Back to my Breakfastary Starting Rotation and back to Ella's Neo Classical American Cooking (see last 'blog-entry from January 10th, 2015). 

There were a few other interesting choices from which to choose (of course, those choices that remain un-chosen are always the most disappointing) on this weekend's "Brunch" menu. coconut pancakes with a pineapple compote ~ Maple Grove Farms-premium maple syrup, Vermont. I could easily have gotten that one this morning. open faced omelette with grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers, minced garlic, and Muenster cheese. Also, another one with a lot of ingredients that I like. Or, lastly, folded omelette with bacon, grilled onions, avocados, sun dried tomato, and goat cheese, which I would have ordered sans les morts chair de porc en décomposition, naturellement.

I knew right away that I was going to love this one when I saw that it included two of my favourite fruits: asparagus AND Brussels (which is the correct spelling, of course, Monsieur Van Damme) sprouts. I was very happy to see that it included a ton (well, maybe that is a bit of an aggrandisement, but at least 907 kilogrammes) of asparagus; there were probably four to five spears throughout the mess. Along with the carrots and lots of melted Havarti, this made for a great combination.

Once again I went with the house baked honey oat raisin bread for my toast choice.

For condimentary supplements, Ella's has just the Original Red and Green Jalapeño Tabasco® Brand Pepper Sauce to offer. I just used some of my own The Wiltshire Chilli Farm smoked Chipotle chilli sauce generously all over the heaping pile (Thanks once again, Greg & Cindy!). I have always felt that chipotle and potatoes go great together, but I discovered that it goes nicely with les choux de Bruxelles, aussi. I also used some of their house made strawberry jam on the house baked bread/toast.
