I love cornmeal pancakes! So, what did you decide to make?

Good question. We extra large eggs from a local vegetable stand. They
are always brown, but they are 35 cents cheaper there than in the
grocery store.

I realize that it is too late for today, but some time you should try
oatmeal pancakes. Just add some quick cooking oats to the the batter and
cut down on the liquid, or you can add some leftover cooked porridge.

Home Fries is why I always try and bake some extra Potatoes.

:-)

Or before I go to bed throw several potatoes in the nuker and start it.

In the morning I have nice fully cooked cool potatoes ready to slice and
dice.

Would those be similar to fried mush? I love fried mush.

Speaking of great breakfasts, on party-out nights, we used to go to
breakfast and order granny omelets - hashbrowns on the bottom, eggs
omelet-style (with ham or bacon) on top, and melted cheese over all.
To die for - probably, literally, although I'm still here. Those were
the good ol' days.

Jill, I keep Ore-Ida frozen hash browns or O'Brien potatoes around for
just such occasions.
