Christmas Breakfast?

If Lin is here, I like to make some special brunch, but it's never the same from year to year. This year Lin is visiting her family in Oklahoma, so I didn't have anything special planned. In fact, I had planned to sleep most of the day (since I was working through Christmas Eve) but found myself unable to fall asleep, so I got up and fixed breakfast. A couple weeks ago I picked what I thought were all the green tomatoes from our still-robust plants. Then we had some very cold nights which killed the plants. While I was outside feeding the dog this morning, I was able to see through the withered and desiccated foliage to some big plump green tomatoes which had previously been hidden, so I pulled them off and brought them inside. Breakfast was fried green tomatoes with a thin chorizo-carrot mayo[1], sunny-side up eggs, multi-grain toast, an amagaki persimmon[2], and coffee with eggnog. Bob [1] Homemade mayo using chorizo grease as part of the fat, and thinned with fresh carrot juice. [2] Amagaki persimmons are a specialty fruit of this region, and possibly the best persimmons for eating out of hand. http://produceexpress.net/products/p...n-amagaki.html |
