What's For Breakfast?
I'm having warmed over pizza, and Hostess Chocolate Donetts yummy.:donut:
that's probably the worst thing you could eat for breakfast!
bad boy!
I'm 'sposed to eat Cheerio's, but sometimes you just gotta eat pizza.
I ate the Cheerios for you. enjoy the pizza and donuts for me. =)
Last several days it's been cereal. But tonight I finally got another batch of yogurt going, so in another 24 hours I'll be back to my standard banana-covered-in-goat-yogurt-and-honey for at least a week or so.
It's been buttered toast for far too many days
some sort of sugar-free energy drink, pretty much. sometimes a little cup of applesauce, usually not.
a spinach, tomato , chicken , jalapeno, baked potato, cheese omelet.
I had a hard boiled egg.
it was overcooked. goddammit.
Whole Grain Bagel with hummus on one half, honey roasted peanut butter on the other.
leftover strips of london broil from yesterday, cold out of the fridge :D
I love london broil as a vehicle for horse radish. Hotter the better...
Whole Grain Bagel with hummus on one half, honey roasted peanut butter on the other.
Again. Only with a swirly rye/pump bagel today. Tomorrow will be whole grain, and then I go camping and I'm at the mercy of the folks making the supermarket run.
Cup of tea this morning.
But I had a Sausage & Egg McMuffin and a Hash Brown yesterday.
Naughty, naughty, naughty.
coffee
oj
(2) corn tortillas with fried egg/cheese with tobasco
big bowl of Wheaties with fresh blueberries on top.
:spam1: and eggs with bizkits.
good lord spam is horrific. i keep trying to like it because it's cheap and convenient and i just can't do it.
chorizo and eggs, on the other hand - i can cook you some that will knock your fricking block off it's so delicious.
(breakfast today was two sticks of jicama, a slice of cheddar cheese and an energy drink.)
I can say with all honesty I have never tried spam... no interest.
Coffee for me... black
Used up a loaf of wheat free bread on french toast this morning. Wheat free breads are the suxor. coffee
Chobani vanilla greek yogurt with blueberries and granola
:angel:
Their blueberry yogurt is yum.
I fell like a pig now with all these small breakfasts!
Today I am having:
100 calorie english muffin with light butter
kielbasa and light cheddar cheese omelet made with egg substitute
2 cups of skim milk
not to bum you out or anything, bbro, and I applaud your efforts (how very hard it is to be good!) but...um...why bother with light cheese if you're having kielbasa? (which I LOVE btw, so, kudos on that!)
No bumming out here....after all I had some kielbasa form breakfast!! :D I usually have some kind of meat for breakfast and there is a small piece in my fridge that'll last a while since I am only using 1/2 ounce in the omelet. Just enough to get some in each bite. The light cheese is just because - in shredded form - it's all I use anymore since I started back on Weight Watchers.
Oh and I love Kielbasa, too. Since they don't have any good ones down here, it is like a precious gem. :drool:
Cornflakes & skimmed milk today.
Working my way back to smoothies
Oatmeal with butter and splenda. Coffee
In the am, for me it will be coffee followed by a big assed Bloody Mary in the Airport.
wheat toast with chunky Skippy peanut butter.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Oatmeal with butter and splenda. Coffee
Okay, you shamed me into eating decently. Oatmeal, brown sugar, 2% milk and coffee.
added raisins
Thats my everyday Griff... Tougher to do in this summer heat tho.
Cranberry walnut bread with gobs of whipped cream chese. Half an old fashioned donut. Glass of orange-mango juice.
...and an Oreo cookie.
Dunno yet. Either Jimmy Dean D-Light Bowl or Carnation Instant Breakfast.
Bagel. Coffee. Diet Coke. Some sunflower seeds.
A big bowl of Wheaties with a handful of fresh blueberries. 1% milk.
Our man glatt is all about the blueberries! :)
I forgot my cheerios before I left this morning. Would have been better than the bagel, probably.
Our man glatt is all about the blueberries! :)
And the Wheaties.
I wish we had more room in the freezer. I froze 8 pints of blueberries, but it won't be nearly enough to get me through the winter. They were 4 for $5 last week.
I like Wheaties, Cheerios, and Corn Flakes...for the "better for you" cereal.
Otherwise, I like Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, and vintage Cocoa Puffs (when they were still hollow and not chocolate flavored cheesy poof substance.) I don't buy any of those anymore. Too tempting.

I do this at times.
Lately I've been having coffee followed by ice tea followed by water. I just haven't had an appetite until lunch/brunch.

I believe the generic cocoa puffs are like the old ones.
Same as last Thursday. Gotta use up that kielbasa.
No more kielbasa for me. And since my body has decided to do unnatural things when fed eggs, I had to get creative.
Today I had a wrap with:
ham
cheese
1/2 tsp olive oil
onions
lettuce
cucumbers
carrots
celery
Washed down with a Diet Dr. Pepper. Man am I full!
Smoothies! Yogurt, milk,berries,whey powder, hit blend, & done!
Sky - I am thinking of trying smoothies next week. How much milk and yogurt and fruit do you put in? Is it by eye or some kind of ratio?
Tortilla chips, salsa, and guacamole--not proper guacamole, actually, just mashed avocado with salt, the half that Minifobette didn't finish for her breakfast.
Bbro, do it by eye. If you think it's too thin, stir in something dry-ish. But after all, a smoothie is in the end a thing you drink. Start with a cup of yoghurt, half cup of milk, and see if it really needs to get thinner. I like smoothies that include banana as well as yoghurt.
Total of everything should fit inside your glass. Otherwise you're going to need a bigger glass.

Give the several Kashi Good Friends offerings a try. Trader Joe's.
I am an inveterate devourer of eggs, poached, fried, scrambled or omelette. It amuses everyone else in the house, who for one reason or another don't often eat what I do except at supper.
Saint-Nectaire cheese, though, would be quite a lot to face at breakfast even in the somewhat dilute form of filling an omelette with it.
I got to eat almost all of that, as everyone else in the house hated it.

Like UG said, You can do it by eye if you want but I used a cup of each of milk, yogurt and berries.
Two-bite blueberry scones, baby.
Waiting for the smoothie to thaw so I can have it! Crossing the fingers that I like it or can identify a way to make it more tasty to me.
Scrambled eggs, two bacon, toast, coffee, diet coke.
I didn't eat dinner last night...I was starving!
Air. :( I always have stuff here at the office, but SOMEONE decided to eat it last night.
Fuckin fucker!
Smoothie fail! Gonna try again tomorrow. It was a little sour, but I think that is because of the yogurt I am using. Will use 3/4 cup instead of a whole one and maybe throw a bit of sweetener in....and maybe some more fruit I also think freezing it was a VERY bad idea.
What part was frozen? You blended it up... then froze it... then waited for it to thaw before drinking it?:confused:
Egg casserole tomorrow for the road trip to Santa Claus Indiana. We leave bright an early at 6am.
What part was frozen? You blended it up... then froze it... then waited for it to thaw before drinking it?:confused:
Yep. That was the mistake. I made it fresh today with only cherry and added some truvia to cut the tartness. Not really hungry yet so I haven't tasted it.
You must blend, then consume IMMEDIATELY!
I can't consume immediately. I can't eat breakfast until I get to work because of morning medicine I take and there is no blender here.
Scrambled eggs, toast, two bacon, coffee, diet coke.
No dinner again last night. I'm a bozo.
ohhh bummer.
Yea. I was going to get a Thermos to dump it into if I discovered I liked it enough, but I don't know if I do.
Shawnee - that used to be close to my normal breakfast. I may have to make some bacon this weekend.
Bbro, I'd probably recommend smoothies for a weekend breakfast. They don't really store well. I also recommend trying it with just fruit and fruit juice. The smoothies I usually make at home are frozen strawberries, frozen peaches, frozen mango, and a banana, and then enough orange juice to get the thing to mix well. They're nice and light, and great for a summer morning!
The only thing with just fruit and fruit juice is too much sugar and high points. I don't think it would keep me full as long as I need it to. I am still experimenting with no-egg breakfasts. Next week I am going to have a steak and potato wrap :D
Maple sausage, coffee, blackberries.
Blackberry smoothie and sausage for the roomie.
Pancakes.
That's what my breakfast was missing.
I am most definitely having pancakes tomorrow morning. I had leftover chocolate mousse cake from a takeout container for this morning's breakfast, and it just didn't work out very well.
Egg casserole tomorrow for the road trip to Santa Claus Indiana. We leave bright an early at 6am.
Recipe for egg casserole please - that sounds YUMMY.

