The love of my life

In the past year, I have fallen in love. It was unexpected and sudden. Who is this new love in my life? I'd like to introduce you to Egg McMuffin (without Canadian bacon). You may have met before, but I'm now in love with him, so he's all mine.

I don't know what it is about an Egg McMuffin, but I could eat three or four. I don't, but I could. The one in the picture seems to have some over-cooked edges, which is not good. It also seems to have ketchup on it, which I've never tried, but makes me gag slightly at the thought. It comes with Canadian bacon, but I always order my McMuffin without meat since I don't eat pork.

About a year ago, I decided to switch from the occassional egg and cheese biscuit to an Egg McMuffin to save some calories. A regular Egg McMuffin (English muffin, slice of cheese, one egg, and Canadian bacon) has 300 calories. A bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit has 420 calories. According to McDonald's website, a slice of Canadian bacon has only 10 calories, which is shocking to me, so my Egg McMuffin has 290 calories, which isn't bad for breakfast.

I really wish McDonald's would serve Egg McMuffins all day long because I would be their best customer. Until then, I'll just have to have my love affair in the mornings.
