I thought I would save some time by asking my wife to help plate. I turned around and found the eggs on top of the sausage gravy. Lesson learned. Never ask for help. Be fully independent.

      In a "traditional’ American breakfast with eggs you get a choice of protein like bacon or sausage, eggs cooked a few different ways, some kind of starch like potatoes or grits, and a bread option like toast or [American] biscuits. On that bread option you can put butter or jam. I had extra [American] biscuits and with as heavy as the sausage gravy and eggs were going to be I put some jam on them to offer a little acidic brightness to the mix.

      This meal was basically 300 grams of pork, three eggs, 120 ml of cream, 170 ml of milk, and 40 grams of butter with 140 grams of flour mixed in. That’s per person. It’s all fat and carbs. A little contrast with acid in the jam helps liven things up a little.

      Yeah that’s a lot of food. But it was my only meal of the day.
