Sometimes a meal gets away from you, and things go wrong. You'd expect this to happen while cooking something fancy, like risotto. But a meal as simple as Brinner (breakfast for dinner) can just as easily go awry.
Case in point; tonight's meal. Store bought biscuits and frozen hash browns, breakfast sausage, eggs, fruit. The boys' sausage biscuits and eggs were simple. But I had to go for something fancier for myself; a food-lover's downfall. Plus, I have a fridge full of greens of all kinds that have to be eaten. So I sauteed some spinach and shallot. Good so far. I read the directions on the hash browns and I swear they said to put them in an ungreased pan. So I did. They stuck all over that pan. That burning rubber you smell? My oven mitt pressed against the burner while I try in vain to unstick the hash browns. Okay, eggs. A different pan. More sticking. I tried to photograph my mess, but of course the camera batteries were dead.
I did manage to sit down to a nice meal: I mixed up the hash browns (I was able to unstick about 30% of them) with the spinach, and laid the scrambled egg and cheddar cheese on top. On the side: sausage and a biscuit with butter and orange marmalade. Not too shabby. But very messy.
