Breakfast of Champions

This morning I was up and dressed and out of the apartment early enough to it up McDonald's for breakfast.  Yes, McDonald's is gross and yes I know I'm gross for going there, but if you could see the love and devotion in my soul for the miraculous creation that is the McGriddle you'd forgive me this one teeny tiny indulgence.

 It's a thing of beauty really.  First, it's scrambled eggs, but not really.  Scrambled eggs but better because they are all together in a blanket hugging two strips of bacon and covered with melted American cheese.  I think it's American, could be any bright orange processed cheese.  Sound god?  Yes?  It gets better!  Just when you think all you have to do is grab the bun and take a bite, there is no bun.  Instead it's two silver dollar pancakes injected with pancake syrup.  Sweet flavor explosion.  There's truly nothing better in the world.

In the book I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max, he talks about a friend of his who is obsessed with McGriddles and goes into a monologue about how good they are.  If you've read the book, those delicious little breakfast sandwiches - that's what I'm talking about. 

So yeah, I was up and out early enough to get the breakfast of champions (McDonald's stops serving breakfast at 10:30am) and I'm not really going anywhere with this other than to say hot damn it was good.  I do have some yarn that's the color of the McGriddle bacon, and from here on out whenever I wear the scarf I'm currently making from this yarn I'm going to crave the succulent disgustingness of bacon flavored, syrup infused mini-pancakes.

Debbie Bliss Fez in colorway "chocolate".  It's a camel and merino blend of yarn.  It's so soft and squishy.  I've never worked with camel before, but I can already tell I'm going to a lot from here on out.  The stitch definition is beautiful.  You can see everything beautifully, and though right now the infinity scarf I'm working on is really just your basic knits and purls, I'm sure this would cable like a dream and I'm for sure going to do something with cables next. 

I'm not even kidding you, if McDonald's served breakfast past 10:30AM I'd be back there right now getting another McGriddle for lunch.  Don't judge me.
