How about a quick cooking post. Never mind why; I’ve had kind of a stupid day, but I will not burden my readers with that right now (no promises for the future).
Steven suggested sending out for food, but I REALLY wanted to cook something. But something not too long and involved, because I was hungry and it was already late. We had some bacon (somebody gave Steven a coupon). I suggested bacon and eggs. We did not have much bread for toast. Oh dear. I was not up for a run to the store. I looked in the refrigerator for inspiration. I saw some hot dog buns. And grape tomatoes. Well!
“I’ll cook some bacon, toast a couple of hot dog buns, cook eggs with broken yokes and make sammiches,” I said. “With tomatoes.”
Steven readily agreed. He even helped me keep an eye on the bacon while it cooked. Why does bacon take so damn long to cook, anyways? I put mayonnaise on the buns when they were toasted. I love mayonnaise.
Our BET (Bacon, Egg, Tomato) Sammiches were delicious. And I was SO pleased with myself that we did not send out for food. Of course I love to support the local economy and we have some delightful restaurants that deliver. However, sometimes one must save money and consume fewer calories (bacon and mayonnaise notwithstanding).
Now we are on the movie-viewing portion of our evening. We are going to watch Young Frankenstein. We would have watched it soon anyways, as a favorite Halloween movie. Sadly, we watch it tonight in tribute to the recently departed Gene Wilder. What a comic genius. Really, not a bad end to my Saturday. Hope to see you all on Wrist to Forehead Sunday.
