Slightly OT - BEST quick Sunday Breakfast

[JohndeFresno]

2 eggs simmered
2 pcs whole wheat toast
1 Jalapeno, sliced (leave seeds in! better that way)
Coffee -
One of these:
Farmer Brothers (local Fresno blend for restaurants, available at counter)
Starbucks Breakfast Blend
Gevalia Traditional Blend
Costco Columbia Blend

Bring eggs to boil, simmer 5-8 min to taste, slice peppers and put in toast
Slice eggs into rings, pop on peppers and make a sandwich

My favorite breakfast - Quick, easy, wakes up body, soul and spirit!

For sweet changeover, put on a smithering of JillsJams.com Kiwi Jelly

Eggs, over med., either bacon or sausage, sliced tomatoes, either decaf or diet cola. Wanna drop 55 lbs, so no ethnic foods... for us Irish, that's potatoes & bread, both of which I CRAVE!!!

Farmers Brothers. That's a name I haven't heard in quite a while. I thought it was gone. They must have pulled in their reins as it used to be available in most stores in SoCal when I was a kid.

I lived in LA until I was 15 1/2; don't remember it being in stores. Hills Brothers, yes.

It is still relatively unknown in the Valley. It is a superb blend, and available only to restaurants and a few restaurant supply places. We have even given the coffee as Christmas gifts in the past - always very well received, with a question as to where we found it. I don't have a gourmet tongue, but it seems that every time I'd ask a restaurant where they got the great coffee around here, they'd say "Farmer Brothers." It's just something different about it that stands out.

EDIT: Checked site at http://www.farmerbroscousa.com/mission and was surprised to find out that this company is all over the West Coast, based in Torrance, CA. I had thought that it originated in Fresno, where I go to get the stuff. Perhaps it was in the stores down south, somewhere. Ya learn lotsa stuff on this site.

Farmer Bros. Coffee Grew up in SoCal and it seems like I'd seen it in stores, but my Mom ordered it, just as she had milk delivered and we bought Helm's bread! To be experienced, nothing like it today!

It all sounds great except for the coffee part. I get my caffeine and sugar from good ole Mt. Dew!

[Rusty]

Started making my coffee in a press about 2 years ago. My press makes one full cup for traveling and about a 1/2 a cup for drinkin on the spot. There's no life without it.

[CowboyTutt]

God Blaine that was funny!

John, love them grilled Jalapenos. Chorizo and scrambled eggs is yummy too. Being born in the mid West I've always liked a good biscuit and gravy and chicken friend steak, but I go out for that. Pete's Sumatra coffee is my personal fave. -Tutt

LA in the 50's - My older brother worked at Helms as a teenager; we had Adohr milk delivered to the door by trucks using real bags of ice (we'd beg for a small piece to suck on); and everybody was talking about the new San Diego Freeway going up where police were using special "Interceptor" suspension and engine packages to catch speeders as they patrolled that modern miracle of transportation. And we left our doors unlocked!

Yes - very funny, Blaine - thanks for not showing the fire exiting from some other area (it's a family site, y'know). A day without jalapenos is like a month without sunshine!

Adohr's... couldn't remember the diary's name... After we moved to Westminster, we biked all over the soon to be San Diego freeway site on weekends (work shut down).

Farmer Bros. was more like the Mossberg of coffee...Serviceable..
Breakfast...unfortunately I recently discoverd I can make a single serving of SOS in about the time it takes to make the toast..

[iceman]

As for the flame from the other end just eat ice cream after for dessert. Then when on the throne just say "COME ON ICE CREAM"

[firefuzz]

Seven minute drive to either I-HOP or Golden Corral, depends on how hungry I am. NO cooking, NO cleanup, and usually have a good looking waitress to hand it to me.

I cook most of the week, Sunday morning I go on strike.

This is the heat I like on stuff It's prolly as hot as a Jalapeno, but it's always the same heat..no surprises, and the red chili's don't bother my stomach....you can find this anywhere. Just a hair sweet, and with garlic.

The best Garlic/Spicy shrimp in the world is Rooster sauce, a bit of butter, a bit of soy and brown sesame oil and quick fry. (extra garlic doesn't hurt a thing)

And since I live a whole eight miles from Torrance...

Yep, Helm bread trucks, the milk man would deliver fresh milk (heck the closest dairy was just around the corner, Ben Cluff's), eggs butter, cream, you name it. But that's when many mom's didn't work and families had only one car. Dang I miss the 50's.

I have to say, I quit doing things quick a few years back. My favorite retired man's breakfast is:
A couple of thick sliced strips of bacon
scrambled eggs done just right
Buttermilk biscuits torn apart
A couple patties of pork sausage
Homemade gravy poured over biscuits, sausage, and eggs.
A good cup of hot coffee
My wife gets up when she smells the coffee and bacon.
I have it down to a science so it all comes out hot at the same time. (there's an art to it young men)
If I have any biscuits left over a little butter and homemade preserves is dessert.
When all the kids and grand-kids are here, they get out of bed and are sitting there waiting on me to say "come and get it"

[CowboyTutt]

Now THAT is a breakfast RR7! -Tutt

[rock-steady]

Breakfast just ain't breakfast without some hot buttered grits. Add a side of bacon or venison/pork sausage, fried eggs, cathead biscuits and cane syrup. Then wash it down with some strong black coffee made in the old stainless steel percolator. Carpe Diem!

[Machado]

Way to go, Rangerider! As a severe cardiopath and insulin-dependent diabetic, I eat a local version of that breakfast every time I feel suicidal. May I trouble you for a biscuit recipe? Mine have been a total failure as the local baking powder is short on oomph and our flour is kinda thick.
Thank you

funny, I "found" Farmer Brothers three years ago at Gelson's. Then they stopped offering it to stores. I called their Torrance office and asked about buying a case. They told me they have a warehouse in the Valley and to go there - it's about a mile from work. They sell to the public on Friday's after noon, I have bought cases twice. It's the only coffee that doesn't bother my stomach later.

As have mine. I've made it my goal to learn how to produce good-to-excellent biscuits this winter. I'd start now but the oven heat would run me outta the house.

Mayo biskets are KILLER!!

Ingredients
2 cups self-rising flour 1 cup milk 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large bowl, stir together flour, milk, and mayonnaise until just blended. Drop by spoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets.
Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

[Machado]

Chas, it's winter down here, and we're freezing with the mercury hovering @ 55 F. No problem with oven heat.
Blaine, thank you. I'm off to the kitchen right now.
