I like to get creative when I make things; especially for breakfast. One time I made a hot dog bun French toast (it was pretty good - I had cooked a hot dog to put on top of it - different blog). This time I decided to make a hamburger bun French toast. With the hot dog bun, I ran out of regular bread. This time I had regular bread but had bought hamburger buns since they were on sale; two for a dollar.
My brother wanted to get hamburger to use the buns with. While I used some for this, there are two packages so it can be used for that too. I just don't go just for beef patties but also turkey or chicken patties; made from a package of ground meat. I used to get ground lamb too; the butcher at the grocery store would grind it up for us (back when I lived in NJ with my Dad). Those are future blogs (more ideas for them).
This the hamburger buns after I dipped them in the egg mixture. It doesn't seem to soak up a lot of the mixture. There was some leftover to make the omelet. They are cooking on one side. One can definitely recognize them as hamburger buns. I used a non-stick pan to cook them in.
This is after I flipped them. One can see that they are cooked pretty well on this side. Since the buns are small (relatively), it was easy to flip them.
This is when they were on the plate - the hamburger bun French toast and my pepper jack cheese omelet - and before I decided to make a sandwich with them. At first I was going to eat it this way but thought it would make a neat sandwich; a breakfast sandwich of sorts.
The hamburger buns were still soft and were not crunch on the outside. I think the egg mixture kept the buns from getting to crunchy. I egg mixture was two eggs, whipped milk, a little bit of olive oil, flax seed meal and oak bran (the last two ingredients to make it a little healthy - I was told to add those to the pancake mix to make it a little healthier). I don't remember if I added anything else. Each time I make the egg mixture is different depending on what I have in the kitchen.
When I made the omelet, I took some slices of pepper jack cheese and laid it on top of the cooking eggs. I folded it - not successfully - over (had to divide it in half since it was really big and even my big spatula had trouble flipping it as a whole).
This is the plate of cooked bacon. It was part of a 'managers special' (three packages of bacon wrapped together and sold for 4.99 - a deal I could not resist. I am not an expert on cooking bacon but it seems I did a good job on cooking it. My brother had some and he liked it.
Here is the label for the bacon. I think it was on sale due to being close to the expiration date or perhaps it was not selling well. It was still good and did not smell or taste like it was bad. It cooked up pretty well. I used paper towels to soak up the fat in the pan. I don't know if this is the right thing to do but it would splatter and hit me if I didn't.
Here is the end result. I left the left one open so one can see the bacon on top with the pepper jack cheese omelet beneath it. I did not know how it would taste but it was pretty good. It made for a unique breakfast sandwich or an any time of the day sandwich; there are those who ate breakfast not just in the morning and there are places that one can order breakfast at any time of the day.

My art store is still gong strong (don't think it is selling anything but it is still there).
As one can see with some of my posts at this blog, I am not a professional cook. I am not even an amateur cook. I just like to cook. There are times I would cook something and the result wasn't very good. I might eat it anyway because I have strange tastes. As you can see by my picture, I am not starving.
This blog is just about food in general. I thought since I like to eat food (can't go day without doing so), why not blog about it? It is fun. I hope to continue to do so for a very long time. It would be neat to make some money through advertising on my blog but I am not sure if I blog enough for it to happen.
I think a future blog idea is on cook books that I have read. There is one that not only shows recipes but also gives some background information on the recipes. There is one that I am reading that gives some information (I don't agree with everything they indicate in it) about low carb cooking. I am reading or read about some that was for a specific ingredient. Some of the books are printed and some are e-books (I use e-book reader on my tablet computer, my computer and an e-book reader - I guess this could also go in my 'nerd' blog too).