I do those kind of things. Have leftover cake for breakfast. Then regret it.:greenface

Is that like a crustless quiche? I made one of those last week. mmm
Steel Cut Oats this morning, with second-breakfast of wheat bagel with hummus.
I really wanted waffles, though. Just didn't have the patience to get out the HelloKitty wafflemaker today, though.
baked sour cream enchiladas (green) and sopaipillas today!
What's for breakfast?
Gloom & despair, with a side of regret.

aww, :(
I didn't get no breakfast today. :( Stupid non-starting car. I made up for it with lunch, though :D
Recipe for egg casserole please - that sounds YUMMY.
It is and I love it.
Ingredients:
1 pound breakfast sausage, browned and drained of fat
6 slices of bread, cubed - I use whole wheat.
6 eggs
2 cups milk
1-1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste (I don't usually need this)
In large bowl blend the eggs, milk and seasonings, then add the sausage, cheese and bread and toss until well mixed. Pour into a greased 9 x 12-inch casserole dish, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour.
I have half a pack of Border Biscuits 'toffee apple crumbles' left over from last night.
With a cup of strong sweet coffee.
Pico, how does that come out?
Kinda... omlette-y?
You Americans sure love your eggs - I'm buying them like water to practice my cakes - three eggs per cake? Six eggs for breakfast? Blimey. Okay, I appreciate the above is not breakfast for one :)
Also - breakfast sausage. Wassat?
Just sausagemeat? Or patties (can't get here) or links - what we call sausage? Or maybe just ground (minced) seasoned pork... Hmmmm.
ETA - Youtube answered most of my questions, but I'd still like your (and other Dwellars) opinions.
It's more like what we would call a frittata or Spanish omelette - with differences of course. Our casseroles don't tend to be set. Looks yummy though, I might have to tweak it and offer it for brunch one day.
Dana - that sounds rubbish.
At least I had Rice Krispies.
Sundae - that's what we call Sausage casserole and it's pretty yummy but RICH. the sausage is like ground pork...y'know? Only sausage. comes in a roll...? is this ringing a bell?
have it with fruit like cantelope slices or grapes or oranges. very good, filling and rich.
I am eating an English muffin and drinking coffee.
I think Americans love coffee more than eggs. Cold cereal would be at the top of the list? Toast?
I don't like heavy greasy rich meals so much so I've never had that sausage casserole.
IMO.The quiche is a better lighter version of an egg casserole. Brocolli or spinach and cheese. mmm
But real men don't eat quiche, so we go for the egg casserole. :haha:
You would eat it if I called it a baked omlette. You might get suspicious of the green vegetables though. I wonder if it would get the stink-eye.:eyebrow:?
Probably depends on the green veggie. Spinach got Popeye appeal, y'know.

My boss just gave me a quart can of John McCann's steel cut Irish oatmeal. I don't know if it's any good, but the can is freaking awesome. Looks like a can of paint.
She openly admitted it was a re-gift and she had no desire to spend 30 minutes making oatmeal.
That's what you want man. It's the best. But when I say that, the islanders claim it's just porridge and no particular porridge can be the best.
You pay about $9.00 for the can. Ordinary steel cut oats in bulk at the coop are about $32 for 50# for organic. That's about .64 per #.
They are really the best oats, steel cut that is. butter and maple syrup and cinnamon. If you can't be bothered to cook them a long time in the am then soak them over night. If you cook them in milk they are extra delicioso.
And SG, breakfast sausage is distinctively seasoned, primarily with black pepper and sage, some sugar and other spices that vary by recipe.
It is a very pleasant sausage.
I'm really hungry right now. My stomach has been in an uproar since my MIL arrived and it is still not right. I just ate a bunch of pickled beets and smoked mackerel. (It is dinner)
we'll try the oatmeal out on Saturday. I'll report back.
Also - breakfast sausage. Wassat?
Just sausagemeat?
pretty much. breakfast sausage links here are the closest to British Bangers (skinny ones), but the the meat is more coarse and "meaty" and more seasoned.
Our casseroles don't tend to be set.
casserole here means pretty much anything baked in a casserole dish. For example, Green Bean casserole is basically mushroom soup poured over fried onions and green beans and baked for a while..... they don't really make anything like what we'd call casserole here -at least I've never come across it.
comes in a roll...? is this ringing a bell?
Well it certainly didn't used to be sold in a tube but i've been gone a while now......
have it with fruit like cantelope slices or grapes or oranges. very good, filling and rich.
Scuse me, but are you suggesting eating fruit with sausage meat? And if so, would that be with or without Maple Syrup? :vomitblu:
we'll try the oatmeal out on Saturday. I'll report back.
Remember to stir it a lot and keep the heat down or it will burn. It may take a few rounds before you get the hang of it. I suppose there's directions on the can.
Glatt, steel cuts the best - I can't eat regular anymore. Because its such a pain to make, I usually just make up a big batch and keep it in the fridge. In the morning I just heat some up in the microwave.
Today I am breaking my fast with several large mugs of strong coffee, two cigarettes and a slightly more ... aromatic smoke to finish.
Sounds like the recipe for diarrhea and coughing... very bad combination. :haha:
I'll be having water, then vege juice, followed by muselie with dried cranberries and soy milk.
But Ali - Are you gonna actually EAT something?
I'm doing the liver cleansing diet. I've actually gotten to really like the food on it again.
It's part of my whole change of lifestyle. During the bit of a while since Max was born, I've become very unhealthy, mostly thanks to the post natal depression, but I'm feeling so much better these days. In fact, I feel like a whole different person, and it's good.
So anyway, getting my body to match my mind is my biggest challenge at the moment, but it's going ok. Slowly but surely I'm getting there. :)
Today I had oatmeal bars and yogurt, tomorrow I'm having biscuits and sausage gravy, and eggs YUM.
For awhile now breakfast every day has been a sliced banana covered in 24-hour fermented goat yogurt (28.8 billion CFU per serving! declares the bottle,) topped liberally with honey. I've been craving it on a regular basis ever since I started eating it.
Cigarettes and coffee again.

