Yesterday I saw a post where someone was asking about breakfast ideas on one of the Facebook groups where I’m a member. Some of the suggestions were the usual\u00a0peanut butter on toast with banana<\/em>, which is a regular staple for me. But then I saw someone mention they wanted to get a breakfast sandwich machine…<\/p>\n

Wait, what?!?!<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yes, you too can be lazy (or\u00a0a time management keener\u00a0as I like to see it) and have a breakfast sandwich made in just five minutes instead of waiting a terribly long 10 minutes (or however long it takes you to cook an egg and assemble a sandwich.<\/p>\n

After a quick Google search, I discovered that Hamilton Beach has a sandwich maker that’s not costly and I found some decent YouTube reviews (who has time to read when you can just watch or listen to a review and see\u00a0the magic happen). Further Google searching allowed me to discover that Wal-Mart carries this mythical invention<\/a> and they even had stock available in the greater St. John’s location!<\/p>\n

Alright,<\/em> you say.\u00a0Big deal. It’s just a glorified set of hot metal plates, right?<\/i> No actually, you’re wrong. Last night I bought one of these sandwich makers and decided that this morning would be its big debut.<\/p>\n

This magical invention made my breakfast super fast and took very little effort.<\/p>\n

I have decided that what I made is not in fact a breakfast sandwich, it is in fact a breakfast sammich<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

See for yourself!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Unpacked within a minute of opening the box. It was fully assembled and just needed to have the metal plates and anything else that touches food washed.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

My ingredients for zee sammich. Clockwise from top: English muffin, a large egg, 15g of cheddar cheese, 25g of black forest ham, and a dollop of homemade spicy mayo.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

After just four minutes in the sandwich maker, I haz a sammich! And it even looks like food!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sammich up close: note that the egg is pretty thin in the middle. I think it’s because the top of the English muffin was a bit small and pushed the egg to the sides. It was still very yummy.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The sammich’s deliciousness potential is endless. I want to try using pre-cooked bacon strips at some point or even start with fresh bacon bits that we already have in the fridge.<\/p>\n

\n

On an unrelated note, today is my birthday (I used my birthday as an excuse to buy the sammich maker, so I guess this is still somewhat related).<\/p>\n

It’s amazing how connected our lives can be online. I went to Google a link for this post and what I saw was that the Google Doodle was looking rather celebratory.<\/p>\n

I first thought, “Geez, what famous person is this doodle about? The inventor of cake?”<\/em> When I moused over the image, all of my questions were answered…<\/p>\n

\"Thanks<\/a>

Thanks Google… although this was a little creepy at first…<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
