How To Eat This Meal

I wasn’t going to post about this meal as it’s just a basic breakfast that all of you know how to prepare, but then it occurred to me that, while you may have eaten it many times, you may not know how to eat it properly – remember I’m the egg guy.  The dish is two sunny-side-up eggs with some Tabasco Jalapeno Sauce, two slices of bacon (Benton's of course), two slices of dry toast – use butter if you like.  
 

The main challenge in eating this meal is bite size control so that at the end, everything comes out even.  The goal is to get a bite of egg, toast, and bacon in each mouthful, so I’ve divided the meal in to two phases.

For phase one, allocate one piece of bacon and toast and the egg yolks.  Puncture the yolk slightly with your fork and gently dunk the toast into it being careful not to make it flow out onto the white.  You can keep the toast whole or break off a bite sized piece.  Put this bite into your mouth and bite off some bacon, chew all together, and swallow.  Repeat this process with both eggs until you have two egg whites with some harder yolk, and one piece each of toast and bacon.

Now it’s time to move into phase two which begins by cutting the remaining egg using a crosshatch cutting method, then mixing well to ensure even distribution of the remaining yolk.  Now merely take a bite each of egg, bacon, and toast but not chewing until they are all in your mouth.  Repeat this process until the egg is gone, making sure you still have one bite each of toast and bacon.  Use the last piece of toast to swirl around the plate and sop up any remaining egg then eat with the last bite of bacon.  Depending upon how messily you ate the egg, you may need to save two bites of toast and bacon for this final step.

This same process can be utilized with just one of each or two of any of them, but bite size control becomes more difficult, especially if you have two eggs and only one toast, which may be impossible unless the egg yolks are over cooked.

We can’t always take ourselves too seriously :-).

When we built our house Bev was one who liked long soaking baths and she made sure she got a big whirlpool tub in which to do it.  When the granddaughters come, they also like to take advantage of it and here's a shot from earlier in the week.

A while back Dave Myers (Big Daddy dave) sent me some pictures from Clark Little titled Waves Of Hawaii.  Not being into photography, I'd never heard of him but I'm absolutely impressed with these photos and thought you might be as well - check them out at this link.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
