We are out of normal breakfast foods, so I had to improvise.

Last tablespoon of bacon grease Stick of butter 3/4 cup of flour Salt Pepper Fennel seeds Thyme Basil

Not sure if the kids will eat it on toast, but I thought it was pretty good.

The fennel seeds came off a bit strong.

    OMFG GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES those were the best. Years later I found a restaurant that made a great Welsh Rarebit and it was an interesting variation, unfortunately they later changed the recipe.

      I had to look it up. I could make a cheddar bechamel with lager, a bit of mustard, paprika, Worcestershire sauce. Not sure what else… I could put it on Texas toast.

        Wait, this is for kids? It’s always a little dicey cooking with alcohol for kids. I was once making vermicelli with onions and peas for friends when I realized I should have asked them if it was OK to serve their kids a sauce that was flavored with white wine.

          My kids are big, but I was sure that cooking removed most of the alcohol. I just checked, and it looks like the sauce would be about 2% alcoholic.

          I could get some non alcoholic beer. I’m looking for taste and not booze.

            Yeah I also heard that cooking removed most of the alcohol, but some religions are strictly against consuming any amount of alcohol. Luckily my friends weren’t that strict.
