Sunday Brunch

      There is nothing quite so restorative of a positive outlook as a hearty breakfast and this morning's is especially good:

      A little applewood-smoked bacon.
      Two russet potatoes, diced in very small cubes, soaked briefly in cold, lightly-salted water (togarishi salt!) and fried in a couple of teaspoons of bacon grease, with a couple dashes of onion powder and a small dash of garlic powder as it cooked, and a bit of parsley near the end.
      A fried egg.
      A nice big cup of fresh coffee.

      It'll fix you right up!

      Alas, our internet connection is going in and out, possibly due to overnight rain.  Spring must be on the way.
