Purposeful Ramblings Through My Mind

This is how you feed breakfast to a bunch of hungry nerds after a party.

First, throw a party that involves half a dozen overnight guests. Over the course of the evening, as people stop grazing the veggie tray, steal some bell peppers and broccoli from it, dice them, and put them in a bowl in the fridge. Chop an onion or have one on hand already chopped.

While everyone is still sleeping the next morning, get out a big lasagna pan. Pour an entire package of frozen hashbrowns into it and spread them evenly along the bottom. Take the veggies out of the fridge and spread them over the hashbrowns. Sprinkle with salt.

In a mixing bowl, crack eighteen eggs, maybe a few more, maybe a few less. Beat these. Add some oregano, garlic, and salt. Add some milk. Pour the egg mixture over the stuff already in the lasagna pan.

Bake at 350F for about fifty minutes, until the egg is set and the edges browned. Serve with ketchup or fruit chili and coffee or tea or both. Orange juice is usually a hit. Remember that you forgot to serve one of the cheesecakes last night and serve it for dessert. (This is brunch, not breakfast, so dessert is acceptable.)

Rejoice in saving your arteries from the mess of bacon and fried eggs your husband would otherwise have prepared.
