A Hearty Breakfast

So we received upwards of 16 inches of snow here yesterday. I've never seen anything quite like this. As you can see above, I had a great time yesterday. However,the fun was all over this morning. Below is what our cars looked like morning when I went out to begin clearing the snow off of and from around the cars so that we can actually get out sometime this week should we find the need. My car is on the right and was driven briefly on Saturday morning before most of the snow came. Julia's on the left has not been driven since Friday. The one nice part about working outside today is that we talked with almost all of our neighbors for the first time.


We recently received 5 lbs of DeRamus Family Hickory Smoked Country Cured Pork Sausage from Julia's uncle James. We've used it a couple of times so far, which I will try to blog about at some point, but not for breakfast yet. The preparation couldn't be easier. Simply poke some holes in the sausage with a fork and then cover it in a frying pan with an inch or so of water and let it cook on medium heat for a while. When it's done, slice it up as you wish and brown it a little bit. That's it.
I went with scrambled eggs and toast with mine while Julia enjoyed a poached egg, toast, and grapefruit.


I don't know how much I will be able to blog this week before Christmas so I may have to leave this up and taunt Justin for a little while longer with breakfast foods.

Seasons Greetings Loyal Reader

If you've held on long enough to actually see this, congratulations and thank you. Everywhere I've gone over the past few months, people keep asking, "When are you going to blog again?" Well, in reality it's just been my Mom and Julia's uncle James that have asked.

During the downtime, I've kept the chicken and rice counter accurate so you don't have to worry about that. I just really haven't been cooking much and not a whole lot that is interesting or new. I guess I sort of ran out of things in my repertoire and once I started keeping track of my chicken and rice intake, I wanted to prove that I do occasionally eat other things.

Anyway, be on the lookout for some new things here in the coming weeks. I can't promise it will be great but at least Justin will no longer be immediately taunted with the vision of ham, egg, and cheese toast.
