Good morning, all the clocks have been reset and a new day has dawned. Coffee and tea are now being served and I am whipping up a good old Alberta Breakfast.
Fried eggs over easy with home made hash browns with green onions, back bacon, side bacon and both beef and pork sausages. Toast and hot biscuits with butter and home made jams are on the sideboard along with the OJ and some fresh tomato juice. Don't forget to sample the fruit platter to compliment your breakfast, and for those of you who are really hungry, there is also a big pot of hot porridge with brown sugar and half and half cream.
You're not usually this talkative this early in the morning. Did you have some words left over from your column?
Thanks for breakfast.
The clock on my computer is still the same as the battery clock on the wall, so all's right with the world. Now I just have to figure out the tv schedule and I'm good to go - the tv schedule all changes twice a year - we don't.
Afternoon all. Don, thanks for this great Alberta breakfast. Where did you learn to cook?

I first learned to cook from my Mother. Then back in the early 70s, I shadowed a former navy cook at the local legion and learned a tone of tricks. Then of course there were the boy scouts lessons and all those trail rides during my cowboy/rodeo days phase where one lived in a horse trailer and cooked for oneself for weeks on end while running the circuit.
Good morning everyone. Don thanks for the wonderful breakfast. All the clocks have been set and the world is continuing to turn on it's axis. Have not felt the loss of the hour yet, but I am sure an afternoon nap will be needed to compensate for it.
Don, yes, I recall reading about your chuck wagon days and your Calgary Stampede exploits in a book my wife's father had entitled "Great Men of Alberta".

Gosh, Don, just reading that list made me hungry. I think I'll have to get a 'real Alberta breakfast' when I'm in Banff on Tuesday.
If anyone is wondering: Melissa's Misteak, across from the Banff Park Lodge, makes the BEST breakfast in Banff. Mind you, it's hard to get a bad meal in Banff.

Yep Mellisa's is my place of choice as is the Banff Park Lodge which incidently is managed by a good friend from my days back in McMurray, Frank Denoudin.
But don't miss the St. James Irish Gate pub across from the Cascade Centre for some fine Irish grub:
The St. James Gate is owned by Guinness, a company that knows a thing or two about Irish pubs. Newly created to resemble a traditional draft house, this lively pub also offers an extensive menu of bar meals to accompany its selection of beers and ales. Halibut fish and chips are a specialty, as are traditional meat pies and sandwiches.
Oh, Don, I've been going to Banff for a conference in March every year for the past 25 years, so I know all about the St. James (and the Maple Leaf, and the Magpie, etc., etc., etc.). Melissa's is just my choice for breakfast. (You can ask your friend Frank about the 'Operator's show' which takes over the place. I'm sure we traumatise most of the other guests).
