Breakfast Anyone?

My buddies at Theme Thursday have decided to interpret "breakfast" this week.  Well, last summer I shared with readers how I prepare breakfast when me and the guys go fishing.  I thought I'd repeat it for my TT buds today.  

Keep in mind: it's a guy thing...

If cholesterol be the food of love, stick a fork in me, turn me over and call me Eros.

This high caloric, cholesterol-laden concoction is swimming in fat, grease and guilt but, nom nom nom, it is sooo good.

Nonamedufus' Specials have become a yearly tradition with me and my fishin’ buddies. Each June several of us traipse into the wilds of the “near North” of Ontario to Lake Temagami once bass season opens. We tell our wives we’re roughin’ it and we kick back at a place called Loon Lodge and watch satellite TV, drink beer, eat huge Lodge-prepared dinners, enjoy the sun and swat at the odd black fly. Oh, yeah, sometimes we actually fish.

Provisions for our fishing folly are procured ahead of time at the grocery, liquor and beer stores in North Bay about an hour away from Lake Temagami. The local economy (particularly the beer store) gets a considerable boost from 4 guys headed out for 8 days on the lake. Now the dinners are provided by the Lodge. So that leaves 2 other meals and snacks that the guys are responsible for. Deli meats, pickled eggs, chips, pretzels and hot dogs are the usual staples for lunch and snacks. But breakfast is another matter entirely.

In the late of the evening - well, actually, long before dinner - after a long, hard day out on the lake the guys break out the beer and the booze, sit back and shoot the breeze about the one that got away or deride the one guy who didn’t catch anything. We’re close like that – hey, two of these guys are my brothers. With a break for dinner, the discussing – and the drinking – continues until the moon rises and the call of the loon beckons us to our beds.

In the morning, it’s sometimes difficult to get moving for some reason. Here’s where the Nonamedufus' Specials come into play. The bread, the grease and the cholesterol counteracts the effects of the booze and simply soaks it up. A side of tomato juice is the perfect accompanying breakfast beverage, spiked or au natural. Of course after each of us eating two of these there’s a rush to see who can get to the bathroom first. But once our business is done, we’re fresh, revived and ready to face another beer, er, ah, day!

Here’s how you can make your own Nonamedufus' Specials:
-turn stove burner to #3
- melt, butter, margarine or cooking spray in pan
- cook bacon (2 strips per special) (low sodium back bacon can be substituted by wusses)
- cook eggs easy-over in same pan using grease from bacon
- place slice of cheddar cheese on egg when egg is flipped and let melt
- cut and toast English muffins
- add salt and pepper while eggs cooking
- place 2 slices of bacon and 1 egg with cheese on open English muffin
- put other half of English muffin on top
- voila, a feast fit for a king size hangover
- can be served with a side of fried potatoes (also cooked in bacon grease) and a glass of orange or tomato juice

Happy eating!

I think it is what they call around these parts a "belly-buster"

Alan: Nothing better to get your day started!
Donnie said…
Those look delicious. Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of trying to avoid such foods. I don't want to have to "pay" for that stuff all at once. Sure does look tasty as hell though!!!
nonamedufus said…
Don: Sometimes the worst things for you just taste the best!
Me-Me King said…
There's something about breakfast foods which cannot be denied. The smell of bacon frying, the sound of eggs cracking...damn, I'm hungry!
Ed & Jeanne said…
Fresh fish? Yum.
nonamedufus said…
VE: Actually the fish is pretty good, if we're lucky enough to catch some. Battered and deep fried for dinner...yum.
nonamedufus said…
Me-Me: It's a fun week. Been doing the fishin' trip for about 10 years now. Lotsa fun.

"If cholesterol be the food of love, stick a fork in me, turn me over and call me Eros." Indeed.

Gotta say, it sounds good. Horribly unhealthy, but good.

My entry is up here.
nonamedufus said…
PattiKen: It's a nice change. Couldn't eat this every day!
Brian Miller said…
i will be carrying around the extra weight all day from reading these...
nonamedufus said…
Brian: At least you're not carrying the extra weight from eating them.
Christine H. said…
I'll take two...and no wussy stuff! And some hot sauce, please.
nonamedufus said…
Christine H: Now you're talking! Coming up.

Kelly said…
That looks disgusting and I KNOW it tastes like heaven. Just like the tacos from Jack-in-the-Box. You don't want to look too closely at them but they sure taste great!
nonamedufus said…
RA: Lunch? You bet! We might even do some fishing.
nonamedufus said…
Hissyfits: They're great. Who says men can't cook! Thanks for dropping by. I'm happy Me-Me sent you my way.
nonamedufus said…

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
