Another one with no scones.
We’ve not been out much recently, partly because Julia has been making me give books away (or “declutter” as she likes to call it) and partly because we are trying to economise. Despite my lottery win we are still adjusting to Julia only having one job.
On Friday, we decided to treat ourselves to a McDonald’s breakfast. It’s not something to boast about, but as they serve 3.5 million customers a day in the UK it’s not like I’m alone in my poor diet choice. The problem, of course, was that I’d already had one on Monday. One a month is acceptable, one a week is borderline. Two a week is a source of shame.
Anyway, as we haven’t had scones recently, I decided that this would have to do.
Sausage and Egg McMuffin
It’s difficult, when looking at a Sausage and Egg McMuffin, to work out where the sausage element is.
These are sausages. Proper British breakfast sausages.
It’s also difficult, having read that it was inspired by Eggs Benedict, to actually see the similarity, apart from the egg and muffin. That’s a bit like calling a bicycle a horse and cart just because it has wheels and a saddle.
Despite this, the sausage and egg McMuffin, particularly with the addition of BBQ Sauce and black pepper is a good start to the day.
The best bit is probably the chance to sit and talk for a while. Too many of our mornings are spent rushing about, and it worries me that Julia doesn’t see enough of me. That’s why I took the final photograph – I thought you’d like to see a picture of a woman spending quality time with her loved one. Note that I got us the best table, just by the toilet door.
Help, get me out of here!
Lovely to see Julia – and loved the funny photo comment.
And black pepper gets a YES ++++ BBQ sauce – absolutely not
🙂 No BBQ sauce? I am shaking my head sadly…
No BBQ sauce and no pies (this has been discussed in the past). You and I would hate each other in real life, I fear. : )
I’m sure we would be fine, as long as we didn’t actually eat together! 🙂
My uncle and several others, swear by the McD coffee.
It’s likely that the English variety wouldn’t meet with their approval. 🙂
What is life without treats? Once a week, Clif hauls out the little deep fryer he got for Father’s Day a couple of years ago. We have hand-cut fries and surprisingly tasty faux chicken nuggets. We enjoy every bite.
Sounds good. Impressive self-control too. 🙂
Right? We could be eating those tasty treats several times a week. We might even be able to convince ourselves that the faux chicken is healthy. 😉
All things are possible relating to fried food. 🙂
Richard and I spend very little time together despite me not going out to work and him being retired. Those sausages look wonderful! I bake or grill them these days and they don’t taste as good as fried ones.
Baking is much healthier. Sighs…
Yes. Big sigh.. 😉
🙂
Sausage and egg Mcmuffin is my favourite with a hash brown!
🙂 They are good, but I feel guilty about them these days. I suppose I’ll soon be ordering the pensioner portions next!
