in a skillet to dried it out more.Topped with two hard boiled eggs, guac, romano and hot sauce.
Neighbor works at a place that lodges hunters at times. Snow Goose season. One of the guests gets more than he could use, so I got one.
Grilled snow goose breast and egg sandwich for brunch today. Eggs cooked in my $1.80 Revereware skillet
goose, fresh from the grill. Forgot pics of it cooking out there (thanks to our own kamo_gari for the marinade ideas) :
Sandwich on a homemade bun (see bread thread). Two fried eggs underneath, goose, homemade grated horseradish from the garden, some black pepper. Black olives and some pepperoncini. My stomach is still happy!
This got some use, the lid too, yesterday morning:
It was used to make an omelette/frittata. 3 eggs from the girls, garlic, some aged 2 yrs cheddar, pepperoncini, a little milk and yogurt, and marinated snow goose meat. Inch and a half more snow yesterday morning, so no homegrown tomatoes to put on it yet.
and on the plate with my "modification" to the somewhat keto diet. A slice of homemade semolina bread. With good coffee of course and the Rural Electrification CO-OP magazine:
Today's "modified" keto breakfast, modified because the wife just made another loaf of homemade semolina bread and I didn't want to seem ungrateful.
There's a burger between those eggs, and the only bread is a single slice of the new loaf. Burger has some good cheddar on it. Protein bomb of sorts:
The best thing about home cooked eggs and burgers....................they can be cooked properly. Not served overdone to meet the county health inspector's standards:

Looks great...that will get you ready for an honest day's work...
i'm not a fan of pre-made stuff, but this is so easy, thought the result was decent. if you and your wife are like me, you'll try it a few times and go on to something new...

Probably, always trying something new along with the usual go to's
That's the way I like my eggs. Lots of bacon fat in a small cast iron pan with a lid that is a bit too small so it fits down a bit into the pan. Got to watch them cuz they cook fast and no need to flip them.
What's that green goober on the front of the plate?
Two eggs laid yesterday, a few shrimps, cooked with some Herdez Salsa Verde on top, topped with some peccorino Romana as I had no good salty Mexican crumbly cheese around, and a coupla corn tortillas to wipe the plate.
Didnāt take pics, but made cinnamon bun pancakes this morning. Mix a stick of butter melted, with a cup of brown sugar and a tbsp of cinnamon. Put it in a sandwich bag and nip off the corner like an icing bag. When the bubbles start coming up in your cakes, swirl the mixture around them.
My personal war with the Cholesterol Police is in full swing. The final battle is me being scanned for calcium in my heart next week to get them to shut up about it.
Meanwhile, tomorrow Iām having four eggs scrambled with herring roe for breakfast.
Made sourdough biscuits the other night for dinner. Reused them for breakfast a couple morningās after. First day with gravy from the goose sausage second day without gravy.
Spent a bit of time there 1980-85. The Del Monte Cafe some as well.
Thatās where breakfast tomorrow will be. For the last 20+ years youād find my grandfather there every Saturday morning until his passing two years ago. He was there often enough with some of his friends that they ended up making a special smaller plate for his smaller appetite.

Those were good times. Gus's and High Street were favorites and near where I lived for a bit. Morro and Islay?

I've got a pancake recipe (the kids and I call them schlapjacks) that I think I've perfected. Once I figure out how to post a photo I'll post the recipe. I cook them on iron skillets in lard, served hot with butter and homemade maple syrup. It's an almost every day meal for the girls before school. I don't eat sweets for breakfast, my idea of breakfast involves lots of eggs and meat. But the girls love those schlapjacks.

I for one am looking forward to the pancake recipe.
Snyder Schlapjacks: 2 cups flour 3 Tbsp sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 2 cups milk 2 eggs 1/4 cup oil 2 Tbsp Mayo (absolutely not miracle whip unless you shoot 270s) 2 dashes vanilla concentrate Blend well and fry in hot iron in lard. Flip when bubbles are starting to pop. Makes 6 schlapjacks. Serve hot with butter and sweetener of your choice.