This is the most wonderful stuff in the world, and is absolutely worth the 30 minutes of close attention that the cooking process requires. Make a whole batch, eat 1/4, put the rest in the firdge in a microwavable container. I hate American Style Wallpaper Paste (I can't bring myself to call the Quaker stuff oatmeal), but I love McCann's. Awesome nutty roasty flavor.
Watch it like a hawk in the early stages, it has a tendency to froth up and boil over no matter how big the pot is! You can be more relaxed during the half-hour of simmering. I have never tried the soak overnight method. I do have a friend that does the crock pot while she's sleeping method (from Alton Brown's Good Eats) but says you either need to wake up early, or put in some extra liquid to have it work properly.
Sounds like the recipe for diarrhea and coughing... very bad combination. :haha:
From a Dennis Leary routine:
You ever smoke a big, fat bag of crack and then drink a whole bottle of Nyquil?
I mean, what's the point of being high if you're just going to cough?
Cigarettes and coffee again.
We really should do breakfast sometime! Easy enough to make, and chock full of my favorite things. :)
Big cup of delicious hot coffee with soy milk, and a whole wheat bagel with hummus.
[SIZE="1"]I also had chocolate cake afterward, but I'm counting that as lunch.[/SIZE]
we'll try the oatmeal out on Saturday. I'll report back.
The oats were a bit rancid. It was a new, unopened can, but I think it was old. Can't find a date on it. The date must have been on the inner liner I threw away. I made a batch, and it was yucky.
I threw the rest away, but the can is pretty neat. My son asked for it, so I gave it to him.
Hopefully maple turkey bacon. I moved it from the freezer to the fridge to defrost last night.:yum:
From a linguistic standpoint notice how 2 of the adjectives are also nouns. We could say 'a maple' or 'a turkey'.
From a food perspective this combines 3 tasty items in one package maple syrup, turkey, and bacon.
I've never actually tried this brand or maple flavored bacon before, but I have high hopes. :thumb:

That's a shame. It is worthwhile going out and getting a new (and hopefully fresher) can. Perhaps the seal's integrity was violated somehow? Unopened oats should have a pretty long shelf life.
My boss had two cans she was giving away. I think one had just come in the mail as a gift and she realized she had an old unopened one in her pantry. Her secretary must have gotten the new one and I must have gotten the old one. Oh well. Next time I'm in whole foods, which is about once a year, I'll check the bulk food section and see if they have any I can try for cheap.
Glatt, Quaker Qats sells the steel cut variety and it aint bad....check your grocery local grocery store. I used to get it at my grocery store but they stopped selling it (just one more reason I hate middle hoosierland!)
turkey bacon, veggie burgers... whats the point? ugh. And don't even consider turkey burgers -even the cats wouldn't eat them. and they eat all sorts of unidentifiable nasties.....

I agree with you on the turkey burgers, but if you put enough nitrates and salt into turkey bacon, it tastes just like the real thing.
I was used to my other brand of turkey bacon, so I put some olive oil in the pan to make up for the usual lack of fat. I didn't need to worry, this brand was thick cut and they must have some pretty fat turkeys, because it was just as fatty as pork bacon. Pretty good.
I took pictures, but the camera is downstairs.
According to this site, out of the 45 calories in a single slice, 20 calories is fat. Bless them.
http://www.fitclick.com/how_many_calories_in_Godshalls_Maple_Turkey_Bacon_94_Fat_Free?fd=420854Oatmeal 7.
Oatmeal 7 is better than regular oatmeal. In fact, it is 7 better than regular oatmeal (The way mom makes it) Dad makes Oatmeal 7 which is only one better than oatmeal 6.
Oatmeal 7 is:
Rolled oats, the slow kind, not instant.
Milk or half and half
pinch of salt
vanilla extract
butter
Maple syrup, or brown sugar, or honey (No you can't have all three, that's disgusting)
Cinnamon
Add it all together and cook it. It's Oatmeal 7 and it's better than regular oatmeal.
My kids ask for it by name.
GFCF must make the appropriate subs with almond milk or something.

Er... and also substituting the oats. If you want oats that haven't been processed/contaminated with wheat, you have to order them specially online. And even then there's still debate over whether the protein in oats is sufficiently similar to gluten to cause problems anyway. Somewhere around half of celiac sufferers say they suffer pain from even the purest certified gluten-free oats.
But you could use quinoa!
Clod, have you tasted Quinoa ? Is it good tasting ?
One of my G-kids seems to have a mild aversion to breads, but does eat oatmeal.
He talks about wanting to find some other kind of cereal.
What's for breakfast? I'm thinking venison tenderloin, scrambled eggs, and grits. W/wheat toast.
Lamp - I love quinoa.
Similar to couscous, but more... meaty? chewy? crunchy?
It's just a nicer mouthful with more texture. You feel you're really eating something.
SG, thx, I'll tell the G-kid about it, maybe even try it myself
:spam1:We had spam, eggs, and biskits.
Lamp, Sundae's right, quinoa is fairly bland by itself, and the texture is like a bulkier couscous. You can also get quinoa "flakes," and that texture is more like instant oatmeal (very similar to rice cereal, if you've been around baby food anytime recently.)
breakfast was toast in the car. both days of the weekend. I'm due something really yummy and seriously unhealthy tomorrow morning.
Eggnog brioche french toast!
Really? So not something I would entertain the thought of -even as a dessert. Horses for courses, though, at least it wasn't boring!

But you could use quinoa!
I met a celiac person's wife the other day and she told me that if you stirred regular pasta in the cooking water with the same spoon as his GF pasta, he would violently hurl almost immediately.
I'd say you'd pretty much have to buy your oats from the farmer and thresh them yourself. There is so much cross contamination and if you're anything as sensitive as this guy, I'd pretty much only eat vegetables.
Quinoa is pretty good and its flavor is immeasurably improved by lightly toasting in a cast iron pan first.
Minifobette's not that sensitive, but Minifob is. Except instead of hurling, he screams, spins in circles, and refuses to make eye contact with you. And then has explosive diarrhea.
I've never heard of toasting the quinoa--are you supposed to do that before or after you boil it?
Before. A lot of grains develop much more complex and nutty flavors when you pre toast them. I think it is more of the
Maillard reaction, caramelizing the sugars creating new flavor compounds, etc.
Supposedly this is true of chocolate, but not pre-toasting. I think you are supposed to pour boiling water over the cocoa powder and it intensifies the chocolate flavor.
Some nuts are also more flavorful when toasted, hazelnuts for example.
Toasted bagel with strawberry cream cheese.
The kids will have Toaster Scrambles. That's those square-shaped creations in the freezer with egg, bacon and cheese stuffed inside. Except they never can wait for the toaster oven to make them right so they cook them in the microwave so they're kind of mushy and gross.
Oh, wait, you say MOM is supposed to cook breakfast for her children before school? ::yawn:: Dang. Six is just too early for that crap. :)
I trained my older stepson to eat the leftovers from the night before. :D

Isn't there a Grimm Brothers fairy tale about you?:sniff:
LOL...actually he loved it. It was quick, easy and filling. This is a kid that would eat everything whether he liked it or not. His younger brother is another story. Getting him to eat breakfast at all is challenging. He barely gets up early enough to catch the bus.
My kid makes his own breakfast a lot. Sometimes it is peanut butter pickle sandwiches.
Really? So not something I would entertain the thought of -even as a dessert. Horses for courses, though, at least it wasn't boring!
I'd had that very thing out for brunch yesterday morning, and leftovers for breakfast today. Believe it or not, it wasn't as sickeningly sweet at it sounds...but definitely srsly yummy.
Scottish Oatmeal, with Pop Tarts for afters. And coffee.
This morning it was yoplait thick and creamy yogurt (banana and strawberry) with rice krispies mixed in. And Turkish tea.
Lamp - I love quinoa.
Similar to couscous, but more... meaty? chewy? crunchy?
It's just a nicer mouthful with more texture. You feel you're really eating something.
SG, My G-son got some... now how to cook it ?
Do you (or anyone else) have a easy recipe to start with ?
toast it lightly in a cast iron pan. cook it like rice. You can add butter if that's your thing, or cook it in stock if you are into that, or just water with a pinch of salt.
ratio of quinoa to liquid is appx 1:1.5
you can dice veggies into it, for breakfast, you can mince some ham or crumble bacon into it (to help offset the purported cardiovascular benefits of Quinoa) and then scramble an egg and mix the bacon, scrambled egg, and cooked quinoa together, season.
We had a work breakfast meeting, at a place called The Golden Nugget. I thought it might be like The Golden Corral (really, anything golden gives me pause) but it was really nice. The director picked up all our checks!
I had bacon and eggs over medium and (I'm so ashamed) PANCAKES. And lots of coffee.
:yum:
Whats wrong with the Golden Corral!! They have great food and all is fine as long as you wear blinders (At least in my town).
Wheat Bagel, half plain hummus, half Mennonite Honey Roasted Peanut Butter, coffee.
Whats wrong with the Golden Corral!! They have great food and all is fine as long as you wear blinders (At least in my town).
I haven't been there in many many years. The whole "Corral" thing kind of fits, with what I saw there. You take the word "golden" and add "corral" to it, it doesn't say "good" to me. :lol:
Ours hasn't had the best rep. I don't even know for sure if it's still in the neighboring town.
We used to have Dale's Smorgasbord. Dale's Golden Rule: Take all you want, but eat all you take. :p:
My brother and his high school football buddies LOVED that place.
"All you can eat, doesn't mean you should" was a funny observation by some forgettable comic
Yep, thats why we wear blinders when we go - we call it the trough because of how the majority of its patrons fill their plates to heaping and (from the looks of them) have done it several plates too many. (This is middle hoosierland, ya know)
Ours does pretty good...the food seems really fresh - not canned or frozen.
Sneeze guards are nothing to sneeze at!
:yelsick: I try not to think about that.
Face it, if we really thought about ANY of our food, we'd never have an appetite. Best to keep it in the golden light.
I figured I would resurrect this thread because I really loved my breakfast this morning :D
I made egg salad with 1.5 eggs, 1/2 tbsp mayo, salt, pepper and paprika on a piece of toast and 1 cup of milk. I am going to have the same thing tomorrow, but I think I will have some ham with it, too.
Hamburger Casserole made w/ground venison instead of hamburger.
I know, I know...casserole for breakfast? But, breakfast will be served at like 2:30pm. -ish.
Casserole may become supper. Egg salad sounds pretty damn good right about now.
Bagel, Blueberry, Toasted.
Half Philadelphia Cream Cheese
Half Mennonite Store Bulk Honey Roasted Peanut Butter
(I get it in three pound tubs)

