No picture?

After reading the first bit of your post I didn't think this breakfast was going to turn out very well, but it did - yum! Re the leftover cheese sauce - pour over cauliflower or broccoli and bake in the oven, or make some macaroni cheese.

It is good, and other than a lot of stirring it's easy to make. The few times I made Welsh rarebit in my teens I didn't know about the mustard and pepper to jazz it up a bit and only last year scanned some recipes and started doing it that way. The only downside is it's not something I'd want every day because it's so rich, even though I think nothing of loading up on cholesterol and salt.

Well, except for some of the ingredients, proportions, method of preparation, and end result... ;) That looks like it might be a good dip for those big pretzels as shown, but I've never had those. End of the day it's just another variant of cheese fondue.

Corned beef hash with fried eggs and toast, lashings of Frank's Red Hot.

Eggs on toast, chips, and a couple of the battered sausage things. These are hot Italian sausage with onion, parsley, and Swiss cheese in them.

Caretaker, you do like spicy foods. Fortunately, my husband is like me and don't eat anything that is spicy hot or curry.

I have too many favorite breakfast things. Some days it is French Toast (which isn't French) or poached eggs on English Muffins (which aren't English) or American pancakes (not crepes). Love corned beef hash with two eggs up and toast or a lovely western omelet with ham, peppers and onions or a runny bacon and egg on a hard roll.

I dislike avocado and thought that was pastrami LOL. Would have preferred to see poached eggs on toast with the eggs being runny not well done. We rarely eat fried foods. I notice that you like much of your foods fried.

Fried, roasted, baked, boiled, broiled, smoked, sauteed.... I like to cook and I like to eat. Some day I might get really old and lose my teeth and have to eat baby food, or become senile and forget how to cook, or have a stroke and lose my sense of taste, so in the meantime there's no good reason not to eat and drink well.

I was thinking about soft boiled eggs just now (I usually have 3), but could still go with pancakes. Nah, eggs it is.
