Dinner #3: Breakfast for Dinner

Okay. So tonight I decided to try something new to surprise Mike with when he comes over for dinner. Partly because I was a bit of a dork to him, and partly because it's fun. Also partly because I'm hungry. So..

my own version of the garbage plate!

Okay, the garbage plate is a delicacy in Rochester, according to my roommate Rebecca. It consists of macaroni and cheese, french fries, hamburger meat, and a whole lot of other things that are bad for you...One recipe I found:

1st layer: Home Fries and Macaroni/mayo (very slippery macaroni and mayonnaise) a little celery and carrots in the macaroni (very little). No unusual taste with the macaroni, just like all the take out fillers we've ever had. The home fries are crisp and delicious just like homemade.

2nd Layer: Two hamburger patties medium well done covered with melted cheese, a mustard horseradish sauce, and then covered with chili hot sauce. The mustard horseradish sauce is delicious - more horsey than mustard in flavor. The hot sauce is like every ground beef hot sauce you can imagine. Typical and very good. Not too hot, very zesty and rich.

Typical Garbage Plate:

MY version, on the other hand, was kind of a breakfast-dinner. It was scrambled eggs with a bunch of different kinds of cheese, green peppers, toast, garlic, mixed spices, and turkey meat (I don't know how to cook red meat because my mom doesn't eat it, hence never taught me how to cook it. I assume it's about the same, but now I like turkey meat and I'm kinda in the habit.)

It was delicious and a triumph.
