Breakfast

A full old-fashioned breakfast is a comfort meal for me when I need an emotional boost.  Today was one of those days. 

I started by frying two slices of no nitrate bacon, drained off the fat and sauteed chopped green pepper, onion, and shitake mushrooms in the pan.  I know you're not supposed to eat bacon and there are some brands of turkey bacon that I enjoy but this is a comfort meal, remember?  Everything in moderation....

In a small bowl, lightly beat two local eggs with some dried kale, a little chervil and cracked black pepper.  Adding a tablespoon or two of water will make the eggs fluffy. Adding milk or half and half lightens the color and adds a bit of flavor.

I toasted a crumpet I picked up at Trader Joe's and enjoyed a mind-improving mid-morning breakfast. Sustenance to finish a day of chores.
