I am a firm believer that one great meal should follow another.  And nothing plays the supporting role better than a dope breakfast after a dinner of “barely legal pork-belly” (stay tuned for upcoming post). Be it a breakfast burrito with some of Satan’s Hellfire Green Chile (shout out to the Budros Gali and Andrew), or since  we are celebrating the local -Boomer -season here in Santa Barbara let it be Chanterelles and eggs (and lots of butter). It is just that simple, 3 ingredients, (OK 4,because we do count good black coffee) eggs, butter, and “the Champagne of mushrooms”.

I like to serve the eggs “fluffy scrambled” (that means I add whole milk or even heavy cream mmmm.) accompanied by a crustee french baguette, and let’s be honest the eggs are really a vehicle for delivering your favorite hot sauce (ours being The Blue Sky Cafe’s very own blend of peppers) so enjoy your Sunday with what Uta has proclaimed as her Best Western Breakee.

In celebration of a great man turning 60 years young, I would like to acknowledge the idea of what he calls his “Birthday Month”.

As part of Tony’s HBM, he has already been to Females On Fire, his daughter’s 5 course, 5 wines, and 5 chefs, event to support Women in the culinary arts and in this Foodie-spirit of Birthday-month I am posting 3 Tony Lucero original recipes that have been a serious thread in my life and that I think my dad would be happy to share with you all.  These recipes have helped me survive grueling Colorado winters and Sunny Santa Barbara ones as well. So everyone lift a shot of Tequila and help me wish my dad a Happy Birthday Month. Cheers!
