Ingredients for the Perfect Breakfast

 

After feeding Max this morning, I set about fixin' my own breakfast. I am pretty much of a food agnostic - meaning I will eat just about any and everything, but this morning I happened to have all of the ingredients at hand to fix my perfect breakfast.

List of Ingredients:

#	Ingredient		Notes
1	Grits		Custom ground. NO instant or quick grits. I Recommend custom ground grits from Homestead Gristmill. But, Bob's makes a fair yellow grit that you can find in well-stocked local groceries
2	Venison Sausage		Slice a 3 to 4 inch section off the link and slice it into 1/4 inch slices. Whittington's Meat Processing, in Johnson City, Texas, makes the best venison sausage that I have ever eaten. You supply your own deer! They will butcher, add pork, stuff the sausage, and store it for you! If you don't have the time or inclination to harvest your own deer, HEB sells a venison and pork sausage. Although it is no match for Whittington's venison sausage, it will do in a pinch.
3	Fried Eggs		Fry them in a cast-iron skillet over easy or medium. Leave the yellow runny for the grits.
4	Confederate Coffee		You can often find the Cafe Du Monde brand at your local H.E.B. But I prefer to order the chickory from New Orleans Roast and mix it with coffee that I have ground myself.
5	Butter		For the grits! Don't be shy with the butter.
6	Salt & Pepper		To taste
7	Milk		Some people like to use milk to prepare the grits, or to flavor the coffee. I usually skip the milk.
8	Cane-bottomed Rocking Chair		Perhaps the most important ingredient. After eating the grits, sausage, and eggs, go sit in the rocking chair and enjoy another cup of coffee as you contemplate the wonders of the morning!