hey bbro
serious question. did you really make an egg salad with 1.5 eggs? why not two eggs? tomorrow will you use the remaining half egg and another whole egg for the encore meal? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I have been cooking a LONG time, I'm a pretty good cook, but one area I have trouble with is portion control. Egg salad seems like one of those things I just can't make ONE portion of, like making one serving of spaghetti or something. Is that the key, ratios that include dividing eggs? that seems like a lot of trouble. I would (I'm sure this is the root of the problem I just described) just make it with three eggs and save half if I knew it was needed for tomorrow's breakfast. Actually I'd have probably eaten the whole thing, leading to other, weightier problems, but that is a related but different story.
I was wondering about the 1-1/2 egg thing too ... my standard egg salad sandwich is 2 eggs.

I'm not trying to be a smartass, I have been cooking a LONG time, I'm a pretty good cook, but one area I have trouble with is portion control. Egg salad seems like one of those things I just can't make ONE portion of, like making one serving of spaghetti or something. Is that the key, ratios that include dividing eggs? that seems like a lot of trouble. I would (I'm sure this is the root of the problem I just described) just make it with three eggs and save half if I knew it was needed for tomorrow's breakfast. Actually I'd have probably eaten the whole thing, leading to other, weightier problems, but that is a related but different story.
BigV/Wolf - Yes - that is exactly what I plan on doing tomorrow morning for breakfast. As for why 1.5? Two seemed too many and one didn't seem like enough.
I don't know if splitting the eggs first is the key to portion control, but it is definitely helpful. It is easier to figure out a single portion if everything from the beginning is only for one portion than trying to make multiple servings and splitting it. With things like pasta, I weigh out the dry portion first, then cook. If I am making multiple servings, I weigh them all out, then when it is cooked, I know exactly how many servings I have and separate them immediately. That helps, too
Don't get me wrong - I have issues with portion control, too. Weight watchers helped and now I am doing SparkPeople, so I still have to track every bit that goes in my mouth. The tracking helps a lot. You don't want to have to go back and scratch out your healthy single serving and add to it.
Just my opinion, though ;) Hope that all makes sense :)
Raspberries! But first I gotta go out to the backyard to pick 'em... :)
Yesterday morning we all had a Traditional Breakfast at the
Reedcutter's Restaurant which was the main eatery on the caravan site we've been staying on.
We had to be out of our caravan at 10.00, so we were up at 07.00 and ready to leave by 08.30.
Would have been even earlier, but Mum & Dad - well, Mum - told me off about the racket I was making, opening and closing doors. "Just not fair" at that time of the morning. Oddly, Mum said, "It's ten to eight now, we don't need to worry about being quiet." I only include that because the timing is bizarre, and in fact tells me that Mum was fed up with creeping about and sod the neighbours. Please note, there was room to park two cars (one and a half?) between each caravan.
It was payday, so brekkers was my treat. Two rashers of bacon, sausage, fried egg, beans, hash brown and fried bread. I had toast instead of fried bread - I do love a place that understand substitution.
No pics, I've reigned myself in on those.
Just a bit of feedback.
Well shoot, Sundae I think a lot of us appreciate your pictures...especially the food ones. Who would give feedback otherwise?
how much is a rasher?
as to egg salad - just make a mess of it and tupperware it for later. sheesh! all that work for one lousy breakfast? ya gotta hard boil the eggs, mash 'em up, etc. same with spaghetti. LEFTOVERS people! LEFTOVERS!
peanut butter on toast with a coffee.

I googled because I wondered too.
Its only a silly single slice.
Aye - a rasher of bacon is a slice.
But if you're offered a truckle of cheese - take it. Unless you're allergic to dairy products I mean. They vary in size, but let's put it this way, you won't get it all in one sandwich.
I'm still working on a round of toast or a round of sandwiches.
It's baffled me since 1991, when I first encountered it.
Are you suggesting that "a round of sandwiches" is an Americanism?
coffee. a cup. Well, a cup at a time.
Same as yesterday. Added some ham in this time.
Are you suggesting that "a round of sandwiches" is an Americanism?
Not at all. I never considered it foreign, unless I meant "foreign to me".
I just don't get it.
I worked out that a round of sandwiches was effectively a sandwich. Which seemed a con. Two slices of bread is a SANDWICH - no other words need to be introduced.
But then we have a round of toast. Which surely has to mean two slices of toast, right? No. Not always.
And then I grew out of the chip on my shoulder which said anything I didn't undertsand was my fault and I was stupid for asking. "A round of sandwiches [toast]? What is that exactly?" And you know what? I'm still not sure.
Slightly OT, but when people asked for a wine spritzer I also had to ask whether they meant wine with sparkling water or lemonade. Pretty much everyone looked at me as if I was thicker than a whale omelette. But the truth is they were probably split 60/40 as to what comprises a spritzer, and I did not appreciate taking the wrong drink out of my wages at the end of the night. Yeah okay, I drinked it, but only when I was offered a drink by a customer, and if it was a wine/ lemonade mix it was yukky.
A round of sandwiches is just one sandwich. A round of toast is just one slice of toast, unless you're going to make two slices of toast into a sandwich I guess.
My mum used to use that phrase quite often, and that was always the context.
If there were a few kids over and Mum was making sandwiches for us, she'd say, "I'll just make a few rounds of sandwiches.", meaning more than one sandwich.
I don't know for a fact, but I suspect the term is quite old and from the days prior to bread tins when most loaves were rounder rather than square.
Oh, and a wine spritzer over here is usually half half of wine and soda water.
Egg salad sounds pretty damn good right about now.
And it was.
peanut butter on toast with a coffee.
How American of you!
Thought you lot were all about Vegemite. That's what the song says anyway ...
re: rounds ...
The only things that come in rounds over here are drinks and merries.
There is no special collective word for toast. It's just toast, although the conventional restaurant serving is two slices. Most home servings are two slcies as well, as toasters come with even numbers of slots, and it's silly to warm them both up for just one piece of bread.
Perhaps we could use a special collective word for toast.
A horde of toast.
A brace of toast.
A stack of toast. No. Pancakes have that one sewn up.
A barrage of toast.
A pop of toast.
An assemblage of toast.
I need some help.
And some sleep, apparently.
Plenty of PB gets eaten over here. My boys go through half a kg a week sometimes. And of course, I eat it sometimes too.
I'm not that fond of vegemite, although it's nice on toast when you're feeling a bit seedy. I think it's all the vit B.
Breakfast will be explanations to the kids about the theft of my bike and the effect of that on our biking vacation to Yellowstone. Like hey, guess what, we can't go yet
todays breakfast was coffee , croissant and butter
yesterdays breakfast was coffee, croissant and butter
tomorrows breakfast will be coffee, croissant and butter
I do get tired of this country some days... would someone like to come over and open an IHOP near me?
Why don't you have something else if you're bored with the same thing?
Why don't you have something else if you're bored with the same thing?
you've never been to Switzeland have you?... it's the law..
croissants and coffee or they take you away.. lock you up.. and make you eat Muesli
Gawds Honest truth.
:rolleyes:
I don't believe you. :)
have I ever lied to you before?
A round of sandwiches is just one sandwich. A round of toast is just one slice of toast, unless you're going to make two slices of toast into a sandwich I guess.
That's as I suspected. But can you see why it doesn't make sense?
A sandwich is two slices of bread and a filling.
So the "round" unnecessary.
A slice of toast is a slice of toast. See above.
Not criticising your late mother of course Ali.
It just seems wrong to me.
I think it comes from the fact sandwiches and toast are often cut up. So you think you are eating more. Hence a round could be shared. Not by me of course - I will scratch and bite you.
Interesting idea re rounded bread, but baking loaves in tins has been around for a long time. Surely longer than sandwiches? Feel free to correct me - I can't be arsed to look into it. It might make my ranting feel irrelevant.
I couldn't be bothered either, hence the 'I don't know but I reckon'. ;)
I assume we both skipped the "Rounds; Toast and Sandwiches" class at finishing school. And just went down the pub to experience "Rounds; Drinking in and Paying For".
Apparently, if this person is right, rounded loaves were the norm until around 60 years ago, and the oblong tins we use were once called sandwich tins.
Apparently one meaning of 'round' is a circular slice.
So, the meaning of 'round' for sharing has stuck with sandwiches, whilst the meaning of 'round' as a circular slice has stuck with toast.

