Breakfast Car Bomb

So after eating so many Army meals for so many days my taste buds have begun to die off and everything from chicken nuggets to spaghetti has begun to taste the same. I rarely even eat at the chow hall any more. The smell in there makes me want to vomit. The walk is ridiculous and the lines are even worse for such poor food. Seriously, death row inmates eat better. The one meal I do make an effort to eat there is breakfast. But with the schedule we are running breakfast seems to be my dinner most of the time. Through out my time here in Iraq however, I have developed my own breakfast meal that I have grown to love. I call it the “Breakfast Car Bomb”

“Breakfast Car Bomb”

Ingredients-
- One serving of scrambled eggs (Must be fake eggs made from powder and fake milk)
- One and a half biscuits ( The softer the better, but "Rock Biscuits" work also)
- One Hash brown (The crispier the better)
- Two Pieces of Bacon (Must be fake bacon and over cooked by like 30 minutes)
- One Big scoop of gravy with sausage tid-bits

Mixing-
- Place the scrambled eggs on the plate first
- Next place the three biscuit halves over the eggs
- On top on that place a layer of cut up hash browns and bacon
- Over everything poor on the gravy evenly coating the entire pile.

Serving-
Prior to eating cut up all the biscuits and stir it all around in to one big mess. Careful not to flip it out all over the table or let the gravy run over the edge. This is a common problem and is very wasteful and not approved of by others.

This meal has become a staple to my rigid diet. It has helped keep this soldier in the fight throughout the year. It has all the food groups except fruit. But fruit is not really a food group, its just there because it’s colorful. So next time you have the family together for Sunday brunch. Fix them up and Breakfast Car Bomb.

“Cause nothing gets your day going like a car bomb!”
