Warning! People cooking!

Cook a meal!

And I don’t mean pull something out of the freezer, read the instructions, and pop it in the microwave.

I’m talking about making something. Something basic.

Like a good breakfast.

I learned to cook in self-defense. Unlike Julie who could give Bobby Flay a run for his money, I’ve had a spouse who burnt water and a mom who had no clue what salt and pepper was. So, I learned.

I got a book and started there.

I talked to chefs, cooks, people who knew their way around a kitchen.

I listened when Julie said, “This is a saltshaker. . .”

This is Life 101 stuff, and a lot of people can’t do it. Ot maybe they’re afraid to try!

Here’s a simple one.

A little something that here in America, we call Breakfast (yes with a capitol B)0.

You go to the store. You buy meat. You buy sausage. Milk. Potatoes. Whatever you need.

You fry up the sausage. Cook well. you don’t want to eat pork rare, even medium. Cook it well thru and thru.

You peel the potatoes, or better yet just wash them well with the skins still on so you keep all the vitamins. Cube or shred them so you can make hash browns. Toss in a diced or shredded onion and maybe a bell pepper. Put them in a skillet, add some oil, salt, pepper, maybe some garlic salt, and fry until done. Stir often.

How do you know when they’re done? The potatoes don’t crunch when you bite into them. And if they’re a little brown, don’t sweat it. Carbon is good for you.

Fry up a couple of eggs. Sunnyside up. Over easy. Scrambled. All the same. sprinkle a little salt and pepper on them. As long as the eggs aren’t a swamp, or you could play tennis with them, they’re good.

Put it all on a plate.

And if you fill really motivated, make yourself some toast. Highly recommend having some jam or honey to put on it.

Pour yourself some coffee.

Like green chili, hot sauce, or salsa? Remember to buy some at the store.

And enjoy because you made it.

Afterall. It is Breakfast!

And you’d be surprised how many people can’t do something so simple.
