1 tiny branch of fresh basil if available (makes 2tbl spoon of fresh chopped up basil )
2oz of butter
a tomato or two
a few leaves of (what's available) lettuce

Basic putting it all together:
Put the ½ cup of corn oil in a pan that will then fit 2lb of potatoes.
Heat the pan and fry the chopped up potatoes until they are almost cooked and put in the chopped up bacon .
Meanwhile, as the potatoes and bacon are cooking in the pan , the 3 eggs are beaten and ½ cup of milk plus salt & pepper, and cinnamon have all been blended into the mixture bowl.
Then drain the corn oil out of the pan , leaving just enough to keep sizzling but doesn't flood the pan so to speak, then pour the egg mixture into the pan , and while still stirring, put the chopped up spring onion and basil . Stop the stirring and leave the pan to set the fried potato cake . Then put the butter in, let it melt in and turn the stove off .
Get a serving plate to tip the whole pan over.
It can be halved for 2 or cut into 3 depending on the appetite.
Serve or garnished with sliced tomatoes and lettuce . (Breakfast could begin with a glass of fresh orange juice before this main meal , then finish with fresh brewed coffee )

Have a great Sunday Breakfast! And Happy New Year 2008

PS, did you know that cinnamon can somehow cure cancer? I just looked it up.

Yes, i like it when i have extra information from anyone, like one way back a few years ago, one of the simpleinternet recipe i received was with extra info, it was about Rice -Wine that was not to be mistaken with Sake . Thank you for that, even if i didn't make it to get back and gave a comment.

1. Pear Mousse submitted by butterflydog 3 very large ripe ( for example Royal Riviera ) pears or 6 smaller ones 1/2 cup butter melted 1 cup sugar 2 Tbs fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup brandy 1 cup heavy cream We got a gift box of Royal Riviera Pears. We loved them ripe but I also made pear mousse and some other pear recipes. The mousse is especially nice served over chocolate cake as the colors and flavors blend nicely. Peel and core pears and chop coarsely. Place pears in pot with sugar and butter and lemon juice and cook and stir over low heat 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly and place in blender and puree smooth. Add the brandy and mix well. Cool completely. Whip heavy cream and blend into cooled pear mixture. Chill well for several hours. Serve in dessert glasses and garnish with a mint sprig. Or serve to garnish chocolate cake Yield 6 servings.

Made these for my vegan friends and relatives. These are very moist and tasty. Sift dry ingredients together.

Place in greased muffin tins and bake center oven rack, 400F until light browned and tested done, about 20 to 25 minutes. Makes about 10 muffins.

4. Cheesecake Flambé submitted by butterflydog Your own favorite cheese cake recipe OR 3 , 8 oz pkg cream cheese 2 cups sour cream 4 eggs 1 cup sugar 2 tsp vanilla 2 tsp fresh lemon juice dash salt 1 can of cherry or blueberry pie filling or your favorite topping Flambé: 1 Tbs lemon extract Here is my New Years dessert for this year. Just a twist on a standard recipe. Happy New Year 2008 to all.!!!! Dust a buttered 9 inch springform pan with graham cracker crumbs or use a graham cracker- nut crust of your choice. Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy. Beat room temperature cream cheese and sour cream with salt and vanilla until smooth . Gently bend in the egg mixture. Pour into cheesecake pan . Bake 350 F for crust fill pan and 325 F for no crust filled pan and bake 45 to 60 minutes OR until cheesecake appears set. Cool well and then chill for several hours- best over night . When well chilled and ready to serve, add your topping . To Flambé: When ready to serve: pour about one tablespoon lemon extract over the topping. Ignite with a long match and let extract burn out. Note: I am doing a cheese cake flambé for New Years. I never use a crust - just dust the buttered pan with crumbs. One doesn't have to use lemon extract either. . Warm up some rum or brandy instead and careful when you flambé.
