Breakfast Buddies: Chorizo Hash

This weekend, Thatboy made me breakfast.  Better than that, he let me sleep in for a little bit and THEN he made me breakfast.

It reminded me I might have been slacking a bit in the breakfast department.  You see, I rarely make Thatboy breakfast.  During the week, I eat with Thatbaby and Thatboy usually skips breakfast.  On the weekends, we all eat together, but Thatboy usually makes himself a bowl of cereal and I go with yogurt.

This is a grown up, manly man kind of breakfast.  It's got meat and heat - both from the chorizo.  Thatboy finds it incredibly satisfying to pop his yolk and watch it run all over his potatoes.  I have to admit in taking the same pleasure.  Thatbaby gets his own version of this - scrambled eggs with potatoes and squash.  It's not as spicy, but then I deal with less tears.
