Finally got around to making Hollandaise sauce using Koko's method.
Simple and fast. When we go out for breakfast my wife will always get
eggs Benedict if available. A local place makes them as well as
variations with sausage or corned beef hash. Today I made my own.

Bay's English muffins, Nodine's Canadian bacon, local eggs, Koco's
Hollandaise sauce. Accompanied by Cea's Kona coffee. Made for a nice
meal to start the day.

I had variation of eggs Benedict for brunch in a restaurant a few years
back. They had smoked salmon instead of ham. I had some doubts about
the salmon with eggs and Hollandaise but I ordered them anyway because I
like smoked salmon enough that it was worth the risk. They were great.

I've had Nodine's Canadian bacon....good stuff.

I looked in my grocery store this morning, in the refrigerated
section, and they do sell the Bay's English muffins. Regular price,
they are cheaper than the other brand - Thomas.

Q: do you like them better? Worth buying vs Thomas English muffins?

Brunch today will be:
- Scrapple with bacon
- potato pancakes cooked in the scrapple grease
- 2-3 fried eggs, over easy
- 3 slices buttered toast
- one slice buttered toast with grape jam. (dessert)

I just started working on ours. I have some buttermilk sitting in a
measuring cup and am melting some butter. The dry ingredients are
measured into a bowl and stirred up. The waffle iron is on the counter.
As soon as my wife gets home I will beat the egg whites and get the
batter made and into the hot iron.

I have to start the bacon and make the coffee soon.

I've had eggs-B made with D-crab instead of CN bacon. ChefSteps
presents it like it's some kinda trendy hot new dish. I had it about
15 yrs ago in a small Thai resto called Sea Cloud (defunct) in
Pacifica, CA. Real Hollandaise sauce, too.

I often do that but my favorite is Trappist strawberry preserves. Goes

I prefer them. A little different texture, pre sliced. I like the way
they toast.

It would do me in. All I'd be able to do for hours is lay on the
sofa moaning in pain.

I started today an hour late (5:30 am) with my usual oatmeal. Morning
chores included laundry, unloading the dishwasher, moving some
pressure-treated 4x6's from one side of the house to the other, coiling
up the hoses we used when we seeded some grass earlier this fall and
putting them away in the shed, removing all of the big flowerpots from
the patio and dumping the dead dirt and plants at the back of the
property.

Then I made a pot of Ezo Gelin Corbasi:

1 cup red lentil
1/2 cup fine bulgur
1 medium onion, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce or paste (I used a couple big pinches of Aleppo pepper)
2 tablespoons olive oil
6-7 cups water
Salt to taste
Garnish: dried mint, hot pepper flakes, ground sumac

Sautee onions in olive oil. Add tomato paste and stir to break it up.
Add water, lentils, bulgur, salt, and hot pepper stuff. Bring it to a
boil, then simmer until lentils are disintegrated (an hour, or so).

Garnish at will. The tartness of the ground sumac offsets the
otherwise bland flavor. The soup mainly tastes of wheat. Other
recipes I've seen also use garlic and/or cumin, and sub rice for
some or all of the bulgur. I like the simplicity of this one.

Probably too carby for a lot of folks, but I find it very satisfying.
I eat it with yogurt, either with some cumin sprinkled on, or with
some shredded cucumber in it.

Once it cools it sets up. When I re-heat a portion (it'll make lunches
all week) I add water: about 2:1 soup to water.

Sounds great to me, you had me at Hollandaise sauce...

This is my favourite breakfast dish with Hollandaise sauce, I make it
maybe twice a year because it is so time consuming:

That's quite close to my favourite breakfast dish with hollandaise, I
posted the link just above in reply to Ed. Salmon, eggs and
hollandaise definitely works well together...

mmm...
I've never tried grape jam, though.

Today is shaping up to be a brunch day here too, I will be out and I
might get some fish and chips and/or seafood chowder from one of my
favourite places at a small fishing port.

You don't make coffee first thing after getting out of bed?!?

