So I was hanging out over at A Cup of Jo and saw the amazing post about Dinner in the Sky.
I had to share it with all of you since these pictures are so amazing it makes me think of adding this to my bucket list. Although I'm not sure my stomach would stop doing flips long enough to let me enjoy my dinner. What do you think...would you do it?

Breakfast for Dinner or..How much I love my farm share!
When Sean is at class and I don't feel like cooking a full on meal for myself, breakfast for dinner is my go-to. We had some bacon in the fridge and the rest of the ingredients (minus the bread) were from our farm share at Greensgrow. I fried up the bacon first and NO I did not eat all of it--Sean has some for his breakfast in the morning or a snack when he comes in from class tonight.
I poured the excess grease into our grease jar...did everyone's mom do this growing up or was it just mine? HI MOM! I left enough in the pan, though, to fry up an egg. I love me some drippy eggs let me tell you. And I have finally mastered the egg flip that keeps the yolk intact. The eggs from Greensgrow are amazing. You really can taste the difference between fresh eggs and store bought. I may never eat a store bought egg again.
I made two pieces of toast and buttered one up for dipping while I slathered the other with goat cheese that I still had from last week's farm share haul. Goat cheese has that tang that tastes amazing with the buttery egg.mmmmmmmmmm. I also used some arugula from our produce this week that added a peppery crunch to my open faced sandwich. Since I'm a cheese-aholic I sprinkled parmesean and the Vampire Slayer cheese on top. The Vampire Slayer is a garlicky, spicy, soft cheese that's very distinct and very delicious. I used it in a grilled cheese the other day and it added just the right amount of kick.
See...YUMTASTIC! And afterwards I ate something that really has no business being in the same meal with all these fresh, organic, farm-grown goodies: a TOASTER STRUDEL! (The amazing competition to Pop-Tarts that, much like Hot Pockets can only be served still frozen in the middle or boiling lava hot. Thanks Jim Gaffigan). Now those things are seriously amazing and I ate them for breakfast the entire time I was in middle school. Not sure what my mom was thinking---FROSTING for breakfast??? Although I thank her for introducing me to the wonder that is a Toaster Strudel I'm pretty sure it didn't help me keep my girlish figure during my awkward years.
