Dad's Day

Aren't crock pots grand? Saturday night we whipped up egg casserole - yummy stuff, though it is actually quite hideous. Kinda like egg hash.

Crock Pot Egg Casserole – Cook overnight
Ingredients

1 Dozen Eggs
1 Cup of Milk
1 Package of Potatoes O’Brien approximately 32 Ounce
1 Pound of Bacon Cooked, Drained and cut into pieces.
1 Pound of Sausage, Browned and Drained
1/2 Cup of Green Onions, Diced
1 Medium Onion Chopped
3/4ths Pound of Cheddar Cheese
1/4th Cup of Parmesan Cheese
1 Tablespoon of Prepared Mustard
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions
I used a liner and sprayed with Pam.
  1. You will do about 3 layers.
  2. Start with potatoes, bacon, sausage, onions and cheddar cheese (do this 3 times).
  3. Although the layers don’t matter too much, make sure bacon is not on the top, it cooks better underneath other food.
  4. Make sure your final top is the last of the cheddar cheese.
  5. Beat the eggs, milk, mustard, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese together.
  6. Pour over the layers.
  7. Cook on low for 10-12 hours or until the eggs are set.
  8. Cook overnight so it will be ready in the morning.
We had a nice Father's Day breakfast. Jud and Kara showed up a little later and a little hung over, or at least tired from a night at the wedding. I liked hearing about their night. They had to take off all too soon for the drive back to St. Louis.

Sunday night was the big show! We started at Court Avenue Brewing Company for supper and a drink. It was a lovely evening and we got a nice table street side and the waitress was good - unlike the night before when we had grumpy Gertie.

We got rocked at We Will Rock You. It wasn't the best show or production I've ever seen.
 But it was fun. Our heads were bobbing, toes were tapping (even Betsy and Paul's). There was some clever dialogue and the musicians were good. The female lead had some pipes. By the end we were all clapping and singing to Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm glad we went!

Monday was shopping day. We went for a walk in the 'hood first. We headed to Waukee for our Jethro's Jones. It was most excellent. (I ate the other half of my sannie for lunch Wednesday and it was still good).

That night was burger night with mom's baked bean recipe. Sweet. We watched a movie on Netflix about an art forger. It was an early night because all too soon it was 4 a.m. Tuesday. I took Cindy to the airport - not as hard to say goodbye when I get to see her again in a couple weeks. Betsy hung out with Odie during the day and then she too was off. Paul was in charge of delivery, while I was in Clear Lake working.

I'm glad my sissies came to visit us in Ioway. Love 'em!
