Hi Barbara,
I can go for a breakfast like that. Just add some sauted onions and green
chilis, pinto beans, scrambled eggs, bacon and fried potatos and corn tortillas. A
breakfast like that you can build bobware fences and plant, plow and cultivate till
lunch. 'Course after about 10 o'clock you'll get to thinking about the fried steak
and potatos and corn on the cob for lunch, can't wait.
