Good Book & Breakfast in Hello

I started Gunpowder Empire (finally) at my doc appointment yesterday. He usually has an hour (or more) wait time. I got into it. So when I couldn’t sleep last night I picked it back up and over the course of a few hours finished it. You can easily tell it’s a YA book but it kept me intrigued till the end.

In the mid 21st century we’ve basically tapped out most resources including oil. That is until two scientist discover the technology to travel into alternate realities. Posing as merchants, the future people starts going into said alternate dimensions trading trivial things like pocket watches, Swiss army knives, mirrors, etc in exchange for grain and other natural resources for that society to survive.

In Gunpowder Empire, the Roman Empire never collapsed. However, they never had an Industrial Revolution. 21st century in this reality is on par with living in the 17th century. I’ll spare spoilers just to say that now I want to finish this series. Especially being the history nerd that I am.

Egg and sausage burrito

2eggs, beaten
4 sausage links
1/4 C. Shredded cheddar
1 flour tortilla
Hot sauce, salsa optional

I usually cook the sausage over medium heat first so I can let them degrease them on a napkin

Add cheddar to egg mixture, in a veggie oil sprayed (or buttered) pan pour in cheese egg mixture. With a spoon keep scraping from out to in as you see the egg start to solidify. Before egg is almost done remove from heat, still mixing. Egg will continue to cook till solid but this will prevent burning.

Pour finished eggs into the center of tortilla. Add 2 links on bottom and top. Season with hot sauce or a salsa (optional)
Tuck in ends and roll it up tight and enjoy! Protein!

Yeah yeah I know. Super easy. I’m a dude.

My eye feels tons better.