a round of apples.
a round of beans.
Let me know.
I'll be around.

[mumble]I was wrong[/mumble]
It's still RUBBISH!
I'll have a circle of bread and a triangle's worth of jam spread across it.
I had breakfast early Sunday evening at Cracked Barrel because we went too far up 81 before looking for a restaurant. I ordered breakfast because their dinner food sucks, unfortunately it turns out their breakfast sucks as well. Who can't make decent hash browns and sausage? Worst chain in America. I put that food in a stomach which had cleared itself most effectively in two directions the night before, bad idea.
this morning's fast breaking coffee was accompanied by spinach and eggs. I've noticed that my love of spinach has increased. Maybe to the point that I can justify buying it in large quantities, like restaurant scale bags. I've done that once so far and I ate it all, needed to throw out none. But I had help in the course of consuming that bag. This last bag was a grocery store sized bag, 9 ounces, and lasted only two meals.
Today I treated myself to a Skinny Egg White sandwich from Bruegger's. It was surprisingly good! I would definitely buy it again.
A barrage of toast.
This one is my favorite.

Maybe the idea is like a round of ammunition. The whole requires two or more components to actually do its job: shot ain't much without powder, and vice versa. Bread plus peanut butter plus jelly.
And after all, if you are making a sandwich with peanut butter, you deserve to be shot.
Today I had a Celebrity Slim shake for breakfast.
Mum & I are on their programme for the month.
It was on sale in our local pharmacy - £5 a box (a week's worth) down from £29.99 because they are rebranding.
I figured it was cheaper than buying food, so why not?
And I really could do with shifting some lbs. I mean REALLY need to (as usual).
However I am also drinking. Which won't help. Never does. Oops.
I have seriously cut back, and hope to be teetotal again by the time school starts.
mrs and I decided to give up drinking... in fact we had a couple of Gin n Tonics last night just to celebrate.
Goat milk yogurt, tortilla with egg ham and cheese, and coffee. All milk products were produced here along with the egg.
I swear I'm burping up powder :(
Griff, your brekkus sounds the most inviting of all I've seen so far.
Can I come round tomorrow?
Sure, pop by, I'll put on an extra plate.
Two-bite brand blueberry scones.
A bit too sweet if you ask me.
And scalding hot coffee.
Egg salad with turkey sausage on an english muffin. Oh. and milk to go with it.
Bakery On Main gluten-free granola, and almond milk. Almost forgot to eat it.
Bakery On Main gluten-free granola, and almond milk. Almost forgot to eat it.
I can see why.
Bacon is gluten-free, too.
Funny thing... most of it actually isn't.
Max is having oats with banana for breaky. So far I've had coffee. I think I might have some rockmelon soon.
Think I'm gonna use my $5 coupon for IHOP tomorrow. I'm really jonesing for good breakfast food.
Egg salad with turkey sausage on Ritz Crackers with Vitamin Water
I hear pico has an IHOP coupon. Maybe you can go out for a decent breakfast together ...
today I had... wait for it now...
pain au chocolate* and coffee
( * = fancy name for a croissant stuffed with chocolate )
:o
Someone posted a video of croissant making here a while back.
I found it really interesting.
So don't worry, we know all about Pain au chocolat.
And drinking coffee out of bowls (or is that just a French thing?)
Do you not have plates of meat and cheese and hardboiled eggs for breakfast then? Or is that just a German thing?
coffee out of bowls?... never seen that anywhere.. except perhaps on "Friends"
plates of meat, cheese... thats much more German in my experience, and of course in Greece with signs warning the Germans not to make lunch sandwiches from the breakfast buffet
Trust me, the French drink coffee and chocolate out of bowls.
I thought it was pretty cool when I was there :)
But they make terrible tea*. Which I had to drink because they'd bought it specially for me.
I honestly don't see what the mystery is about making tea - the cheapest greasy spoon cafe can do it? Then again the cheapest greasy spoon usually makes fantastic soft yolk fried eggs, a skill I've never mastered.
* Generalistation of course. Maybe it's only people living in the shadow of the Puy de Dome.
we have a "british market" about 15miles away from us... mrs. G makes regular trips over for a bit of PG tips and the occasional Bishops Finger
How funny - we have French markets here, and in Leicester we had a Bavarian market.
I never thought that other countries might have our markets too!
I loved the French market - despite my snarky comment about the French preferring you to speak English rather than bad French, their faces lit up when I offered something as simple as bonjour, combien or merci. I really admire the French, and how protective they are about their language, and how proud of their country. I get the jokes about being Surrender Monkeys, but many other European nations were occupied, and they don't get tarred with that brush.
The Netherlands for example. I went to the Resistance Musuem when I was in Amsterdam and it made me cry. They fought like buggery, and I'm sure the French did too.
And their bread, wine and olives are wonderful. They even make some good cheese. Nothing compares to British cheese of course, but pretty good. (I lie, some of my favourite cheeses are foreign. Just not French).
Sorry, that was a complete derailment.
I'm glad Mrs G can still get proper tea.
I can't drink it myself these days :(
I have to have de-caff. I've got used to it, but it is unnerving if I run out and sneak one of Dad's teabags. I forget what a wallop full-caff can have.
ok.. time for more derailment?...
shortly after moving over here I asked a French friend..
"whats with you guys, it's a complete scrum at the market, no one ever queues!!"
and was told it was because of the shortages during the war and the deprivation "we" suffered ( he stressed we )
I had to laugh and look at him.. "deprivation? you not even 30yrs old...even your mother was born after the war.
( as with some of my comments here it was not appreciated )
p.s.... loved touring the Anne Frank house.. well.. love is not the proper word... shocking, awakening, enlightening.
gotta keep the expats happy
http://www.jims-british-market.com/
http://www.americanmarket.ch/
( the American market is full of stuff I wouldnt buy back in the states.. but here.. ohhh.. poptarts.. gotta have poptarts , )
Monster is an ex-pat Brit (living in America).
She posts on a specific expat Brit website.
I think it's made up of Brits in all sorts of places, not just America. If you ask I'm sure she'll let you know. Unless Mrs G already has that covered?
Continental Europeans can't queue.
Not like we can.
Read Bill Bryson on the suject.
When I was in Cuba I got used to elbowing my way to the front at the buffet and passing things back to my more reticent partner. People would turn and smile and speak to me in German or Italian - they didn't see the behaviour as rude. No point skulking at the back and grumbling :)
But I got told off once in Pisa for not queueing properly!
I was SO shocked.
We were hardly pushing in - three of us joined three seperate lines at the station, and when T got to the counter first we joined him. Sorry, but it doesn't take any longer to issue three tickets to Siena than it does one! Luckily, none of us understood any of the chap's tirade and I looked at him mournfully and said sorry in Italian and he shrugged it off. I had a low cut top on.
*laughing* low cut tops pay for many sins.. especially with Italians.
we have a bear of an Italian living in our village ( his sister passed away the other day... I referenced in another thread ) and he always gives mrs. G a huge bear hug when he see's her and then winks over at me.
Me at the wedding I was travelling to.
The trio of musicians paid more attention to me than the bride - although she is gorgeous (I chose a pic that flattered me more than her).
As I explained in my original post, I was actually startled at how the dress changed when I wore it with a WonderBra. In hindsight I would have packed a different bra. And not worn four inch mules to walk across cobbles and use a hole in the ground toilet in an Italian bar. No spills or accidents, just rather too much concentration needed.
I'm saving the coupon for a later date. This morning I had ricotta cheese mixed with raspberry jam on thin wasa crackers. And coffee.
Eggs again. :D This time I mixed in cheese.
Picked some peaches a few days ago.
For breakfast this morning, I had a big bowl of Wheaties with a cut up peach on top.
I'm concerned about bbro's cholesterol levels.
I'm worried BigV might have gone blind.
Breakfast tomorrow: Almond milk and a banana 'cuz that is what is on my list of allowable foods. Not very filling, but I surprisingly love almond milk and actually switched to it a couple of years ago. I still get cow's milk every once in awhile.
Oh! and I found out you can use almond milk to make pudding. I wasn't sure you could in case it was some protein or something in the milk that made the pudding thick or that it wouldn't taste gross. But it works and tastes yummy! I have found that french toast made with almond milk tastes pretty nasty though, not sure why.
I honestly don't see what the mystery is about making tea - the cheapest greasy spoon cafe can do it? Then again the cheapest greasy spoon usually makes fantastic soft yolk fried eggs, a skill I've never mastered.
The trick that works for me is to get the griddle/pan REALLY hot before I put the egg in. I usually cook 'em in butter, not good for you, but oil pops too much and just doesn't taste right. I poke holes in the white stuff so it spreads out thin gets cooked all the with out the yolk having to cook any longer. Turning it is hard to describe, my mom can flip it with the pan, but I have to use a spatula, I'm not as daring. When I flip I just make sure to get the spatula mostly under the yolk (choosing the 'right' spatula is important" and then I barely lift the egg just enough to get the white part turned, then I pick up the pan and tilt it at an angle so that I can lay the yolk part down gently. Only let it cook a few more seconds, maybe poking the white part again, and then slide the egg gently onto a plate!
Maybe I should make you a video of it...
I'm concerned about bbro's cholesterol levels.
LOL - My cholesterol is just fine.....well except for my triglycerides, but that's for another thread.
I had a sandwich today.
MTP - like the pricking advice but not having anything to do with the flipping. Oh no.
Like circumcision, it's not often done over here.
Or is that pricking advice again?
When I fry eggs, I put a lid over the top of the pan. That way the steam lightly poaches the top of the eggs while the bottom is fried. The best thing is if you have a glass lid because then you can see when the eggs are just done, but the yoke is not cooked.
Exactly how I do it. AUSSIE SOLIDARITY!
Never thought of that.
Hmmmm. Will consider it, thanks.
Another lovely shake for brekkers this morning.
Gag.
I'm going to take my son (younger) out for waffles. While he is eating his waffles, I will be illuminating the many ways things will have to Change Around Here IF he continues to live here. Example - my water bill went from 150.00 to 60.00 after he moved out. I'm not asking him to pay the water bill - just to be aware of the water bill. And the fact that meals don't make themselves nor do dishes play in hot soapy water at night and magically appear in the cupboard the next morning!! He's 19, he's on scholarship, he works and maintains his own car, but come ON. Throw out your pizza box once in a while, would ya? Sheesh.
So. Waffles.
You've got a solid play right there, to be followed by Waffles the musical then the film adaptation. James Franco plays the unsuspecting son of a woman who is about to rewrite the rule book.
griff, that is awesome!
It's relevent, it's relatable, it's got James Franco --- I think we've got a hit!
todays breakfast was coffee , croissant and butter

