Breakfast Surprise!

by the Provident Woman | December 12th, 2009

I woke up to a great surprise yesterday. My honey was fixing breakfast.

I was excited.

Others were nervous about it. This is foreign territory. Daddy doesn’t cook all that often. They forget that when he does he is a great cook.

He cooked me my own bacon. No, not the whole plate. See the one on the right? He left it on longer than the rest so it’s extra crispy. Just the way I like it.

I couldn’t believe how many eggs the man cooked.

Doesn’t that look yummy? Eggs cooked in the bacon grease. Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!

I gained 5 pounds just watching him cook.

Doesn’t he look like a pro?

And yes, he stood that way the whole time he cooked. He wasn’t posing for the camera. He didn’t want to get his work attire dirty. He refuses to wear one of my many aprons.

It must be a man thing.

    How sweet of him! I always have to make my own bacon too. Or I’m mean and just make it all extra-crunchy.

    Have you made him a “manly” apron?

    My DH is currently making breakfast for two of our three (not pancakes like we usually do on weekends, because we have a morning kids Christmas party to go to), while I am supposed to be getting our third up and let him nurse.

    I guess I should go do that, eh?

    Have a great weekend …

    Only one thing better than having someone cook you breakfast….if they serve it while you are in bed!!

    I wish my husband would cook dinner more often! Before we got married, sometimes he’d get up before me (no idea how this didn’t wake me), go to the store, come home, and make biscuits and gravy for us.

    I was wondering why he was cooking in dress clothes! That makes what he did even more amazing! This is one great guy – he’s a keeper.

    Pretty nice! I am impressed. My husband doesn’t do that but he is so good at so many other things! He’s a keeper too.

    John cooks a few things. One of them being breakfast. I don’t know, he just cooks breakfast a lot. Different breakfast items, but no matter what it is, if it involves eggs, he cooks like 12 dozen of them. Why? Is that a man thing too?

    You know…my husband does the same thing when he makes eggs…there must be something very alluring about those little beauties that draws men to them. But, hey. I’d take 12 dozen eggs *not* cooked by me over a 1/2 dozen eggs I *had* to cook any time.
    Very sweet, Provident Husband. =)

    He cooked bacon in dress clothes and didn’t have to change before he went to work? He must be some kind of superhero. I can’t even read this post without getting bacon grease splattered all over me. Mmmm, bacon.
