To be perfectly honest, I hadn’t planned on making breakfast for dinner tonight. No, rather, I have several perfectly good meals on the menu plan for the week that I purchased ingredients for and all! But on my way home, as the windshield wipers beat back and forth like little metronomes and I could feel the damp chill through the closed car window, I knew that neither of my preplanned meals would scratch the itch, so to speak. No, what tonight required was breakfast for dinner. Plain and simple.
LeeLee smiled when I told him of the last-minute menu change – I think he’d been expecting it. So with the formalities out of the way, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work in the kitchen.
I haven’t mentioned much on the blog about my new sourdough starter – it’s been all the rage on Instagram, though! – so perhaps you weren’t expecting me to use it in tonight’s biscuits. In fact, I did not, opting instead to go the Bisquik route instead in the interest of time. But a friend of mine made the sourdough biscuits just last weekend to rave reviews, and I know my time is coming!
While the biscuits baked, I scrambled four eggs, procured by the dozen at the Del Ray Farmer’s Market in Alexandria on Saturday (the same day I learned that our friend Jen had baked the sourdough biscuits – and shortly after both couples had enjoyed breakfast together at Stomping Ground, eating … biscuits! Of all things!). And shortly before the biscuits were ready, I unveiled four veggie sausage links ready for eating.
LeeLee had to work through dinner tonight, but I delivered the meal up to his home office, complete with Cajun seasoning and hot sauce. I like to think it kept him from certain death while hammering out the last of his daily assignments! As for me, I’ll never turn away from a biscuit, especially when it’s surrounded by scrambled eggs and sausage. Breakfast for dinner is always a hit!