I do get tired of this country some days... would someone like to come over and open an IHOP near me?
Me want some croissant and coffee. Just had a bowl of Cheerios and 4 strawberries. Will drink my espresso then off to do chores. :D
Not jealous now.
Just finished dinner and put it on to rest.
ETA - took the rest of the post to the Dinner thread...
Waffle and ground turkey with sausage seasoning mixed in. It needs more pepper and I might try more sage next time, too.
Shake again today, and tomorrow, and the next day....
But Thursday morning - BUFFET BREAKFAST!
Way to undo all my good work for the last week :)
Buffet breakfast (or brunch) is the best thing in the world.
If'n I rubbed the lamp, you can forget world peace. A buffet breakfast is one of my three wishes.
As usual: a big coffeepot, strong, black, one sugar cube per mug
Coffee.
Banananananananananana.
grapes and generic nutella.
Waffles and sausage again. Tomorrow will be waffles with peanut butter and jelly instead of syrup :D
It's 1452 and I still don't know.
Having a hard time getting started today.
managed coffee, but nothing else in the house is sufficiently appealing.
Don't feel like making pancakes, don't feel like going out to get any, either.
Damn.
Ended up with cottage cheese and strawberries, around 1600.
Found out why I wasn't hungry.
Treating with Pepto.
Tea and dry toast for dinner, I think.
Just picked up Ed Hipps Turkey Canadian Bacon over the weekend, along with some 'lite' American cheese slices.
I'm picking up some English Muffins from a bread outlet near work tomorrow. We recently bought some frying rings like the fast food places use to make those round egg patties.
This weekend we will be making fast food egg muffin sandwiches.
When I fry eggs, I put a lid over the top of the pan. That way the steam lightly poaches the top of the eggs while the bottom is fried. The best thing is if you have a glass lid because then you can see when the eggs are just done, but the yoke is not cooked.
I do it that way too. Usually cooked harder, but it works soft too. I've quite given up the old-school way of using a lot of bacon-dripping and spooning the hot fat repeatedly over the yolk. Now I don't have to involve as much bacon fat.
Coffee.
Banananananananananaanana
Coffee and leftover falafel with tziki. delish.
Today plain old waffle - tomorrow, repeat of peanut butter and jelly waffle.
This weekend I will be trying out a new recipe for a crustless quiche with my own variations.
Had my first real breakfast in 10 days yesterday.
It was a Full Welsh & Continental breakfast buffet, but I was SO VERY restrained.
I had protein and fruit.
A slice of turkey, ham and cottage cheese and a boiled egg.
Grapefruit slice and grapes and apple.
And two cups of tea.
I did not have sauteed potatoes (although looked grim tbh), beans, toast, scrambled or fried egg, bacon, sausages, cereal or pastries.
I'm quite pleased with myself.
Therefore I didn't take a photo, as what I had was not mouthwatering enough.
Quick background. We stayed Tuesday night at an Etap hotel. £18 for the room.
Breakfast was offered at £3.95 per person, but looked to be a poor Continental selection so we declined and had a boring diet shake.
The next night was our free night at the far more upmarket Park Inn - my bro won it in a charity raffle and passed it onto us. Mum suggested extending the stay, but the Park Inn wanted £138 per room, which is why we booked the Etap the night before instead! Breakfast was included however.
But look at this from a decent looking, clean cafe, not 10 minutes walk away:
The Legend is a 20 PIECE MEAL! If you finish it, you get a voucher for the next one half price.
Pays to do your homework when you're short on cash I can tell you.
Sorry about the quality, I nipped in to get a pic and didn't want to look like a rival breakfast purveyor, spying on them. As above we didn't eat there.
no spam ?????????????????
Effie's homemade pecan nutcakes.
Eff me but they're good!
Got 'em at Whole Foods yesterday along with some dates and Tazo teas. Yum.
mmmmmm, quiche. :yum:
But:
Bananananananananana. Coffee.
Some of you guys really don't eat enough breakfast.
Back in the last century, Percival Christopher Wren wondered in print if the Continental breakfast bore a responsibility for Continental politics. I think he had a point -- a croissant burns through rather too quickly, and coffee only speeds the effect. You're left stranded by about 10:30 in the morning. I know I need something that burns pretty slowly to stay right until lunch.
makes us less full of shit, though.....
...which neatly frames the actual problem: too much likelihood of constipation. Hadn't thought of it that way, not being exactly a disciple of Dr. Kellogg.
I have been eating yogurt with a crushed granola bar and some cocoa roasted almonds - they weren't getting me very far (surprise!) so I switched it to a snack and had a hard boiled egg for breakfast again.
1.0 hardboiled eggs?
LOL - yep. Just 1.0 with .5 TBSP mayo :P
I had a solid breakfast today, yay!
Just didn't fancy a shake.
A small bowl of Bran Flakes with skimmed milk.
And a decaff tea. Exciting.
Coffee and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Delish!
makes us less full of shit, though.....
hahaha. Nice.
Potato and Onion pierogies with caramelized onions :D
Blueberry pancakes made from scratch, which my nephew helped me make, or I helped him make. His idea and he did half of the work so whichever way you want to see it. :p:
Mmm. Fresh blueberries, flour, sugar, pinch of salt, milk and baking powder?
...and egg. :p: I had to use frozen blueberries because the store didn't have any fresh ones.
Scrambled eggs and bacon, toast and a croissant.
At rge glorious Alamo B&B.
I left enough room for lunch though -leftovers from last night eaten on the ferry to Arran with Limey.
Peanut butter and banana on toast.
It was good.
just finished breakfast for me and the boys
blueberry waffles
sage sausage
pineapple orange mango juice
chocolate milk
