Sausage and smoked cheddar grits with a side of day old bread turned into french toast.
Cost per person is weird because I ate so much sausage but if it was evenly distributed in a healthy amount the cost per person would be about $2.18. as shown it’s closer to $4.24.
I am some what disheartened to see a lack of potato product BUT I will allow it…
Those feet poking out under the eggs tho…
I did end up drawing chicken feet today. But not in a plate.
Your drawings are fun.
Last I recall, you kinda burned yourself out on the ‘Sunday Orangecat’ stuff, but I salute that energy redirecting down different avenues. Assuming.
Actually I have my own coming ‘Sunday crazy comic’ to post to HC, but first I need to re-remember myself on how to use GIMP, dag-blaggit…
It’s not that I was burned out. It’s that I was taking part in inktober and that was consuming all of my available draw time. This particular drawing started during then and is only working on a little bit at a time. Next week I have to be back to Sunday edits.
Ah! So how did the latest Inktober go for you, if I may ask?
I haven’t really drawn much of anything in years other than the occasional Celtic knot or D&D critter. I picked up the necessary supplies to get back in just before inktober started and then I found out it existed so I decided it would be a good crash course for finding areas I need improvement on and cram in a lot of practice on a schedule.
Overall it was a success. I need to loosen up a lot. I need to work on figure drawing and faces.
Huh! Well right on!
I need to loosen up a lot. I need to work on figure drawing and faces.
Huh, that’s a bit reminiscent for me. One thing that kinda fluffed with my head is that early on, people told me that “you’re smart, and you’re talented at art,” but for some reason I chose to try to follow my Dad and step-dad in to STEM careers, completely outside of my domain. Me being absolutely dreadful in maths… I predictably crashed & burned.
But in terms of art, I neglected to get trained, and tried to ‘figure it all out’ myself. Goldang stoopidest decision I ever made in my life, but it also taught me something that my masters had realised long before, and it goes something like this-- “in the arts, you absolutely MASTER the technicalities, buddy, and THEN you learn how to unleash yourself with a savageness, ultimately producing a legit, new form.”
Oof, something like that, anyway. :S
Jesus I didn’t see those at first. Has to be a pattern on the plate, right?
Three of our plants have bird drawings on them…
Who draws on plants?
People who can’t type.
That was the first thing I saw. Took me too long to realize it was the plate. Like “did dude seriously decorate the plate with the feet of the bird he took those eggs from?!”
My wife would not forgive me for unaliving one of our hens to use as a plating element.
Had to do a double take and zoom in to see that they were just painted. I was confused and concerned for a second there.
No look what he did to that berd!
R u a lumberjack
No. But I am okay.
Gosh if that isn’t the best funking answer

Hahaha, holy hinkle-fluffle, now THAT was good…
There’s a days worth of eating in that. Looks tasty in fairness.
Personally I’d brown the sausage a bit more and get a softer scramble on the eggs, bit it looks good. Well done
The scrambled eggs was just the leftover from the French toast wash. Because it was a 2/3 cups milk to 3 eggs they are incredibly soft. Probably enough to be off-putting to most people.
The sausage was 6 minutes in an air fryer. It could be done more but it would have toughened up the meat a bit.
Ah yeah, those eggs would be moist. They didn’t have cinnamon and vanilla in them, did they? 😝
Also, I’ve never air fried sausage links before. I can see how that would probably get the whole sausage cooked through before much browning on the casing happens that way. When pan-searing, the casing gets much darker from direct contact with the pan, and it taken longer for that heat to conduct in the meat in the middle. I usually sear them and get them nice and brown, tossing them around to get even browning all over, and pull them at the first sign that casing is about to split.
Cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg.
Generally air frying anything sausage shaped is the absolute best way to get a snappy skin. But breakfast sausage is so small that once there is any browning on the outside the thing is cooked through and you risk over cooking. Maybe I could do a higher heat for less time but I’m busy with everything else so I set the time and walk away.
Regardless of how much it costs, it looks delicious.
As a middle-aged bloke, when I see stuff like this, there’s always a sort of undercurrent thinking of: “now how could -I- possibly replicate the deliciousness, based on my dietary restrictions?”
Hroom… hroomity-hroom…
- SCO (steel-cut oats) with some MSG, and little bits of ghee for the cheddar grits
- veggie sausage instead of meat sausage; unfortunately most veggie sausage is packed with so much salt and calories that it’s pretty-much a wash right there
- eggs, alright!! (especially ones that retain their chicken legs) (almost something out of Wallace & Grommit, eh?)
- french toast: well, shoot… that’s a hard one. okay, maybe some saturated Wasa™ bread baked in the AF, drenched in a Splenda-based syrup?
Lol… Actually, that sounds like the most disgusting meal in my life. Just have OP’s version, please!!
- Have OP’s version
- Be okay with the occasional splurge
Even cookie monster will tell you that cookies are a “some time” food.
Pardon any rudeness upon my part, but may I ask what you’re attempting to say right there, “CorsicanGuppy?”
They’re saying that even with pretty stringent dietary rules, as long as its rare, you can have a splurge occasionally.
Please don’t eat rare sausage. Make sure it’s fully cooked.
Sorry. I couldn’t resist.
Lol I wasn’t expecting that. Sometimes I make a comment to specifically tee up someone for a joke, but I didn’t see that one.
And I hate puns. But sometimes my need to make a joke based on deliberate misinterpretation overrides that.
I get it, I’ve been making dad jokes for 20 years. Double the amount of time I’ve been a dad.
When engineers cook
The oatmeal and chicken feet eggs are the only appetizing sounding things.
One day, before this crazy self-owned breakdown is done, this here will be the MEAL of KINGS.
When this self own is resolved I’ll be growing my own wheat for that bread. Pork will be a distant memory. I’ll have to grow sorghum for syrup.
And defend it!
Fortunately or unfortunately, that’s just how it’s going to be…
Brinner.
Daaamn, Turkledawg!
I don’t get it, where’s the deliciousness that you see?
Maybe everything tastes delicious, but it certainly does not look delicious.
