The afore-mentioned bog breakfast

This blog is a bit of a cheat.  If you read my last blog, it was about "bog," and I mentioned that the only thing my in-laws love more than a good bog party is eating the leftovers for breakfast.  Oh, and it is yummy!  It's just not terribly detailed.  You may have been able come up with this yourself.

Bog Breakfast
Leftover bog
Eggs

Begin by prepping your leftovers.  We do this right after the bog, as part of the clean-up.  Basically, crack open all the crab legs, peel the shrimp, and cut the corn off the cob.  Additionally, you'll want to dice the shrimp and break the potatoes and sausage down into bite-sized pieces.

Now, there are a couple ways to do this:
1) Combine EVERYTHING (including the eggs) and cook it.  This results in what I mistakenly grew up calling an omelette.  It's really just eggs scrambled with deliciousness.  (What so many omelets turn into…)

2) Warm the leftover bog mixture gently (low heat--overcooked shrimp is not pleasant).  Fry up some eggs and serve them on the side.  Add toast, too, if you like.  This is probably the preferred way in our family.  It gives us a little more control over how much of what we're eating.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  [Unless it's lunch or dinner time.]  And this is a FABULOUS breakfast.  Who doesn't want to wake up to shrimp, crab, potatoes, and all that delicious?  This is even better than pancakes.