coffee for me
Tomorrow will be a turkey, bacon and cheese sandwich with waffles as bread :)
Phantom face in that brekker, bbro.
LOL - Sundae - didn't even see that. Nice catch :D
Phantom face in that brekker, bbro.
:lol2:
Funny!
Max and I had blueberry and apple porridge.
I was only going to put blueberries in, but Max wanted apple, so we had both...
...and it was good. :)

I keep meaning to do that, but usually forget by the time morning shows up. Do you put the blueberries in early in the cooking process or late?
About the middle. Same with the apple so it doesn't go to mush but stays a bit lumpy but soft. :)
Cold thin gruel. Keryx is putting me on a diet, no bacon the absolute horror.
She says suffer in silence, I say yes ma'am
lol, poor you fargon. Good luck with the starving. ;)
Max and I had wheatbix for breaky today. Wonder of wonders, Max fed the whole lot to himself. Normally he gives up with the shovelling about half way through and i have to feed him 'like a baby' to the end.
Oh shit, didn't get any Weetabix while running errands today.
I have the same breakfast every day: Weetabix with milk and a bit of sugar.
Well, actually, it's the supermarket's own brand "Wheat Biscuits" because we're too cheap for the brand name. But they're absolutely identical.
Wheaties with about a half a cup of frozen blueberries on top. Organic whole milk. Maybe about a cup's worth.

Anybody else amused by the combination of organic milk and chemically enhanced cardboard?
Now mind you, I'm a big fan of chemically enhanced cardboard, but the organic milk should be recoiling in horror ... organic milk goes with something tasteless, full of roughage, and supposed to be good for you.
I know what's really going on here ... I saw those boxes with Mary Lou Retton in the supermarket.
Well, it's about taste. Organic milk tastes better.
And nobody ever thought Mary Lou tasted all that bad either.
Those are vintage boxes now, if they're like... Olympic.
Fruit smoothie:
1 banananananana
7 strawberries
1/2 tin of pears with a spoon of the syrup
100 ml semi-skimmed milk
tablespoon of single cream
tea spoon of honey
bit of powdered nutmeg
Blend for ages.
Drink and enjoy!
Didn't want brekkers today.
Mornings is when I cough up whatever I've stored overnight. (Sorry)
But when I got my new steroids I knew I had to eat before I took them.
Poking about in the cupboards I found a bag of pretzels bought in happier times. So I had some of them, sat on the sofa, watching Jeremy Kyle and popping pills (eight).
I am so classy.
Fruit smoothie:
1 banananananana
7 strawberries
1/2 tin of pears with a spoon of the syrup
100 ml semi-skimmed milk
tablespoon of single cream
tea spoon of honey
bit of powdered nutmeg
Blend for ages.
Drink and enjoy!
maybe you need a different blender.
First breakfast was a banana, goat yogurt, and honey, as always.
Second breakfast was supposed to be Rice Chex, blueberries, and almond milk--but the dang stepkids ate all the Rice Chex and didn't put it on the list!!
So it had to be a cinnamon bun with icing instead. Wasn't my fault. Nothing to be done.

ONE rasher? fucking diet brekkie, that's what.
Pot Noodle...
Yah. I know.
ONE rasher? fucking diet brekkie, that's what.
Though you have to admit it is agile. Not many breakfasts can turn on a dime like that one.
Rhianne wouldn't even have one (rasher - and maybe not even the sausages - in fact I wonder if the whole breakfast is suspect from her point of view!)
I admit I'm partial to the child's breakfast at Wetherspoons - 1 each egg, sausage, bacon & tablespoon of beans. But you have to ask for your egg yolk runny, or they cook the bejesus out of it to avoid lawsuits. Or sumsuch.
Still a bit crook in the mornings.
Had a Diet Shake.
Well, it has the right balance of proteins and carbs and whatnot and I can slip it down fairly easily.
Bearing in mind I couldn't finish a bowl of chicken noodle soup at lunch I think it's a good plan for starting the day. So probably the same tomorrow.
Rhianne wouldn't even have one (rasher - and maybe not even the sausages - in fact I wonder if the whole breakfast is suspect from her point of view!)
You're right - I'd run away scared from something like that! I'm a toast and cerial sort of person but that stuff isn't so photogenic.
I saw the picture at a website I use (deviantart.com) and thought it might look good in this thread.
It's a good minature.
That's what *she* said.
lol @Bri
For breakfast (by which I mean my first meal, but actually eaten at lunchtime) I had toasted bananananana and almond butter sandwiches. Made with doorstep slices from fresh loaf from the bakery. Mmm.
kamut toast with peanut butter.
What's For Breakfast?
One of those 17 grams of protein, 3 grams of carbs, chocolate shakes in the little cardboard container.
You see, I'm getting my ripped guns on.
Muffets with blueberries ... Muffetts! I've only found them in Canada. I know they're just shredded wheat, but there's something about that round shape. Probably a nostalgic childhood thing. Still - I'm always happy when Muffetts are on the breakfast menu. Now if I just had some northern wild blueberries to go with them ... mmmm
shit! i missed breakfast. guess i'll jump ahead and make atlantic trout with fresh dill and garlic with butter and chipotle seasoning.
Fresh-picked raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Soon as I go out and pick 'em, that is. :p:
Most of my breakfasts are pretty minimalist, toast or bagel with hummus or peanutbutter, often one piece of each. I alternate this with either hot or cold cereal depending on my mood and whether I have milk in the fridge.
Today is my day off, so I went all out.
Scrambled egg sandwich with cheese and maple sausage.
yummers.
I made a pasta bake for breakfast earlier this week that I am trying to bring myself to finish. I have been on a scrambled egg kick.....with stuff added of course. When I can get to the grocery store (read get paid :) ), I think I will go back to my handy hard boiled eggs.

