Wordless Wednesday: How Can I Resist???

It needn't make you fat

I have had such a good time on line since getting home from the latest trip. As always, so much to look at despite no chance of catching up with some sites. I'm finally ok with that since it turns into mental greed.

I've really enjoyed looking at what seems to be an ever increasing # of food blogs. Such tempations as well as inspiring things to cook. I actually found this via a link to a link to a link...you know the way it is...but originally on a site called This is Why You're Fat found via Danny Seo @dannyjseo on Twitter. Got it?? Yes, most of those things are gag-inducing but this one seemed like one I'd like. Yeah, Elvis would too but hey! I present...The Bacone! A cone of cooked bacon (deep fried but why really?) filled with scrambled eggs and topped with a biscuit.


While the instructions call for deep frying, I don't see why the bacon couldn't be cooked in the oven. I also say that since I've never been able to bring myself to buy a deep fryer, mostly because of the oil storage issue and disposal. I had enough of deep frying with my ever present 'chip pan' at the ready during 7 years in England. Is that why Lipotor is part of my diet ya think?

Anyhow, while I might not be making these any time soon, I think you should, and you should invite me over. I would like to try one!

This is...Sunday Lunch.

Oh, this is a hard one for me. I'm thinking back to childhood when Sunday meant Mass at about 10 a.m. followed by a big breakfast closer to noon. My Nana lived with us, so she was the cook and breakfast usually meant bacon and eggs for me, Nana and Mommy. Daddy didn't like bacon so he often got (ugh!) hamburger broiled in the broiler pan at the base of the gas oven, pushed down until it was dry and gray looking to me. I tried to avoid eating at the same time.

The rest of the day was full of newspaper and then Sunday ended with a supper. This was a light meal with a soup or sometimes another breakfast or waffles with S.O.S. for Daddy and just syrup for me. For the most part, Sunday was the day Nana "had off" in the kitchen.

When I married, my then dh's family was big on a full Sunday lunch. We too got into that habit when we lived in England, and on Saturdays I used to go to the market for the joint, taters and whatever veggie we would have. Brown baps too. I don't have memories of making much in the way of dessert but if I had a bought cake, it would have custard sauce to be sure. This changed as we moved from country to country and climate to climate. When one of you is working rotating shift work, one day is very much like the other.

These days, I have to laugh since I too take Sunday "off." (Well, I am a Nana too!) Sunday is the one day that we are likely to go out for lunch and make that our primary meal of the day. One of our favorites is southern Indian vegetarian buffets. We have a couple not too far away, and the lunch is often preceded by a visit to a bookstore. We come home full and happy with new books to peruse. I'll try and see what THIS Sunday brings!! (Look for me at Maureen-Get In the Car to see this Sunday's lunch along the Mediterranean.)
