Sausage Gravy

Most of the time I skip breakfast meats and eggs in the mornings. I like an English muffin, a bagel or maybe just some cinnamon raisin bread toast with a little real butter. In the summer I might try a bowl of cold cereal, but in the winter I don’t really like the cereal.

For Christmas I bought a lot of extra foods that I don’t normally eat. I have the stuff to make sausage gravy and buttermilk biscuits on Christmas morning. I might cook a hash brown casserole, too. Just don’t know what to do about the eggs. I can’t make an omelet. Maybe just scrambled – with a little cheese.

Awesome Dinner

Thanks to my mom for cooking a most awesome Thanksgiving dinner today and having everyone come to her house. She did all the traditional foods, from a beautiful turkey to the best mashed potatoes in the world.

But my favorite was her sweet potato pie for dessert. I know most people like to cook pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, but in our family it is tradition to have sweet potato pie. That’s what my dear grandmother would fix, and my mother has carried on with that tradition. And I expect my sisters and I will, too.

Quick Bite

Where do you go when you know it is lunch time and you need to get something to eat – but you aren’t really all that hungry?

I am sick of hamburgers and needed to get something quick, so I decided to drive through Taco Bell. I got a couple of tacos and a tall cold drink and didn’t spend much cash. It hit the spot – a couple of tacos were all I needed.

We are surrounded by fast food restaurants, but most of them start to taste bland and boring. Still, a couple of tacos are better than having to get up early in the morning to cook and pack a hot lunch.
