Breakfast

[country gent]

Today woke up (always a good thing there) and decided to fix the breakfast from the movie The Cowboys with John Wayne. Now were burning Daylight.

[Walks]

So just biscuits ? And bacon ?

[lightman]

Bacon, eggs and toast here. Watching old westerns all day and keeping a fire going.

Did you make gravy with the grease?

I am afraid that Bruce Dern plays a bad guy just too well. I have never liked him for some reason. Anybody who would allow their character to murder (back shoot) any character that John Wayne plays in is just not worthy of my respect!

Good breakfast however!

Breakfast is one of my 3 favorite meals.

If I do it correctly, there are just enough eggs to make it thru breakfast........but the biscuits and bacon are good for a couple more snacks throughout the day........

When we were all home Mom would joke breakfast came in premeasured packages, A dozen eggs a lb of bacon loaf of bread.

[Hogtamer]

smoked doves left over from last night with a couple of cheesy scrambled eggs.

I enjoy breakfast, but not until after ten. I like to get most of the farm chores done first, so I can relax and enjoy it. Lots of fresh eggs fried in bacon grease.

I read where Bruce Dern believed that role killed his career and he was always "the guy who shot John Wayne in the back" from then on. I agree, he is a good villain but he's done some non villain roles as well, notably, a short, but hugely important part of All the Pretty Horses as the judge at the end. He was also the central character in an indy movie called Nebraska that was kind of interesting.

I remember when I was young, I didn't really think The Cowboys was that great, now, after some years, life experience and being a father, I'd rate it as one of Wayne's very best, Right behind True Grit, The Shootist and The Searchers.

You guys are making my cup of coffee and container of low fat yogurt look pretty prissy! LOL

But - I do remember my Mom cooking us bacon and eggs in a large cast iron pan that had been well seasoned by years of use . . . homemade buttered biscuits and honey . . . . its just didn't get any better . long before we had all these doctors who don't want a person to eat anything!

When I visited my aunt down in southern Indiana - she would always put on the dog for breakfast - thick bacon, eggs fried up in the bacon grease, homemade biscuits with lots of good red eye gravy and if she had it, a thick slice of "old ham" - took me a while to get used to it as it was so salty but I never left the table hungry! Good memories - all of them.

We put up 50 pounds of bratwurst (elk/ pig)the other night, and the extra bits of sausage from cleaning out the stuffer went into the fridge.

Going to use that up in some biscuits and gravy this morning.

Breakfast is generally, a large potato microwave cooked, cubed, then lightly browned in bacon grease, with small cut bacon or sausage, onion, and topped with shredded cheddar cheese, topped with 3 large eggs over-easy. This makes for a good breakfast that will stay with you for a while!

We cut the bacon slices into small pieces, lightly brown and store in refrigerator, the breakfast sausage is also lightly browned and stored. It really speeds up breakfast if the meats are already precooked and on standby. The bacon grease is saved for frying eggs, or a splash in green beans when pan frying.....bacon grease is an essential at our house! memtb

Chunked potatoes, sliced sweet onion, sliced Hillshire smoked sausage, fresh jalapeno peppers, salt and pepper, fried in olive oil.
Serve with some La Victoria salsa brava. Got to stay with it and turn it every few minutes. Olive oil rather than vegetable oil really enhances the taste.

A can of Guinness?

Breakfast of champions right there.
