Good Morning, What's for Breakfast (at least the coffee is good)

We had a brief overnight visit from some new dear friends. Nathan, his wife Amber, and April members of Matthew Fite's church spent the night at our home after a week in Mexico. I love Mexico, its people, the land and its beauty, and its OCEAN with its productive waters. As much as I love much of Mexico, there are the parts that appall me; putting used toilet paper in a trash can (ARE YOU KIDDING ME?), the dust and dirt that clings to every square inch of everything, the squalor, the corruption. When I return across that invisible and yet so very real demarcation we call the border I want to get on my knees and kiss the ground.

My wife's cousin David climbed Everest a few years back. He recalls how indescribably filthy and unsanitary Kathmandu was. Then he started trekking to the mountains was shocked beyond belief how utterly disgusting the inns were as he ascended the Himalayas. Lice, bed bugs, rotten food, privies (if one could call them that) that had not been cleaned in two centuries. When he returned to Kathmandu he thought he had gone to heaven. Never saw anything so clean and lovely in his life. Everything is relative I suppose.

What nice thing do you do for folks that have roughed it in Mexico all week. First, let them take a shower. For our friend's first breakfast back on American soil, Sue suggested I make breakfast sandwiches for them. Great idea. On a Sunday morning? In a pastor's home on Sunday morning? Forget about it. Terrible idea. We had a cold breakfast cereal buffet.

If............I had prepared breakfast sandwiches I would do so as follows:

Use croissant, nothing else will do. Croissants are $5.50 a dozen at Costco for pete's sake, and they are very, very good.

Canadian bacon or cook up some bacon.

Pan fry eggs (I like my yolks slightly runny)

Cheese. Yes, say cheeeeeeeeese with me. Maybe some kerrygold cheedar, gruyere, swiss, havarti, goats milk edom is great.

A little bit of mayo, some dijon.

25 seconds in the Micro.

Voila!!!

At the men's breakfast I prepare each week this is always a favorite.
