(for variety, replace one of the sausages with black pudding).

Served with hot coffee and a glass of fresh orange.

just curious what is "Black Pudding"

Baked beans, eh, Dana? I believe that's common for breakfast in the southern parts of the U.S., but I've not done it. Not yet, that is. I shall have to give it a go.

ok - i'm in the south, but not gonna have baked beans for breakfast or any kind of beans for that matter.

however, bacon, eggs (over-easy), biscuits (really like the pillsbury frozen kind-mm), and gravy - don't have it that often, cause i'd probably die from it.

Only works for breakfast if accompanied by toast, eggs and sausage.

hot chopped tomatoes?

[jester]

and a little side note - if i eat breakfast - it's only on Saturdays - i never eat breakfast during the week - i might have a pack of crackers & coffee around 10 am and then i eat lunch around 1:30 - 2:00 pm

(i don't have time for it)

Sometimes I make an open-faced sammich.
Real baguette (hard to find here), slice so that it is mostly crust on the bottom with just some "bread" left on top. I shave some of the crust off so that it sits flat
Sweet cream butter
Gorgonzola
Real prosciutto, paper thin
a little green virgin olive oil over the top
in a hot oven for a bit
top with fresh basil
Sometimes I will add good olives sliced very thin before heating when I can find decent olives.

I used to make it when I was a chef for a bistro, for my lunch... they added it to the menu because people kept asking for it while I ate it with a hot cup of "Red-eye" black.
That is three parts black French roast, or whatever your strongest is, and one part espresso.
And my sauceless shaved red cole slaw with pine nuts. Also, later added to the menu.
Another restaurant added my Muffallatta recipe to their menu, it is still served today.
Edit:
They use yellow raisins in that cole slaw (its just a salad really, but I think of it as a sauceless cole slaw), but I used chopped dried cranberries for the fruit... it was much better my way.

It's funny, I can't afford to cook for myself like I used to professionally any more. Not since losing my job... not really funny I guess.
This week, we are going through the kitchen and getting rid of all my stuff. It is very hard.
I just can't cook any more.

"stuff" can't you teach someone - "how to"? someone in your family - your kids? (not sure how old)

I just can't anymore. Too painful. I can't sit that long any more.
My son loves to cook, does with my mom. He has his own toy kitchen, it is huge.

that sandwich looks good....and I'm not that much of a sandwich person either.


oh and can you send me the turkey baster please?

I have a couple. I'll see which one my mom chooses and will send you the other.
If she does not choose it, I'll mail you a metal one that also injects into meat.

No way! You're kidding me. Really?

I don't need a diploma to use that metal one do I?

No. You'll do fine if mom does not take it.

As for the sammich sky, with it being open-faced, a lot of people ate it with a fork and knife like some do pizza. It's kinda' like one.
