Sunday Night Laundry and McAwesomes!

Well, it's Sunday night which means a mountain of laundry was done today -woohoo! Boy I sure do miss the days when I used to live at home but I'm sure my mom doesn't :) Anyway, you all may have heard that a few weeks ago the inventor of the Egg McMuffin, Herb Peterson had passed away. Why am I telling you this? Well because I have concocted my own McMuffin, however I call it the McAwesome because it's awesome and I made it myself and won't immediately give you a heart attack like the Mickey D's version. I've listed out the key ingredients below:

(1) bag of wheat english muffins

(1) dozen eggs (you only need about four eggs for two people)

(1) package of velvetta cheese (sandwich kind)

(1) Jimmy dean sausage (low fat) regular is pictured below

(1) Can of "I can't believe it's not butter" (Fabio not included)


Okay, so what you do is take the Jimmy Dean sausage and make yourself 3-4 patties. I would recommend taking a spatula and flattening them out so that they look about the size of a hamburger patty because they shrink quite a bit when you cook them. I would also use some Pam or other non-stick stuff when you are flattening them out because the sausage tends to stick a lot on your spatula and the pan. Once you have the sausages going (over med heat), I would start toasting the english muffins and then put in the eggs in a pan over medium heat. The trick with the eggs is you want them to be as flat as possible so treat them sort of like an omelet. At this point you may have the muffins popping out of the toaster so just but some butter on each side and put them to the side. Hopefully by now your sausage is about done and the eggs are a little fluffy but let's assume everything is done. My suggestion is to put the items on the english muffin in this order: english muffin (bottom)+sausage+velveeta cheese (give it a few mins to melt on the sausage)+eggs and then put the top half of the muffin on top and Voila! I've attached a picture for your viewing pleasure (these were Holly's creations) and she did an awesome job. I call them McAwesomes or ABC's (Another Bad Creation) although the last name is totally a rip-off of an 80s R&B group.

I'm still not sure if that picture makes them look better or worse but seriously try them and decide for yourself, we've now made them 2 weekends in a row so what does that tell you. In other news, the job hunt is going well, I've already got a couple of interviews lined up early next week so we'll see what happens. Unfortunately due to the circumstances and timing, Holly and I were not able to get Seahawks season tickets however Don and Barb did but I figure we can always get tickets if we want to. Oh well, I have the plasma at home but seriously nothing beats a game at Qwest but we'll try to make some home games this year. Lastly, we can't wait for Thursday because the Office is back on TV - woohoo! As I said earlier I don't really watch a lot of prime time stuff but we love the Office. Also, if you haven't yet you should check out http://www.hulu.com/ they have all kinds of shows and movies for free if you want to watch them however you do have to listen to commercials every now and then. Well it's getting late so I have to run and don't forget to try the McAwesomes, I guarantee you won't be disappointed, unless of course you don't like awesome food.
