Breakfast: Warm toast and Breakstone Butter

[Sqwertz]

Yeah, my ASS! Like the average toast stays warm for more than
15.7 seconds after it comes out of the toaster, even without
applying butter.

I think I'll have a big 'ol bowl of freshly ground "ham sausage"
instead.

..using the leftover shank meat (tired of bean soup - still have
some from Christmas) and some reserved pork butt fat and trim from
the freezer which I cured 32 hours with pink salt #1 (no nitrate,
only nitrite) and black pepper.

3.5lbs made 16 3.5oz patties. I think I'll call them....
"Ham-Burgers". That's a catchy name, eh?

Add cheese and they'll be, "Ham and Cheese Burgers"

Pat the grind into English muffin-sized rounds, freeze, bag,
freeze again. Dispense as needed.

Total cost was about $1.10/lb

Try hot toast and better butter.

You're holding me to higher standard than yourself?

"Speaking of toast, homemade still warm with Breakstones salted
butter with folgers noir for my start right now".

You'll never see me eating buttered toast unless there's ham
and/or egg in there and/or cheese in there, too.

Homemade bread still warm. Different than a loaf of sliced that can last a month.
If I recall, it was my rye.
As for the butter, it was out and room temp. The better stuff is cold until up to bat.
You do make bread, right?
If you make your own butter I'll slither away.

What, if any, spices did you add to your 'sausage'?

[Sqwertz]

Since this was with smoked and cured ham, it was just black
pepper, garlic, and a little sage (for that "breakfast" taste).
Had it been plain pork butt there would have been a larger variety
of spices and in larger quantities.

Ok sounds good enough.
