Have
you ever had the breakfast dish where eggs are cooked in a bed of
marinara sauce? Well slave decided to re-invent this to honor a
Hollywood legend for LGBT History Month.
This
makes a beautiful healthy breakfast that will have men asking for
more!
Ingredients:
2
cups hash browns
½
yellow onion chopped
1
pkg loose sausage
1
can condensed cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
½
cup grated Monterrey jack cheese
3
large eggs
Directions:
Rinse
the mushrooms well and let drain. Chop the onion, freeze any you
don't use.
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Oil a skillet over medium heat.
Cook
hash browns for about 6 minutes, (loose but starting to tun
brown) remove to paper towel to drain.
Add
onions to skillet and cook 5 minutes until starting to turn
translucent. Add the crumbled sausage and cook for 8 minutes,
stirring well.
Add
the mushrooms and let cook down another 7 minutes.
Carefully
add the fresh spinach 1 hand full at a time. Don't hurry this. As
soon as 1 handful is stirred into the heated mixture, the spinach
will almost disappear. If you hurry this you end up with spinach
everywhere. Slave took 8 minutes to stir in the whole bag, 1
handful at a time.
Cover
and drop the temperature to low. Stir in the hash browns and let cook
for another 7 – 8 minutes.
Spray
a large baking dish. Spoon this mixture into the dish and add the
cheese. Mix this well.
Using
a large spoon, make four indentations into the mix. Break an egg
into each “nest”. Carefully slide this into the oven for about
half an hour. This gives you plenty of time to clean up and set the
table.
Can
be served with toast points, muffins or any bread of your choice.
For
some music how about this!
So
joyful that I get to serve my Master Indy!

On
LGBT History Month:
William "Billy" Haines 
His
life could have been written as a Hollywood classic love story.
Except for the fact he was gay and it was in the early thirties!
The
young and handsome Billy Haines quickly became a top box office draw
in 1929. He was known as a wisecracking leading man with a smile that
conveyed more than just being happy.
Born
in 1900, Billy ran away from home at age 14 with his “boy friend”.
By the end of World War One, He worked a variety of jobs in
Greenwich Village, and was for a time the “kept man” of an older
woman before becoming a model.
A
talent scout from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer signed him in 1922 to a $40 a
week contract and he was off to Hollywood.
After
a slow career start, it was the film “Brown of Harvard” in 1926
that set his “screen formula”, a young arrogant man who is
humbled by the last reel.
By
1928 Haines was a top box office star until 1932. He was one of a few
that made a successful transition into sound films.
Then
in 1933, Haines was arrested in a YMCA with a sailor he had picked up
in Los Angeles' Pershing Square. By this time Louis B. Meyer was
tired of covering up his stars “indiscretions”. His ultimatum:
get married (in what was refereed to as a lavender marriage to a
woman) or get out.
Just
like a script writer would have stated, Haines refused to leave his
true love (also a sailor): James "Jimmie" Shields.
The
two spent the rest of their lives together. Their friend Joan
Crawford once called the
relationship "the happiest marriage in Hollywood."
Undaunted
the two set up a highly successful Interior design and antiques
company. Their clients were the who's who of Hollywood.
William
Haines Designs remains in operation, with main offices in West
Hollywood and showrooms in New York, Denver and Dallas.
It
was not all hearts and flowers. In 1936 approximately 100 members of
a white supremacist group
dragged the two men from their home and beat them nearly to death.
Their excuse was a neighbor had accused the two of propositioning his
son. Police never brought charges against the couple's attackers. The
accusations against Haines and Shields were unfounded and the case
was dismissed.
In
1973, Haines died from lung cancer at the age of 73. Soon afterward,
Shields left a note for friends that said in part: "Goodbye to
all of you who have tried so hard to comfort me in my loss of William
Haines, whom I have been with since 1926. I now find it impossible to
go it alone, I am much too lonely." He then overdosed on
sleeping pills. They were interred side by side in Woodlawn Memorial
Cemetery.
A
modern gay romance, a modern gay relationship, lasting successfully
for 47 years. Like a true Hollywood
love story their life can still inspire us all.
