Scrambled eggs, bacon, canned butter-me-not biscuits, and fruit. ---

When strawberries and blueberries were on sale, I diced up the strawberries and frozen all of the berries. Today I made fresh strawberry/blueberry muffins. Delicious. ---

**ThelmaLou** : I am SO GOING TO TRY THAT. Question #1: Is the point to fry the yolk hard in the egg? Question #2: If so, why not scramble the egg before adding it to the bacon? Question #3: Can I put the two bread slices in the oven to warm/toast, and can I shred a little sharp cheddar on one slice to melt? ---

This weekend, the Saturday breakfast was the memorable one. I made Ukulele Lady one strip of thick-cut bacon, a soft-boiled egg served in a lovely egg cup we bought in Castiglione, Sicily, and a dry piece of wholegrain toast. I had a little leftover grilled rib steak, so I cut it into small pieces and warmed it in a pan with the grease from the wife’s bacon. Then I turned up the heat, scrambled three eggs, and cooked them with the steak. I served that to myself with a piece of buttered rye toast and a small section of leftover _Gratin Savoyard_ I’d made earlier in the week. And a pot of black coffee. And the dogs got to clean the plates. Wesley got the last pieces of steak and Belle got the eggs. ---

Sunday breakfast was a fresh onion bagel with green-olive-pimiento-cream cheese, and a pot of black coffee. Ukulele Lady had whatever the hell crap she makes for herself when I don’t cook for her. Quinoa salad or boiled kale or something. ---

Sunday breakfast was a ham and salad roll and a can of pepsi max walking round a trash and treasure market. ---

The yolk can be jelly-like, or all the way to hard. You just don’t want it dripping out of the sandwich. 2. Ah, Grasshopper…you ask a profound question… scrambling seems so tame, so humble, almost a kind of defeat, a concession to the niceties (or necessities) of civilization. Cracking the egg and plopping the whole thing onto the raft of almost-done bacon is a bold, defiant, post-modern act. A statement. You’re saying to the white and the yolk, “You’re on your own! There’s no hiding in each other! Deal with it!” Alternatively, try scrambling and see what you think. \<_shrug_\> 1. By all means, toast the bread and get it ready. You may add cheese; however, I don’t, as I like my bacon-egg entity neat. With a touch of mayo. ---

Nothing. Flew out of the house to make early mass. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sunday-breakfast/735031.md?page=1)
