Yesterday I grated some potatoes and made hashbrowns, two each over-easy eggs, and four each rashers of bacon. [Community Coffee Dark Roast](http://www.communitycoffee.com/products/coffee/premium-ground/32-oz.-ground-dark-roast) to drink. (Mrs. L.A. also had a glass of milk.) Today was a lazy day – so lazy it was after 1100 before I cooked breakfast. We had four each Hormel Little Sizzlers breakfast links, two each over-easy eggs, and one each large sourdough slice cut in half and toasted, with strawberry jam. And of course, CCDR to drink. I’d _like_ to have the occasional Full English Breakfast, but The Wife would be appalled. Also, Ye Olde King’s Head is 1,200 miles away. - Fried eggs should not be hard. The whites should by _just_ set or _almost_ set, and the yolks should be runny. ---

We went to a local place called “First Watch” I had eggs over very easy and a ham steak with house baked whole wheat toast. The Incomparable Sunflower had fruit crepes with raspberry yogurt. I drank French Roast coffee and Sunflower drank a [shudder] Diet Coke [/shudder] ---

Two-egg omelet with steamed fresh spinach, chopped bacon and Jack cheese. Slice of rye toast with light butter. Fresh French Roast coffee made with whole beans ground moments before brewing from [SLO-Roasted Coffee Company](http://www.sloroasted.com/), where I’ve been buying beans since they first started up more than thirty years ago.

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > - Fried eggs should not be hard. The whites should by _just_ set or _almost_ set, and the yolks should be runny. Oh fuck no. _Proper_ fried eggs are damn near vulcanized. Not a hint of liquidity _anywhere_. You should be able to pick the whole thing up by the edge of the white and Frisbee it across the room onto your plate. Runny eggs in any form are and Abomination Unto Nuggan. ---

Somewhat later, leftover fried green tomatoes with the heirloom tomatoes we harvested from the garden before the impending first frost. That crispy egg thing is interesting. I’ve done something like this that you might want to try. Put three or four half-strips of bacon in the pan right next to each other (parallel and almost touching) and partially cook them. Then break your egg over all, nudging the white toward the center so it doesn’t spread too far, and fry the hell out of it. The egg crispiness will surround and contain the bacon until they all become one crispy, salty entity. Good on a sandwich (with mayonnaise). ---
