Sunday Morning in the South

Good morning world.

I am engaged in what has become a fairly normal sunday morning for me. Because my lady wife is working weekends for the next couple of months, I am engaged in taking care of myself and the home. And in a new hobby of sorts. I have discovered a website that is the host for music that I have occasionally listened to on weekends on public radio. It is called "space music" and has been around for 25 or so years. Give a listen to it if you have an interest. It is http://hos.com. They produce a weekly show of ambient music of all genres. And I have found a tool to record streams from the internet so I save the programs for later listening.

I also spend some time at the pastime of creating breakfast and other meals during the day. Today, it was my take on the Mickey D's egg muffin delight. Other than the probable original ingredients, I feel it is better. Of course. For anyone of interest, I chop up a small amount of fresh onion, probably about 1/8 cup. I also chop 1 slice of canadian bacon. Because that is what I had in the ice box. If I had proscuito, I would have used it. Anyway, I toast 1 english muffin, after I split it with a fork of course. I beat 1 egg with about a tablespoon of milk and set it aside. Then in a small saute pan, I brown the bacon in EVOO for a minute or two before adding the onion. This is done at fairly high heat, stirring often and seasoning to taste. When the onions are translucent, I reduce the heat to medium and add the egg mixture and let it cook without stirring other than the original pass to incorporate all the ingredients. When it is mostly done, I flip it and mold the size to fit on a muffin by folding it in upon itself until fully cooked. I then place it on a buttered, toasted, english muffin. I add a little salsa to flavor it, and Voila. It was good. Enjoyed it with coffee and Activia yogurt. All this while listening to space music. What a good start for the day and the week. Santini, I will be accepting your invitation. Jimi, I will see about posting those recipes you mentioned.

Bye for now.

Cooking Blog

I have just finished commenting on my dear younger brother's blog in which he mentions the love of our father, fried green tomatoes. I am also a proponent of this delicacy. It seems the sons of Tom Miller share a passion with our father. We enjoy the art of cooking. I was unaware that there were more in the family. Cooking is a passion of mine and has become much more so over the last few years. Ever since I partnered with my dear lady wife who is a much better cook than I. And I am pretty good. I find that I enjoy the prep work and clean up in the kitchen. Now Santini will tell you that is a much changed attitude from when I was a teen. And she would be correct. But time and experience along with necessity has tempered that. I love the chopping and prepping of veggies for the dishes that my lady prepares. I also love to work on salads, making them unusual and tasty with as much visual appeal as I can conjure at the moment of creation. Sweet potatoes are another area where I have achieved some noteriety. I love omelets of all kinds. Roasting many types of fowl also seems to be a hit. Along with the concoction of soups, slow cooker meals, jambalya, and gumbo. Hey, I love to cook. Especially when there is someone to cook it for. I prepare some mean fish meals as well. So, bring on the recipes gang. Let us see if we can create a cookbook of our own. Why not? What else is time and experience good for?

See you all later. Yehear?