Hope you like them. I kept on changing things around and adding ingredients until my kids said they were the best they've had, and I stopped. My son likes them with whatever homemade jam he finds in the pantry, the girls like the sweet sap. If I eat them with the kids, I like to top them with butter and a few sunny side up eggs, no sweets.
What's with the chicken sausage? I'm not being sarcastic or anything, just curious what makes it better than pork sausage.
I like pork sausage just fine, but the local grocery store had that chicken sausage on sale for several weeks. It's precooked and everyone in the house likes it. Tastes good, and not greasy.
I also started tracking macronutrient intake, and was shocked how far off I was for protein at my age/health/exercise levels/etc. I have had to eat a lot more meat/fish/poultry, which I don't mind one bit, but that requires me to watch the fat intake as well.
Oh well that makes sense. Ive got about 600 lbs of pork sausage in the freezer so buying sausage hasn't crossed my mind in a long time. I bet its just as tasty. I try to eat as much protein as I can, which I would imagine ends up being way more than my body can actually use.
Unless you track protein intake, you might be surprised how far off target you might be. It's actually not easy to hit target levels, depending on goals, especially as you get older.
I lift a lot of weights so I used to track macros. I figured out what I needed and have kept it in the same ball park, just stopped the tracking. Lots of milk and eggs.
Sunday Family Brunch was fresh home made chorizo sausage n eggs, country potatoes and fresh corn tortillas. Then off to the biannual street fair with the family.
Might have been a few b-fast cocktails in there as well.š
About 11 oāclock I be having some baked perch, a pile of chunked tomatoes and cukes w/EVOO and ACV, leftover fried rice, and if I have room, a couple of peaches. Peaches might have to wait a bit.
We have an Elberta tree I paid $30 for five years ago at Lowes, biggest one that would fit in the Buick. It just about buried us in peaches this year. Ran out of room for freezer bags full and started drying them. Eating two or three a day each. Hate to think what even just the fresh ones we eat woulda cost at Biden prices.

Just made these this morning. Top Notch! This may be a go to recipe.
Many years ago, while in gunsmith school I had a roommate who thought the perfect breakfast consisted of a frozen old El Paso bean burrito washed down with a budwiser followed by a half bag of red man chewing tobacco for desert.
Belgium Waffle recipe from my a foreign exchange student from Belgium my mom had living with her in the 60s. They are so light and delicious. My favorite breakfast as a kid, and still is as an adult
1/4 cup Warm Water for dissolving yeast. Put flour, salt, sugar in bowl. Add yeast. Put 1/2 milk in with flour. Separate eggs mixing yolks and adding with rest of milk to mixture. Beat whites til stiff and fold into mixture. Let rise to double (at least an hour or more). Bake on hot iron. I spray iron for easier removal.
One of our favorites is quite similar. Fried egg, bacon, and sliced fried banana between 2 slices of toasted home made sourdough bread. Not just for breakfast, occasionally it will be dinner too.........
People can grab pictures of food all over the internet,,, but if people posts food pictures on this blog without telling the readers what it is,, makes me wonder WTF.
The Gulag girls are finally laying regularly . Bitches, took most of the winter off.
Anyway, two nice cackleberries from the coop, some leftover New Year's Day ham I pulled out of the freezer the other day, two slices of homemade Irish soda bread, one with butter for wiping up the yolks and the other with my wife's homemade strawberry curd for breakfast "dessert".
Went to the big town yesterday where they have an honest to goodness Mexican grocery. Meat counter with butchers and all that. Kitchen where they make stuff fresh every day. Pan Dulce even.
Picked up a pound of bulk style chorizo, a pkg of corn tortillas made that morning, a tamal I ate for lunch, and a couple of baked goodies.
Breakfast this morning, two fresh tortillas, about 1/4 lb chorizo, two eggs from the girls out back with Salsa Bufalo Chipotle, and an "ojo de buey" I think is what the pan dulce is called.
I prefer my eggs looking at me so I didn't scramble them with the chorizo:
I've probably already posted on this thread, seeings it's a few years old, but.... weekday breakfast at our house, for me is about a quarter cup of grits left over from Sunday morning (heated in the microwave while my egg cooks) and one egg, over very easy, white all solid, yoke all liquid, and wash it down with a glass of fresh squeezed lemon juice cut half and half with water. Of course fresh ground coffee (if the beans are ground more than 30 seconds before the water hits them, might as well use sawdust.)
Sunday morning is different. Saturday afternoon or evening I make the waffle batter (yeast leavened) and set it to rise in the refrigerator until Sunday morning. I get up and plug in the waffle iron, while it's warming up I start the grits (yellow, whole corn) to cooking. My wife starts cooking the bacon (thick cut). I shred the cheese for the grits while I'm making waffles and putting them in a warm oven. Cheese for the grits is a carefully curated blend of 3 year old Vermont cheddar and gouda. When everything is ready, my wife cooks the eggs to order and we sit down to enjoy it with orange juice for most, lemon juice for me (cutting way back on sugar.) We finish up the meal with one of those great waffles and a goodly portion of DannyL's maple syrup from up home, all washed down with (fresh ground) strong, black coffee. I look forward to that all week.
Get up, stagger to the door let the dogs out, stumble back to the refrigerator and gulp a couple swallow s of oj eat a banana, let the dogs back in ,go back to bed.
First thing I do with a jar of store bought salsa is to pour it all in a strainer. After draining off most of the juice it goes back in the jar missing 1/3rd or more of its liquid mass.
The best store bought salsa I have found is Sadie's. Their hot, either red or green, is very hot. They make some labeled "Not So Hot" for those not liking the hot stuff. Walmart here sells it.

