Fifth Day of Lent

After that great weekend of brunches – from a bad-ass steak breakfast burrito to actual real bacon – we couldn’t start the weak with some weak frozen breakfast sandwich or even a yummy drive-through meal.  So we decided to go big and get some breakfast meat which can rival the ol’ cured meat candy:  some Johnsonville Breakfast Sausage Links.

These bad boys bring us back to breakfasts of yore… plump, juice, salty, and savory all in one bite.  How do they do it?  I have no clue… but when bacon isn’t around, I always reach for the Johnsonville breakfast sausage.

I’m sure some of you are asking, “What the hell is that next to the pork?”  Yeah – it’s some fruit leftover from the drinks I made yesterday for National Margarita Day.

Tequila, VEEV, and POM.  What can I say?  I’m multi-talented.

Day 2 – Friday, March 7th

It’s Friday, and it’s going to be a great day.  The storms from yesterday have passed, it’s beautiful out, and it’s the beginning of a long, big weekend.  So naturally I’m going to need a filling breakfast to get me through the morning until… well, lunch.  But without bacon, what am I going to do for meat?  (Because a meal without meat is like a meal without food.)  So I ventured out to Publix and grabbed a pack of our favorite standby – Johnsonville Fresh Breakfast Sausages. sausage While it’s not bacon, it still has a nice salty satisfying pork flavor – and they’re Susan’s favorite, so brownie points for me.  Speaking of bacon, maybe if I can win one of those Oscar Meyer Bacon Scent Alarm Clock devices, I can pretend there’s bacon at breakfast – after all, smell is a major factor in taste, right? Alright, time to enter the contest again – wish me luck.  More to come….
