Wind and Scrapple

The morning was rainy and fairly windy.

By afternoon the rain stopped, but the wind roared.

Wind is difficult to capture, but it sounds like winter outside.

I don’t expect most of you to understand our supper – but some of you will, and those will either like or dislike it.

We do not have eggs for breakfast, so enjoy them for an evening meal now and then.  Scrapple is rarely a side to our eggs, but I discovered a pack in the freezer the other day, and put it in the refrigerator to thaw.  It was probably given to us by Jere and Kristen after a friend butchered a pig last winter.

Cerwin enjoys scrapple, but I have to be hungry and in the right mood to add a slice to my plate.  I was apparently hungry and in the right mood, because it tasted good tonight. 

 Before anyone asks:

Scrapple – skrapp’l – is pork trimmings cooked with cornmeal and seasonings, formed into a loaf, and cooled.  It is sliced and fried before serving.
