The straight dope on T-town
Forza has emerged from the depths of coffee anonymity with me. They have done exactly two things to win me over from a non-loyal, post-Starbuck’s, nomadic wandering.
First, they offered 24oz. drinks. Thank god. Often 20oz. is not enough.
Second, they began serving grilled breakfast sandwiches prepared by Pacific Grill. These are the very best breakfast sandwiches in Tacoma, and nothing else comes close.
Ordered together, they become a satiating force of apocalyptic proportion.
It almost seems too easy. But we often take things for granted, so I’m gonna roll with it. Maybe everybody doesn’t know how to make a breakfast sandwich? If by chance this is you, here ya go:
– Fry thin, ground sausage patty in a pan until crispy.
– Melt cheese on sausage patty for last couple minutes of cooking.
– Lightly toast english muffin.
– Place cooked sausage and toasted, open-faced muffin on a plate in a warm oven.
– Scramble an egg and add to finish off the sandwich
Other great substitutions include bacon, ham, sausage links, lettuce, mushrooms, tomatoes, cream cheese, steak, hamburger.. just about anything. Meat or egg must be in there to officially qualify as breakfast at my house, but to each his own.
The other day I was flipping channels and stumbled upon the credits and outtakes of an 80’s/90’s movie that I’ve never seen before. Molly Ringwald was in it, but I’m not clear on whether or not she was Claire or a new character.. Paul Gleason was in the movie as Vice Principal Richard Vernon. This is what really got my attention. Somehow, some way this is a cousin of the Breakfast Club. I have no idea how much or how little they overlap, but there is definitely a connection. I flipped over to the TV Guide channel but it was too late – already moved on to next time slot. Before I got around to looking online at TV Guide, I was sidetracked by various and sundry tasks – at any rate I never got back around to figuring out the truth about this movie. If anybody can help me, please hold out your hand of knowledge.
