Breakfast for Dinner?!

Sometimes, eating big dinner can get a little boring and rutined. Yes, green beans are healthy and taste good, along with corn, corn bread, neckbones, and fried apples, but there is a time when those food items need a break from the digestive track. Last Sunday's dinner became Sunday's breakfast and my best friend and I made it ourselves. We looked in the cabinet for Bisquick and from there, we were on a roll! He did not know how to make pancakes, so of course I had to guide him, but after the first one, he became a professional. In fact, I was surprised how fluffy and golden brown be made them! I was resonsible for the eggs, which bought back memories. I remember the first time I cracked an egg - I was four years old in the kitchen with my mom - and I got some of the shell in the yolk. (Gross, right?) Luckily my mom was there and got them out. I have to admit that my egg cracking skills have increased over the years and that is something that I am proud of. Anyway, after cracking the eggs and beating them a little bit, I added a little bit of milk in order to make them a little lighter and fluffier. After pouring them into the skillet, I waited for a few minutes and moved them around with my skillet so they would not stick and burn. In no time they were done and I was off to make the bacon, but not just any old bacon, pork bacon. I fried that on the skillet too, making sure not to cook it too hard or too light but just right so it could have the equal amount of juicy goodness. Now it was time for the hash browns. I heated the oven to about 400 degrees, placed them on the pan, and after the beep, placed them inside the oven to warm. My best friend and I placed the already cooked food on plates and waited on the couch for about ten minutes. We get up from the couch, happy to know that the hash browns were done, and let them cool. We got us a plate from the cabinet and fixed our plates. Luckily, there was some apple juice in the refigirator that calmed our thirst. Next time you don't feel like really cooking, just pull out the eggs and start scrambling!
