Hot Sauce: I Put That Shit on Everything.

Well, since Monday left me exhausted, and yesterday wasn't much better...I passed out at 10:30 last night and woke up before 5 (yes BEFORE 5) am this morning. The storm wasn't really helpful either. So I tried to fall back asleep...for over an hour, before I finally got up to make breakfast. This provided me plenty of time to actually write about breakfast at breakfast time! I'll tell you about yesterday first because I was pretty impressed with another quick play meal to run out the door with.

I'm not sure if I told you, but we don't have a toaster. Why? I couldn't tell you...but we don't. So toast and other toasted products are heated in the oven. After the broiler fire fiasco, of course, we can't use the broiler anymore...so I had to bake my toast...which gave me time to run around and get dressed, etc. etc. I nuked some bacon (not optimum, but bacon is bacon no matter how you cook it, right?), and pan-fried an egg white. I put a piece of American cheese on top of the egg and covered the pan until the cheese was melty. Combined all ingredients for a fast and easy breakfast sammy of joy!

So this morning, with the early wake up, I thought I would make something super delightful...but then I got lazy and made this:


More breakfast tacos.

1. I have a thing for corn tortillas.
2. I'm on a Mexican kick.
3. I don't know if you've noticed but I make things different every time, even if they have the same name....

These tacos were no different (and by that I mean they were a slight variation on whatever I've made before--which, without reading past blogs...I'm not even sure I remember them...)

I put some Tastefully Simple Corn and Black Bean Salsa (my favorite!) in a small egg pan and let it simmer. Then I cracked two egg whites over it, and let them slowly scramble together for a super mixed consistency thing. Wrapped the mix in corn tortillas and topped it with a tiny bit of aged cheddar cheese. Then some Texas Pete's Hot Sauce from.... (wait for it)...North Carolina (I know, right? You were thinking Texas).  This was a gift from the Region IV JCI Senate booth at their States party on Monday night. I was honored to be a judge in the competition and had a great time with some very inspirational Jaycees. Plus I got some AWESOME hot sauce. Thanks, H for asking me!

Both breakfasts delightfully edible. Both successes.  See you tomorrow!
