Well, I gotta tell ya, when the sun’s barely up and the rooster ain’t even finished crowing, that’s when I get myself moving. First thing I do, I get outta bed, stretch me old bones, and then I shuffle over to the kitchen. It’s a routine, you see. Ain’t no thinking, just doing. I gotta make breakfast.
Now, when I say “I make breakfast,” it’s not just about tossin’ a couple of eggs in a pan or throwin’ some bread in the toaster. Nah, I’m talking about the whole shebang—bread, eggs, maybe some bacon if I’m feelin’ fancy, and a nice cup of tea. You see, making breakfast, that’s more than just cooking. It’s about setting up the whole day right, filling the belly so you can get to work, whether it’s out in the field or with the grandkids. You gotta do it proper, no cutting corners.
First thing’s first, I always start with the bread. I don’t like that store-bought stuff, no sir. I make sure I got me some good, hearty homemade bread or maybe some fresh rolls from the bakery down the road. Ain’t nothin’ like the smell of fresh bread in the mornin’. That’s the smell of home, of a good start to the day. And once I got that, I’ll slap it in the toaster, or if I’m feelin’ real old-school, I’ll warm it up on the stove. Ain’t no shame in that, ya know.
Then comes the eggs. Oh, eggs. Now, I don’t just crack them and let them fry. Nah, I like to scramble ‘em. Give ‘em a good whisk with a little milk, salt, and pepper. You know, just the right amount of fluff. Can’t have ’em too runny or too dry, gotta get that perfect texture. Once they’re done, I pile ‘em on the plate, next to the bread, so they don’t get too cold. A little butter on that bread, of course. Gotta keep it simple, but it’s always gotta taste good.
And if the grandkids are around, I might even toss in some bacon or sausage, though that’s a special treat. Ain’t like the good ol’ days when we had pigs running around and could just grab a bit of meat from the butcher. Things are a little different now, but I make do. Bacon’s good for breakfast, but don’t overdo it, I say. Too much bacon makes your tummy ache, and I ain’t got time for that.
After all that, I usually make myself a nice cup of tea. Some folks drink coffee in the morning, but me, I stick to tea. It’s warm, it’s calming, and it don’t make me jittery. A little sugar, a little milk, and I’m good to go. I sip it slow, sitting at the table, looking out the window, thinking about the day ahead.
Now, I’ve heard folks sayin’ things like “I’m doing breakfast” or “I’ve cooked breakfast,” and I reckon them phrases are fine if you’re talkin’ about the general idea of eatin’ or preparing a meal. But to me, when I say “I make breakfast,” it’s the whole picture. It’s about the process, from the moment I get up to the moment I sit down and enjoy what I’ve made. Ain’t no better feeling than knowin’ you’ve got a good meal in your belly to start the day right.
And let me tell ya, if I’m makin’ breakfast for the family, that’s even better. Everyone sittin’ ‘round the table, passin’ the butter and jam, talkin’ about what’s goin’ on in their lives, and maybe sharing a laugh or two. It don’t get much better than that. Breakfast ain’t just about the food, it’s about the folks you’re share it with.
So, when you hear someone say, “I make breakfast,” don’t just think they’re cookin’. It’s a whole routine, a daily ritual that sets the tone for the whole day. From the moment that first egg hits the pan to the last sip of tea, making breakfast is more than just a task—it’s a way to start the day right.
So, to wrap it all up, when you wake up tomorrow, don’t just think about breakfast as somethin’ you gotta do quick. Make it count. Take your time, enjoy it, and share it with the ones you love. Ain’t nothin’ better than starting the day off right, and you can do that with a simple, homemade breakfast.
