if it's sunday.....AND you have chickens

it must mean eggies of one sort or another

no?
bernie loves to cook sunday breakfast

he has been cooking our sunday breakfast for 31 years now
( am i REALLY that old? or....... was i really that YOUNG???)

now in 31 years you get to try a LOT of different sort of 'breakfast' type foods

i would be content with a chicken leg but not bernie

he swears it must be 'breakfast food'

( what the hell is that? i thought breakfast was BREAK FAST inother words, the first meal in over 12 hours?????? your stomach doesn't care what is put in it at that point .....raw shoe leather would work.....just as long as SOMETHING is in there)

ok so we will fast forward to chickens.....
very fresh chicken EGGS
and my new poacher
(no not as in taking deer or rabbit out of season or off a private estate)
an EGG poacher!!!!!!!!
finally after all these years i got one!!!!!!

it's got little removeable cups and it is actually big enough for the orpington eggs
PLUS I got it at the outlets at a discount! it was 7.99 reduced to 5.99!!!!!
so naturally i am very happy about that

i butter the little cups
and sprinkle some dill weed and/or cheese
and add the eggies and in about 3 minutes turn them out on buttered toast

so bernie is doing the toast and now after all these years.....I AM DOING THE EGGIES!!!!!!!

but that got me to thinking.....
what if ......in addition to the cheese etc.....what if i chop a bit of ham into the little cups and then add the eggies.....
or how about that sweet roasted red pepper that i canned this past summer?

i see a ton of poached egg ideas coming out of my little 5.99 poacher......

i may have to get more chickens!
