Rudi's Organic Bakery

I'm a big breakfast sandwich guy. I like to make them with eggs, english muffins and cheese, sheep or goat cheese of course! I also use local, organic eggs but that's not the point. My point is that I have found a new, favorite english muffin. I've always been a fan of the Thomas' 100% whole wheat english muffins because there are no refined, enriched flours; however, the ingredients list is still quite long. But I think I found a new favorite/

Nutrionally, Rudi's Organic multigrain english muffin with flax is quite close in values to the Thomas' 100% whole wheat muffin, but in the taste and texture category, Rudi kicks Tom's ass! And more importantly, this organic muffin has fewer questionable ingredients in them which makes me feel better about what I'm eating.

You can find Rudi's Organic mutligrain english muffins yourself at your local Whole Foods or online at http://www.rudisbakery.com - and for the record, I have received nothing from Rudi's to make me want to talk about them; I simply think that these are superior english muffins!

A Breakfast Tailgate

Thanks to Hurricane/Tropical Storm Hannah, the Jimmy Buffett concert at Great Woods was moved up from 8pm to 3pm to avoid some of the heavy rains. This means that me and my friends would be tailgating for breakfast and an early lunch instead of lunch and dinner. This meant that our menu had to change!

We decided to start off our tailgate with some bloody marys and ham and egg sandwiches. In addition to my Weber charcoal grill, I brought along my favorite non-stick frying pan to cook the eggs. We grilled up some ham steak, fried up some eggs, added some muenster cheese and grilled buns (not pictured) and we had ourselves a delicious tailgate breakfast.

We ended up drinking our lunch - captain morgan and coke - and saved the marinated rib eyes, teriyaki vegetables, and grilled potatoes for another day. Speaking of which - hey Mike, how were the steaks? Hows the hangover?

Thanks for another great show at Great Woods, Jimmy Buffett! Had a blast in the rain!
