An Oldie But A Goodie

OK... so while I work on fixing the chocolate chip cookie recipe, I figured I would leave you all with an old reliable favorite.  It's pretty simple, I mean all the ingredients that you need to make this sandwich are listed in it's name for goodness sake.  Say it with me now... Ham, Egg, and Cheese.   What you may not know though is how to bring this old standby to the next level.   And for that, I have four letters for you... B-A-Y-S.   Best.  English.  Muffins.  EVER.  Bays Original English Muffins are like little clouds of happiness in the morning.   You know these english muffins are special because they don't hang out with the rest of the bread products in the regular bread aisle, they live in the refrigerated section near the eggs, butter, and cheese.  That in itself should clue you in to the fact that these things were made to be eaten for breakfast, even the grocery store pairs these english muffins with eggs.  Unfortunately, it took me a few years to come to this realization... I always stared at these lone refrigerated english muffins but usually assumed that similar to refrigerated bagels, the refrigerated english muffins must be sub-par to 'normal' english muffins located in the bread aisle.  Boy, was I wrong.  So let me tell you the story of how one day, I decided to place the classic red and white package in my grocery cart.

One sunny afternoon in July 2009, my lovely sister Jacqui was nice enough to fly all the way up to Virginia to help her little sister move into her new townhouse.  The girls worked tirelessly all weekend, painting two bedrooms in four hours (pretty good, eh?), and moving an exorbitant amount of crap from the smallest apartment ever to this lovely place I now call home.  We were so tired from that weekend's activities, we couldn't even bear the thought of walking all the way across the grocery store to get our normal english muffins when these Bays English Muffins were so conveniently located next to the eggs we were already planning to purchase.  So we took a chance and grabbed the closest package we could get our hands on.  To our delight, upon toasting we found that the Bays english muffins were far softer, far chewier, and far superior in every way possible to what we normally associated with the english muffin product.  Since that day, the two of us have exclusively purchased the Bays english muffins as they are truly the best we've ever tasted.  True story.

Life Lesson #84  - Sometimes laziness is awesome.

Hmmm... I just dedicated two whole paragraphs to english muffins and have said the words 'english muffin' fourteen times...  Anyways, getting back the the point of this post.  Ham, egg, cheese, and a Bays english muffin.  Breakfast of champions.  That's all I have to say about that.
