My eggs have style, Oaxacan style.

What happens when you keep pushing off Friday Night Mexican? You get Saturday Morning Mexican.  And if you push it off some more, you get Sunday Morning Mexican.  And if you push it off more than that, your reader gets angry. Yes, reader.  So these eggs are done Oaxacan style.  What makes them Oaxacan style? I'm not really sure.  Is it the cutting into ribbons? Is it the use of tomatoes?

This recipe came from "Everyday Mexican", which is not to be confused with Rick Bayless' "Mexican Everyday".  Seriously it's two different books.  One of the only things that this book has going for it is that it fits in your jacket pocket.  It has teeny tiny little print, no back story for the recipes, and completely lacks an author.  This is one of those books that companies crank out when they want to publish a book on topic X.  Regardless, it's where we got this week's recipe.  So strap in; it's over before you know it.

I'm not a rancher but here is breakfast

So there is a little second hand store across the road whose interior looks like an episode of hoarders.  If you have a clear idea of what you want, you can probably find it in there somewhere, as long as you're persistent. That's where we got Norma MacMillan's Tex Mex Cooking. Which is a 24 year old cookbook written (according to the book jacket) by a woman from the mid-west who has spent 18 years living in England.

Credibility not withstanding, what this book does have is beautiful pictures, simple recipes, and a lot of those basic things that trendier cook books wouldn't bother covering.  You can find recipes for refried beans, corn and flour tortillas, and today's recipe for Huevos Rancheros.