Nope. Should I?
Most mornings I get up and have some cereal or porridge and then I make
myself a latte. On Sundays I cook brunch for my wife when she gets home
from church and I make a pot of coffee for that.

I am thinking Dungeness Crab <?>
For the record, the stuff sold as Canadian bacon is a smoked product and
as far I can figure, the stuff sold in the US as Canadian bacon is like
our peamealbacon, or it can be a cured and smoked product that most
Canadians know nothing about.

I guess not if you can even think to ask that question

I don't sleep that well, so coffee (aside from thoroughly enjoying it)
helps get me going in the morning.

A little disappointed in my latest batch of beans though, I buy the
same 'house blend' from a certain shop, but this batch appears to have
been roasted a little too much... most all of the subtleties in
flavour normally there are not present.

Coffee first for me - then breakfast or brunch. 99.9% of the time, I
make double lattes with extra cream.

Those are the English muffins I noticed in the refrigerated section
after a recent discussion here. Yeah, I think they're supposed to be
kept in the fridge.

Product is baked daily. Keeps refrigerated for up to 45 days, or store in
the freezer for up to 6 months.

Not everyone does. It's not that I don't like coffee, it's just that
after years of doing the cup of coffee before work routine I figured out
I don't need a caffeine jolt. I'm perfectly capable of getting dressed
and doing things without first having a cup of coffee.

I do keep coffee on hand. Nothing fancy or expensive. I couldn't tell
you who picked and ground the beans. My SO likes coffee in the morning.
He's the only reason I still own a coffee maker.

You probably have the right approach there, I have a physical and/or
psychological addiction to coffee. I do *love* the taste of decent
coffee, though. I can't imagine any better way to start the day (well,
I *can* think of other things, but not appropriate for here

I remember my first cup of coffee at age 9. It might have been instant
coffee, but it was love from the first sip. From that first cup, the
rest is history for me.

I was raised in a WASP environment where most people drank tea. Coffee
in that part of the world in the 1950s was not very good. My best friend
was German and his family usually had coffee. When he moved away I
hooked up with a couple other guys, one Czech and the other Dutch, and
their mothers used to make nice strong coffee. I have coffee at least
once a day and have tea only a couple times a year.

Note: Ignore the high price on that page. I paid 3-4 dollars for a
pound at the grocery store last week. Regular price not sale.

It was the same in Australia (and America from what I have read). What
coffee was available (being instant) was beyond terrible by today's
standards. Australia was primarily a tea drinking nation back then. It
was probably some time during the 1990's that things changed
significantly here. Yes, we had Greeks and Italians running cafes with
good coffee, but they were the exception to the rule.

I haven't drunk as much tea lately compared to what I used to. I
should do something about that.

Ditto. But coffee isn't one of those things high on my list of
priorities. I do drink coffee when I go out to eat breakfast. That
doesn't happen very often. I do not require it before or while I eat
the first meal of the day.

I didn't start drinking coffee until I was in my 20's. I always loved
the smell of coffee, though. It's too bad even really "good" coffee
doesn't taste like it smells when you first open a bag or a can.

I have never liked lattes or sugar or cream in coffee. When I drink
coffee I drink it black.

I'm a conformed coffee addict, I started when I was 20 and started
working 3rd shift in the donut shop six nights a week! I started
drinking it with 1/2 and 1/2 and a tsp and a half in a cup, and drank
it with cream and sugar for years. Then a year or three ago I decided
to eschew the cream and sugar and now I drink my hot strong Sumatran
black!

I wouldn't pay 3-4 cents for scrapple with Bacon.

I was drinking 2-3 cups of coffee every morning for the past 40 years,
until I was told I had severe acid reflux and coffee was causing it.
So I stopped cold turkey, and started drinking de-caf green tea.

It took me approximately one day to get used to the change.

My husband (who gets up 2 hours before me) makes a pot of coffee every
morning and drinks the whole thing. Then he might make another pot.
These days, I can't imagine being able to drink that much coffee.

And it never will, either. Any beans or ground beans will be stale
before it even hits the supermarket shelves.

I drink black coffee occasionally, but prefer lattes.
