Bacon Faces

Last night I cooked a ton of bacon for a breakfast at our church which we had this morning.  As each piece was done, I laid it on a piece of newspaper to drain.  It felt so WRONG to lay the pieces of cooked meat on the faces of the local realtors.

It sure was a good idea to precook the meat though – last time I did it all in the morning and it took forever, created a huge mess and left me sweating and smelling like a slab of bacon all morning.  This way, I just had to pop it into the oven to warm. 

Usually I don’t eat ANY breakfast {yes, this drives Mr. and almost everyone else in the world batty} – but somehow having a HUGE delicious breakfast {including chocolate chip pancakes, applesauce, muffins and quiche} feels so RIGHT.

Do you eat breakfast?

  1. Sounds really yummy, your breakfast!
    During the week I don´t eat breakfast either. Just on Sunday´s.
    But then it´s just cereal or some buns. A big breakfast is something I´ve never made. I would rather sleep longer... :)

  2. I usually eat something for breakfast even if it's just a granola bar. And I am definitely a fan of chocolate chip pancakes!

  4. My Sweetie must have a proper breakfast every morning. I wasn't so good about breakfast for a good part of my single life until I got a little older. Now we have one of the following:

    * a boiled egg and a piece of toast
    * a poached egg on fried mashed potatoes with a couple of rashers of bacon
    * an egg over easy with pan fries, tomato slice and 2 rashers of bacon
    * roast beef hash with poached eggs on top ... drool
    * scrambled eggs and toast
    * Scots oats supplemented with Chia seed, hemp hearts and ground flax (very filling)
    * scones (though rarely)
    * puff apple pancake
    * rarely, paprika blintzes
    * buttermilk pancakes ... a real comfort food
    * pumpkin/bran/oatmeal muffins

    for some of our more common breakfast/brunches!

    When I was single, I'd buy a pound of bacon, fry it all up and freeze it so I could take out one or two slices at a time ... so I wouldn't stink up my house AND to save the extra time. Worked like a charm ... so long as one used it up within a month or so!

  5. Usually only at the weekend. I spend so much time trying to get Toots to eat during the week I tend to forget about myself:)

    Now if I were to be offered chocolate chip pancakes, muffins and bacon that would be a different story. Somehow a bowl of cereal just isn't that appealing any more.

    MMMM your breakfast sounds delicious! What a great idea about the bacon too...although a pic of you all sweaty and greasy and smelling like bacon..would have been VERY entertaining.LOL
