Fine Dining


What you are seeing in the foreground is the last part of a MacDonald's Egg McMuffin.  I had not had an Egg McMuffin for perhaps 30 years, no kidding.  (Egg McMuffins started in 1972.)  A couple of years ago I was in Northfield, Minnesota, and needed a breakfast I could take with me while driving (!) to Minneapolis.  So I grabbed a McMuffin and it was really delicious.  So cut to Tuesday, here on Long Island.  We have a Tuesday morning ritual which started when I retired.  We go out for coffee and a donut every Tuesday.  So we did that, and then while at Dunkin' Donuts, I said "I want to go to McDonalds and get an Egg McMuffin!"  So that's what we did this morning.  It is still delicious!

I could never get into the Egg McMuffin because I found them to be too dry tasting. But in recent years, MacDonald's has improved their coffee. My quick breakfast of choice on road trips, if Dunkin' Donuts is not available, is a Hardee's (known as Carl's on the west coast) sausage biscuit. But nothing in the morning beats a real New York City cheese danish and fresh hot coffee!

PS: I had meant to post a comment on your porch project. After scraping, sanding, etc. do you plan to refinish with oil based paint? Oil based paints, I believe, have a tendency to crack and peel over time. Have you thought about using an epoxy reinforced latex paint? If you do, I would suggest first priming with a penetrating latex stain pigmented to your finished color.
