Breakfast for dinner

[BearBio]

Kinda sorta maybe..........

I'll do fried mush, home fries, biscuits & gravy, or chili-cheese omelet sometimes for dinner (NOT at the same time!), especially if I'm "batching it"

Hey Grandpa, what's for dinner?

We have breakfast for dinner every couple of weeks. I cook corned or roast beef hash the No. 8 cast iron skillet and cook eggs in a different skillet. Every now and then we'll have a pan of biscuits & sliced tomatoes too.

We do it at least once a week, it's cheap, easy to fix and easy cleanup. Bacon (of course), eggs either over easy or scrambled with goat cheese.

Some of my favorite breakfast dishes (in no particular order): homemade biscuits and gravy, biscuits with honey or blackstrap molasses, hash browns scattered and smothered, home fries cooked in duck fat, corned beef hash with eggs, blueberry pancakes (fresh berries only).

Creme brulee french toast, fresh sliced cantaloupe, fresh blackberries, grilled pineapple slices, steel cut oatmeal with honey, bagels, cream cheese and lox (best I ever had was in a little cafe in Chicago), and when I go to the beach, oysters on the half shell.

Oh...and Bloody Mary's. Anytime. Made with a heapin helpin of Frank's Buffalo Wing sauce. I even make Bloody Mary oyster shooters. Drop an oyster into a tall narrow glass, fill with Bloody Mary and put it in the freezer just till it gets slushy.

No pancakes or syrup, ever. I do often cook eggs for dinner. Sometimes omelettes but usually a frittata baked in a big iron skillet with mozzarella, bacon and whatever vegetables are handy.
Dinner for breakfast? Sure, I stayed home today to do some chores, so for breakfast at 5:30 a.m. I had a bowl of last night's chicken thighs with quinoa nicely accompanied by a frosty cold Guinness.

Heck Yes......

Funny...I just had a bowl of cherrios before I came upstairs to log on.
Well, a bit of cherrios poured over what little there was left of the raisin-bran.
I likes to mix it up.

I love to do it! I need to find some thicker cut bacon. I like the Smithyfield Hometown Original but it's a bit thin. If anyone can recommend a widely available thick cut bacon, I'm all ears.

A good bowl of cereal is good quick go to when the urge to eat NOW hits me!

About once a month Mom and I go to Cracker Barrel for brunch. She always gets the fried catfish while I get the sirloin and eggs. I always get a small bowl of cream gravy to dip the steak in.

I too like to play 'cereal roulette'. I will slither downstairs, late at night in an Ambien induced stupor and grab two or three boxes at random and see what I get.

I don't recommend Grape-Nuts & Boo-Berry.

That's borderline fiber overload

Pancakes...my Grandma's recipe...

Put in a mixing bowl
1/2 cup of milk
2 Tbs Melted Butter
1 egg
Beat lightly

Sift together in another bowl (I just stir with a fork, who uses a sifter?)
1 cup all purpose flour (see below)
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbs sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Add the dry to the wet all at once. Stir just enough to dampen the flour.

Add enough more milk to make the batter about as thick as heavy cream.

This is my life hack: Viscosity is key. I stir in a little of the additional milk and then dribble some drops of batter from the spoon on top of the batter in the bowl. If you can see the drops stay on the surface it's too thick. Keep adding milk slowly and repeat. If they disappear instantly it's too thin and you're screwed, no way to fix it. Just make them anyway. I like the drops to stay visible on the surface for a two (or maybe a three) count. 1..2..should be gone.

I always make them with a combination of white and whole wheat flour, 1/3 cup whole wheat and 2/3 cup white. It's listed as a variation in the book. But I think I mis-remembered that a lot and used 1/2 white and 1/2 whole wheat. Don't use all whole wheat - too bitter.

I use a teflon electric skillet at 350-375.

Now you're in "last meal" territory.

Jay find a meat shop with slab bacon have them slice it as thick as you like.

The best breakfast I ever had was at a British restaurant on an American air base in Germany several years back, it was their full English breakfast. Man that black pudding! SO good! I even thought about making my own from wild boar blood but thought I better not.

SWMBO decided she wanted to make omelettes tonight for dinner. Wasn't about to argue about that as I love eating breakfast food for dinner.
She whipped up a monster omelette with sausage (ground), ham, portobello mushrooms, onions, green pepper and american cheese then topped it with some Bob Evans sausage gravy.
Heart attack city but oh, was it good.

Thick sausage gravy over biscuits.
Squeal twice & dig in!

Fresh eggs scrambled soft, pork chops, hash browns, home made biscuits, real butter, genuine fig preserves, hot coffee and don't forget the sliced tomatoes.

I'd forgotten about fig preserves. I haven't had that nor kumquat jam since leaving Florida. Good stuff.

My mom still has a few Bama jelly jars.
