• The well-heeled Chef, Part 2

  
  

  I just finished an awesome breakfast Greyfox-style, and I’m gonna blog about it, assuming I don’t pass out from the blood sugar spike first.

  
  

  Over the past few months, I have been doing a lot of skillet meals for my family and myself.  Starting with a scrambled egg base, I add everything from potatoes to pepper jack, from home fries to jalapenos.  It is challenging when I cook for all of us, since we have different tastes.  Kathy loves lots of jalapenos, I’m okay with a few, and Doug (her adult son who lives with us) won’t touch them.  Ditto with onions.  And Doug and I eat the hell out of potatoes, while they are verboten to Kathy due to her diet.  But I usually manage to come up with some compromise we can all live with–I’m not a double Libra for nothing.  But this morning, I outdid myself.

  
  

  Doug went to bed around ten am, shortly before Kathy (BTW, that’s SuSu to xangans) got up and nuked herself one of her home-made healthful muffins, so I was on my own.  So I nuked a medium spud, to be sliced and browned in olive oil.  Then I turned down the heat and added some diced onions.  When they were translucent, I added the scrambled egg mixture (three eggs with one yolk removed, and a bunch of nuked bacon with the fattier pieces removed–gotta watch that cholesterol–and gave the rejected stuff to the dog).  When the eggs were just about done, I added a small handful of medium cheddar cheese, diced small to melt.  Viola!  Seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, parsley, and celery salt and served on a warmed plate, along with lots of black 100% Columbian coffee and a half liter of orange juice.  Yum!

  
  

  Finished off with a grand total of 26 assorted tablets, capsules and caplets for dessert. Not so yum. 

  
  

  And my apologies to any of you who got a heart attack and/or gained three pounds just by reading this.

  
  

  PS–or should that be BS ?(Blog Script)–I’m still wearing the Mak, but I will leave it at home if I go to the post office today.  But I am carrying an additional knife, one of the 592 that came in the mail the other day.
