For some reason we call Real Egg from Costco 'fake egg' even though on the carton it says Real Egg and is made with real egg. It is not a real egg in a shell; obviously that is the reason we call it fake—it’s something blended up in a carton. So now for breakfast we have ‘fake egg’ and ‘fake sausage’, Morningstar sausage patties not made with any beef or pork or offal of any type but with grains, and Trop50 the orange liquid that is not orange juice but an 'orange juice beverage' and now is 'fake juice.' So the conversation is:
"Do you want some fake egg?"
"Sure."
"Fake sausage?"
"Yeah."
Hold up the bottle. "Fake juice?"
"Okay."
Not really an inspiring morning. It might be the most important meal of the day but it is starting to feel a bit disingenuous, and I don’t know if that is the best way to start a confident, uncompromising, take no prisoners, be the best you can be, authentic day . . .
Well, at least for the scramble the onion, garlic, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, and whatever else is in the crisper is real . . .
Someday you and John should have a "fastoff" Your Fakefast versus his Breakfast. Yours will win on speed and low calorie count, his will win on taste and rouse-ability. His mom made sausage and biscuits not only for fuel, but as a gentle alarm clock. Breakfast is one of Aubrey and Eryn's favorite things about visiting their Mimi and it never fails to get them out of bed in a happy mood.
