Last week we experienced a restaurant that was so bad Mike had to go on vacation. As he cruises the oceans on a big fancy cruise ship, eating himself silly I was stuck at home to venture out.
Being it was Mike's turn to buy, I went for the free breakfast at the Holidy Inn Express, they don't ask for a room key or anything Just walk in and eat. I had Highly processed eggs, standard sausage, cinnamon rolls, orange juice & good coffee.
They receive no rating because I ate for free & they are a chain. It was clean....and again FREE!

Home Fries
Who Invented Home Fries?
Country Ham
Note: This week I learned the proper way to cook Country Ham. Simmer the sliced ham in coffee, not to long though because it will become tough. Then Presto! You also have Red Eye Gravy. The Southerner I know says his grits are great with his red eye gravy...Thats why they lost the "War of Nothern Agression" (They are still fighting the Civil War) Who in their right mind would eat salty ham and then make a salty gravy to place over equally bad grits!
Country hams are salt- and nitrate-cured for about a month and may be hardwood (usually hickory and red oak) smoked, then aged for several months to a year. Smoking is not legally mandated for making country ham. Some types of country ham (such as the "salt-and-pepper ham" of North Carolina) are not smoked. The smoking process turns the meat a much redder color than other hams. They are usually sold in stores unrefrigerated as whole bone-in hams packaged in rough cotton bags, with identifying markings printed on the bags.

Sausage
Sausage is a logical outcome of efficient butchery. Sausage-makers put to use meat and animal parts that are edible and nutritious, but not particularly appealing, such as scraps, organ meats, blood, and fat, and that allow the preservation of meat that can not be consumed immediately. These were typically salted and stuffed into a tubular casing made from the cleaned intestine of the animal producing the characteristic cylindrical shape. Hence, sausages, puddings and salami are amongst the oldest of prepared foods, whether cooked and eaten immediately or dried to varying degrees.
Hash Browns
Who really eats this stuff?
Hash browns or hashed browns are a simple potato preparation in which potato pieces are pan-fried after being shredded, julienned, diced, or riced. In some cultures, hash browns or hashed browns can refer to any of these preparations, while in others it may refer to one specific preparation. In parts of the UK, hash browns can mean fried left over mashed potato. Hash browns are a staple breakfast food at diners in North America, where they are often fried on a large common cooktop or grill.
Toast
Toast is sliced bread which has been browned by exposure to dry heat ("toasted"). This browning reaction is a form of Maillard reaction. Toasting warms the bread, making it more pleasant to eat for some, and makes it crisp such that it holds toppings more securely. Toasting is also a common method of making stale bread palatable. Toast is often served with butter, cheese, marmalade, or any number of other toppings. Toast is a typical breakfast food.
Toast
We Like Rye Toast. Our toast should be dense & rounded in shape. Crispy but not dry!
