Candied Bacon Crackers

Christmastime is still being enjoyed at my house. 

Candied Bacon

My son, Tim's, birthday is today and he and his two daughters, Avery and Ella came over for brunch on Sunday.

Farm Fresh Eggs and Home Smoked Bacon

 How about joining me for some eggs and bacon on toast with some melted cheese?  My youngest son and DIL live in Dallas and they have a chicken coop, and they recently shared some of their eggs with me. 

 I'm using my Old Britain Castle plate and teacup for Memorial Day.  

 Aren't these eggs so pretty?  They're even prettier in person.  The egg yolks are much brighter than store-bought eggs. 

 My son cures and smokes his own bacon, and slices it with an electric meat slicer.  This particular bacon was espresso and maple flavored.  Oh my, was it ever fabulous and the best bacon that I've ever tasted!  My son likes to use hickory wood for smoking the bacon.  I love using my cast iron skillet that I bought at a garage sale over forty years ago. 

I toasted some of my sourdough bread that I've kept going for 12 years now.  The starter was given to me from someone that said it had originated in the Civil War.  I put lots of grains, bulgur wheat, whole wheat and unbleached flour in it.  This was truly a delicious meal! 

 Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all of those who serve our country and those who have served!