No photos but my youngest son and family are here and we had "lean" chorizo and eggs this AM. Killer stuff at 15% fat. Unheard of in my life time. It was killer.
Couple of cackleberries, homemade wheat bread toast, and the "eye" of a T bone (see the dinner thread). Life does not have to be bad while living on a fixed income:
Went to the fridge thinking fried eggs and oatmeal. Found a bunch of leftover stuff in the lunch meat and vegetable drawer. Ended up making poached eggs over venison jalapeƱo cheddar salami, tomato,onionās, avocado. On an English muffin, topped with pepper jack cheese.
ETA: coffee cup in the fourth pic looks huge! And can you describe/explain what is so special about the syrup? Special batch, preparation, region, aged, etc?
Seems like most people post pictures of eggs and bacon or some kind of heavy breakfast. 2 to 3 times a week I routinely make a smoothie with frozen banana and frozen berries with yogurt and honey and a little orange juice to loosen it up.
My wife needed to head into town today so I tagged along agreeing lunch would be on the ticket. Around 10:30 she advised she was hungry. A chili Verde brunch.

I don't grow food out back. Too much concrete and 80% of yard is Patio Covers and trees. Neighbor lady is a tomato planting freakasaurus hers should be coming in soon.
Yep, don't see the point of hard eggs, unless you are making for a salad !
I hear that but I likely eat more hard boiled than soft. I boil up a ton of them for when I leave the house very early to go scouting, throw them in your pack and eat on the hill with a packet of hot sauce.

Let there be GRITS!! Nuttin' better than a bowl of good ole Southern grits, Red Eye gravy and Cat Head biscuits containing a slice of country ham. Cause ya to slap yo Mammy!! Eggs, taters and such are jus added attractions.
Today was something new for me. Never had jowl bacon. Local producer, well as local as it gets here, comes to the farmers' market over the hill. I've bought some of their sausage before, haven't tried their beef as I get that from my neighbor (now that's local). So this past weekend I decided to try something else from their hogs.
With a couple of eggs from Goldie the hen in the Gulag (the other two are molting, they need to get busy soon)
And the bread was made last night, sourdough rye sammich style

The only Silva sausage I can find, is of all places, at my place in north Idaho, linguica. So I bring a load home every year but the college years were Cattaneo Bros and in NorCal it was hot Amaral's.
You are what you eat. Ground up chicken claws and pigs' teeth.
With the thread title "how to MAKE breakfast", I just assumed he worked at McD's. I'm always interested in how different folks prepare food. Could really give a schat what people consume on a daily basis. Sheesh...

As you inferred. He didn't MAKE anything. He ATE ground up chicken claws and pigs' teeth.
Fats- I made the chorizo breakfast casserole with the recipe you shared the other day. Had to bake it in a proper pan for fridge storage. Turned out wonderful.
Recipe please. Have a pound of lockford chorizo left and this seems like a good way to use it
Only for you broseph,
For one pound chorizo id use
Largest Cast iron skillet you got. 1 med purple onion diced or pole to pole if you please, 5/6or7 red potatoes diced fry in 2 tbls rendered fats together. Add to potatos and onions after fried a bit: onion/garlic powder, little salt, pepper, crushed dried oregano, cumin and California chili powder.
When taters are about half done move to sides of skillet or bowl. Fry chorizo mince up while cooking toss potatoes/onions back in when about half done. Cook till almost done.
12 lrg scrambled eggs with 1/4cup whole milk. Pour over chorizo potatoes mix in gently don't break up eggs to much cook couple minutes. Toss in preheated 250 oven till almost firm. Dump on cheeses i used Cheddar and Romano toss under LOW broiler til melted.
Carry over cooking and residual heat is you friend don't dry out the damn eggs.
And no raisin sauce Cert, borrowed Kirkland alcohol your choice m1919.
Pull put on cold stove top burner and serve with fresh homemade flour tortillas.
Thanks, New 2 99s. I wish the various picture posters here would label their dishes. Some are very hard to identify. I will say however, it is pretty easy to identify green beans, asparagus, and a charcoaled rib eye steak.

