"Breakfast"

     Breakfast. The most wonderful part of the day. Special breakfast. Even more wondrous. You take the time to pull out all the ingredients that you've been saving for a special family breakfast, just like this one will be. The The pitter patter of little feet and sounds of Mama, getting ready in the other room, are perfect background noise for the assemblage of coffee. The gurgling drip, drip, drip, lets me know that golden elixir is on it's way. 


     1. BACON
  Cut into small squares and grilled to perfect crispy flavor bombs.


     2. MASA HARINA
  For you white folks out there, Masa Harina, is a ground corn flour that is used to make handmade tortillas from Heaven. Mix with warm water and a pinch of salt, till dough is light and springy. Should not be sticky or crumbly. Roll into 2" balls, flatten in wax paper, and fry till golden brown, in grease from bacon.


     3. HUEVOS
  Do not break yokes! Fry eggs in left over bacon grease, sunny side up, use lid to hold in heat and help cook the tops, but don't overcook the yokes! Leave them runny.


     4. CHEESE
  Grate fresh sharp cheddar.


     5. ASSEMBLE
  News Team Assemble! Sorry...place two lovingly handmade tortillas on plate, sprinkle bacon crumbles on tortillas, place unbroken yoked eggs on top of bacon, sprinkle cheese, and garnish with Ro Tel salsa. Doug, I know you know what that is. And, viola!




     Except, the kid was screaming, my wife kept telling me she was going to be late, and our teenager had finished off all the salsa the day before. But, normally, this breakfast will fix almost anything that's wrong in the house. And everyone did sit, in silence, eating, happily, for at least three minutes.
