Goldenrod

EDM Challenge #67  Draw something "Mom".  This is an illustrated recipe (I love illustrated recipes!) for Goldenrod, the delicious breakfast my grandmother made up for my mom when she was little.  My mom made up a different breakfast for me, which is called "Egg Brekky with Yogi and Bread" (that's what you get when you let the kid name the dish).  Egg Brekky is a soft-boiled egg (still warm), a piece of bread torn into small chunks, and a dollop of yoghurt (cold).  Then you mix it all together in a bowl and you get mush that has hot bits and cold bits and it's kind of bready and yoghurty and I absolutely love it.  I admit that Goldenrod is more classically delicious -- it's a white sauce, after all -- but Egg Brekky is dearer to my heart.  Goldenrod is a very "mom" thing to me, though, because it involves both my mom and my grandmother.  My son hasn't tried Egg Brekky or Goldenrod.  He tends to have unsweetened applesauce mixed with yoghurt (which is delicious, by the way).  I think I'd better come up with a comfort-food breakfast for him, though, to continue the tradition.

As I said above, I love illustrated recipes!  I've been wanting to do these for ages and I finally started a couple of days ago.  I've done two now, both with pen and watercolor, and I'm having a ball!  Be prepared for more to come!

A word about scanning.  I actually took this to a scanner and emailed it to myself from that, and it wasn't terribly good!  This recipe fared better than the other one, but they were both missing colors and details, despite my selecting proper settings for a drawing (I think).  I'm not really sure what to do about that.  For now, here's another dark, blurry photo.
