After making eggs in the morning for over a year, you'd think I'd of burnt out. Sure, in all honesty I did burn out a few times, but I keep coming back with new variations. Here is my latest. It's inspired by Gordon Ramsay's masterchef tutorial on making the perfect scrambled eggs. On watching it again as I'm setting up this post, I'm proud to say I'm pretty close. I start with the eggs and butter, or bacon fat, in a pan. It's usually 6 eggs for 3 people. I'd like to say it's 3 knobs, in Gordon speak, or tbsps of fat but I never measure. I also work the eggs on and off the fire, like Gordon shows in the tutorial. In the beginning, it was a little awkward, but with practice, it becomes intuitive. My best advice is, once it's not easy to spatula the bottom, pull it off. Keep working the eggs until it's easy to spatula the bottom, then put it back on. Try it a few times, you'll see.

It's been a month since I've done a blog post. Sorry. Life has a habit of carrying us away, right? Well, I guess it's time to climb back on the horse.  These blogs help keep me accountable to myself. This blog I was feeling pretty Buzzfeedy. I decided to go with something easy and actionable. Breakfast eggs.

Saturday Morning, Anne Marie wanted the kids out of the house so I decided to go on a mini road trip with them. Our first stop was to the Healthy Way Dairy Farm. A friend of mine mentioned you can get raw, unpasteurized milk from there. It peeked my interest. This farm is in the middle of an unincorporated neighborhood in Santa Fe, Texas. By the time we reached it, I was questioning Google Map's authority and accuracy. Good News, in the end, I didn't find the wrong way, I found the Healthy Way Dairy Farm. Thanks navigation! The place had quite a few cows, some ready for milking. Farmers where busy running tractors back in forth as the cows mooed and moved about. In the front of the farm, there was a small lot and a small red shack set up as a store. Inside, there are refrigerators full of gallon and half gallon jugs of milk. Milk from a single cow source. The cows are even named! As an American used to getting milk from a store, that blows me away. So does the price...
