Saturday Morning Breakfast

We had one of our "Breakfasts" in the garage on Saturday morning. It was fun! Family, Friends and Neighbors, What more could you ask for?


Ron told people 8am. I was telling them 8:30am. My Dad walked through the door as the 3rd person to get here. I got scolded! At least now I'm sure where I got that habit from. If I'm on time, I'm late! Dad was early for the time I had told him, but late for the time Ron was telling people. Sorry Dad!

I think we should do these breakfasts more often. Ron is not so sure about that. He would get better with his timing if he did it more often. Ron has never trained as a short order cook. Breakfast is easy, but takes timing. Hash browns take longer to cook than eggs. Therefore you must start the hash browns first. But if someone only wants an omelet, that can be cooked while someone else's hash browns are cooking... But you have to remember to start the eggs for the hash browns before the hash browns are done or you risk burning them. So... if we did this more often his timing would get better. What do you guys think?


Of course I forgot to get the camera out. And when I did we were just about done. But I managed to get Derek's omelet on film. The picture does not do it justice though. 4 Eggs, Lil' Smokies, Ham, Mushrooms, Peppers and onions... The bacon was gone by that time, but just about everything else that was available to put in an omelet he did. To Derek's credit he ate almost all of it. And an order of hash browns, and a scone, and a big glass of orange juice... It was way more than I would care to eat!


This time the chalkboard simply said "Garage Cafe, Order what you want, Enjoy what you get". By the time I had gotten the camera out the children had erased and written all over the chalkboard. Some day I'll get my act together! But it's not easy for an old dog to remember the new tricks, much less be able to do them.