+1 on that!
Sometimes I am on a computer with a crappy old monitor (bad colour) and a little text would be much appreciated!
Fixin ta learn myself how to make those egg bite doo-dads like the Jimmy Dean sausage people sell. Those are fine as they can be, but they're pricey Probably make a few boo boos like on everything else I try to copy, but I'll get it right eventually

This ^ ^ ^ ^ is too much trouble IMO. The results were ok, but I don't think I'll be making this again. I can only see making a big batch, and only if the ingredients were free. Diminishing return was reached very quickly
This is going in the memory bank for future use. I thought more restaurants should serve this to use up any leftover pulled pork from the night before.
Had some leftover pulled pork (free from the grocery store calendar coupon). Didn't have any bacon or sausage regular bfreakfast meat. Said what the hell, put some pork and a good amount of the sauce in the fry pan, got it hot, plopped a couple of eggs from the hens on top, served it all on top of homemade oatmeal molasses bread
I think I could most certainly go for that lamb one Paul.
Timber Runner, should I ever have any left over grilled fish I may try it. I'm certainly not adverse to having kippers and eggs, so why not grilled fish. I've also eaten my share of smoked salmon omelettes!
99ās and rcam.. you guys are dropping a small bowl over those eggs in the pan to finish them I assume..?
I cook my eggs like that in a small Lodge CI pan. I use the lid from another pot that fits down into the taper of the pan leaving only a small space. Cooks them perfectly every time without flipping.
Gotta like Jacques Hey rcamuglia, the man is a true master in the Kitchen! I found the best was to make PERFECT POACHED EGGS every time.
Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil add 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar and 1 Teaspoon of salt. Take off the heat, add eggs, and let them sit for 3 minutes, take them out with a slotted spoon.
Was up in the big town the other day, nice big Supermercado up there. Wife wanted some tostada shells, I always find something yummy there, usually pan dulce of some sort. Went to the meat counter and they had some chorizo picoso! I've tried their loose bulk chorizo, but too salty for me. Asked, in Spanish, for a lb of the picoso. Butcher dude looked at my suspiciously then must have figured because my Spanish isn't too bad for a gringo that I knew what I was doing. Smiled and got me my chorizo. I went over to the deli counter where they keep the freshly made corn tortillas and grabbed a package of them
Decided to just cook the whole pound and have it ready for future use after taking out about a quarter for this morning. As soon as it hit the hot pan, the vinegar and chili fumes hit me and I started coughing. Took a few minutes for it to get over the other side of the kitchen where my wife was and made her cough too. I knew then it was gonna be good
When I flipped that fugger over it spit chorizo juice at me, good thing I didn't get any in my eye.
Had three eggs from the hens still on the counter from yesterday. Figured I'd have a three egg breakfast. I'm not a fan of regular style with the eggs all scrambled up with the sausage, so I just sort of fried/poached them in the juices.
It was amazeballs. Heated up a couple of those fresh tortillas on my comal, eggs were slightly more done than I prefer, I'll have to pay better attention. Had to use the lid on the pan to keep the splattering down and I guess I'm not used to cooking them that way.
Stuff was hot enough at first it was tingling lips and slight burn in the throat.......ok, maybe a bit hotter than "slight". About 2/3 of the way through my nose was getting a bit runny but the sweat was just minor, not even running down my forehead. I'll rate this as decently "picoso", more than a lot of gringos can handle for sure.

A buddy has been making all kinds of different sausage. Forgot the name of this one, but I think he called it āmazzaā. Has venison, pork, a bit of liver (which you wouldnāt know was there upon tasting) orange zest and interesting spices.
