We’re a big weekend-brunch family around here. It’s a rare Saturday or Sunday where LeeLee and I don’t sit down for a hearty meal roundabout 11 a.m., or maybe 12:30, and enjoy all our favorite brunch foods – tofu scramble, or scrambled eggs, or grits, or waffles, or biscuits.
Tonight, he was a bit late getting home, and I had hurried home from work early to greet our friend Mathias, who had come to help me – and by “help me” I mean “do the work” – install a new front porch light, for ours had given up the ghost quite awhile ago. And with Halloween coming this weekend, I knew we had to have it back in working order ASAP!
So by the time Mathias had departed (bless him for his good, patient work!) and before LeeLee had arrived home, I had sort of lost the verve for a big dinner. I scanned the kitchen and immediately landed on the answer: Brunch for dinner!
And so it happened that I put some grits in a saucepan on the stove, followed closely by four eggs in my omelet pan, which I promptly scrambled. I heated several sausage links in the microwave for some extra protein, and by the time LeeLee had gotten home and settled, it was time to eat!
We’ve been eating on our TV trays a little more often than I’d generally care for, and we did so again tonight, but I’m willing to give us a pass. The days have been so hectic, and the nights often the same way, that I feel like a little TV-tray time isn’t the worst thing that can happen to us by a long shot. It’ll do for now!
