You read that right. We’re letting our intense hunger guide us this morning, and we need ideas for the perfect cowboy breakfast. Add our Facebook feed (click here) to your wall by giving us a "like." Tell us all the ingredients that you'd throw into the skillet (or directly on the fire, for the truly rustic approach). The wilder, the better. And don’t forget the salsa.  We'll be putting some of the ideas up on the blog very soon, provided we're not busy driving toward the nearest campfire, skillet in hand.
