better than bk, mickey d's, sonic, all of that crap

it has taken me quite sometime to break mike of the fast food breakfast habit. and he has not totally broken the habit. i hate it. why? because it is disgusting, expensive, and eggs are so damn easy to make it is just stupid. and if you eat eggs at home, at least you know it is an ACTUAL egg. andrea sent me another breakfast recipe. i'm making it tomorrow. trust this woman, people, she is mother of two children under 4 (soon to be mother of three), wife, and works part time. she is always calm, cool, and collected when i see her. she must be doing something right. this is another recipe that you can add and substitute as you please. enjoy!

make your man a weekend breakfast on a weekday morning
andrea makes a big pan of it the night before and it makes breakfast for the whole week. she didn't measure anything and you can use your own amounts to make the amount you wanna keep in the fridge.
Onion (sliced)Red potatoes
(cubed)Ham steak or one of those cooked ham chunks (cubed)
oil (I had some bacon grease I threw in the pan)
garlic
any combo of spices you desire and don't be shy about the amounts, she uses garlic powder, paprika, pepper, and lemon pepper seasoning
saute the onion and garlic in oil or bacon grease until almost soft - add potatoes and spices, mix well-add a little water to soften - cover and cook on medium heat for awhile until the potatoes cook through - stir frequently to prevent the potato skins from burning -this part could take some time depending on the size of potato cubes-add cubed ham to pan and cover, stirring frequently
at this point andrea usually puts some on a plate, tops with shredded cheese and sour cream and have dinner for that night.
the next morning is the real treat though. heat ham and potatoes mixture, top with a fried egg and a couple dashes of tabasco.

fresh mozzarella, changes, mulberries, and additions

it's monday morning and hendrix woke up early, so i am feeling especially random.
1. i am absolutely obsessed with fresh mozzarella. on pizza. in a caprese salad. on roasted eggplant. cubed on rosemary skewers. whatever, however, and wherever it is. . .i want it.