I had a bowl of oatmeal but not like most people eat because I hate sweet stuff for breakfast. I make up a batch of steel cut oatmeal ever few days that will make a couple of bowls during the week since steel cut takes longer to make.
I add a half an avocado chopped up, a handful of walnuts and a scoop of plain humus and nuke it in the microwave. Sometimes I add a little feta cheese. Sounds weird but it's helped lower my cholesterol.
a reasonable bowl of farina (Cream of Wheat) with a pat of butter and powdered honey for sweetener.
Why, yes! I *am* trying to drop some weight! Thank you for noticing!
Pam
how is eating oatmeal in the summer? It seems like more of a winter food.

I turn up the air conditioning enough to simulate a winter morning. if 65 is good enough for the winter, it's good enough for the summer, people!
No damn Wheaties left, ya gotta eat something!

:lol2:
I had baked beans.
We are having a bumper crop of tomatoes and my wife, being from Tennessee likes them fried up and covered with home made gravy! Sunday breakfast for us is a bit more than during the week when it's usually oatmeal, toast or yogurt.
1. The garden with the breakfast circled.
2. Making the roux after frying the floured tomato slices in the bacon grease. She also adds some chopped up bits of green tomato for a bit of crunch.
3. Tomatoes keeping warm in the oven.
4. Breakfast!
Back to oatmeal tomorrow!
:lol2:
I had baked beans.
Oh, you wacky Aussies.
Did you at least wash that down with a Big Barrel?
no pictures of breakfast, but there were chocolate croissants, bear claws with almonds, and cinnamon buns with pecans from
Larsen's Danish Bakery. They were delicious. And coffee of course.
Since this is a birthday month for one of us, my wife and I were able to get a free brunch for the birthday at a local hotel. This made the $24 brunch a buy-one-get-one-free affair.
http://www.concordville.com/concordville/pdf/Concordville_sundaybrunch.pdf
Neither of us dipped into the all-you-can-drink mimosas, but she put a nice dent in the lox and had chocolate cake for dessert.
I had:
hot chocolate
iced tea
prime rib
crab cakes
cheese omelet
toasted bagel with lox and cream cheese
bacon
sausage
home fries (more like potatoes obrien)
cheesecake
I passed on the make you own waffles and the chocolate fountain this time around
Oh, you wacky Aussies.

What's a Big Barrel? lol
Today I had museli. (far out I wish I could figure out how to spell that word lol)
I had oven baked chicken tenders and throw together pasta salad. Sooooo good :) Might have it again tomorrow! Well, the pasta salad anyways. I think the chicken is all good.....maybe a turkey sandwich ;)
Cornflakes this morning. I think they're going a bit stale - I haven't had them for quite a while.
Mum keeps eating my bananas, which is fair enough as I let them go over and anyway I don't really pay my way here. It's just ironic that on the mornings I feel up for a frozen berry shake (the 'nana adds bulk, I can't taste it) I come down to an empty banana tree and "banana's" [sic] on the shopping list.
We have a surfeit of eggs at the moment.
Might have scrambled tomorrow.
Unlikely, my stomach doesn't wake up until about 10.00. Nice thought though.
If the only thing you eat them in is a frozen shake, you should freeze your bananas! It's important to peel them first. When you're ready to use one, just let it thaw a tiny bit, or stick it in a microwave for about 10 seconds, and then the blender should be able to handle it, no problem.
"My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana. I said 'No, but I want a regular banana later, so... yeah.'"
-- Mitch Hedberg
Frozen bananas eh?
Not a bad idea. I might even slice them first, so I don't have to have a whole banana at a time. Mum can also help herself as she only ever has them sliced on her cereal and does occasionally leave half a 'nana in the fridge for the next day.
Microwave burrito(s), Doritos, Ginger Ale. RFN.
:yum:
You're my hero.
I had oreo cookies and milk.
I haven't had it yet.
I have a craving for something and I don't know what it is.
Oh I lie. I did have a glass of milk with strawberry syrup to wash down my meds.
Turkey, colby jack and bacon sandwich on a toasted everything bagel. I heated up the turkey in the same pan after the bacon was done - without the grease. On the side, cherries and coleslaw - OH YEA!
Turkey, colby jack and bacon sandwich on a toasted everything bagel...On the side, cherries and coleslaw - OH YEA!
I think a run to Subway might be in order this afternoon.
I've never had cherries and coleslaw. Cherries
in the coleslaw? Sounds kinda good.
Do not soil cherries with coleslaw. PLEASE.
Won't somebody think of the children?
lol - the children are safe Sundae - the cherries and coleslaw were separate. I even had the cherries in a separate bowl.
Grav - I like my coleslaw simple - cabbage, carrots, maybe onions and dressing. There was a couple recipes for cherry salsa that I want to try though.
Today I had egg salad on homemade bread (that I forgot to add the butter to) and pretzels. Can you tell I will eat anything for breakfast :)
Watching Man Vs Food (not an impeccable source I will admit) I noted that "slaw" in some places looked like chopped cabbage and carrot. Given that my main issue with coleslaw is the flavour of the sauce, perhaps I am being too picky. I could easily eat cherries with cabbage and carrots, if sliced thinly.
I also note that it is cherry season with you now (from the sign in Thame market advertising American Cherry's). We have such a short season here. Not only does it make me feel bad to buy imported for ecological/ patriotic reasons, I also believe fruit that has to come from halfway around the world (Chile is usual for cherries) can never be as good as something freshly picked.
Penny, my cherry tree, gave me one cherry this year. But she's a baby and one cherry was a bonus. I will sing to her next year to encourage growth. I will rate my singing by the fruit she produces. I'm not telling her I know where the secateurs are - too much pressure.
I bought the cherries because they are on sale - I have no clue where they come from. Bad me - I never pay attention to where my vegetables and fruits come from. If they are on sale at a reasonable price, I get them.
Northern Michigan produces lots of cherries. They are in season right now, although I think the hot dry summer may have affected crops a little. On vacation in Wisconsin the "local produce" stores were getting all excited about Michigan Cherries just in...... Can't imagine how Chile has similar weather/growing conditions.
For breakfast we had crepes. The adults had them filled with mushrooms and cheese, and they were yummy.
It's actually almost lunch time, so I will be microwaving leftover beef jalapeno sausages and punjab style samosas (potato and pea).
I do have some granola and dried marshmallow bits (the 'charms' in Lucky Charms) left, but I can't figure out where they fit in...:D
Some people say "Eat a live frog in the morning and nothing worse can happen to you the rest of the day." With jalapeno and curry, who needs frogs?
I had pecan waffles and bacon. Not as good as it sounds, though
I do like samosas, greasy as they are.
When I lived in Leicester the shop two doors down sold home-made samosas as well as curries. My favourite were the chicken ones. Minced chicken, and with a bit of a kick, but not one that lasted long enough to make you sweat.
They also let me buy things on tick, so yes - I was a regular customer!
Oh and bless them, I got a refund for bringing the plastic box back. Nothing much - 20p maybe, but I applauded the gesture.
Bbro, we saw lots of pecan pies in Oxford on Friday.
Not common here. Not in Aylesbury anyway.
I'm an inveterate food-window-shopper. I even go into deli's and poke about and ask questions with no intention of buying. It makes me happy.
I suggested to Mum the preponderance of the pecan was due to the number of Americans transplanted to the city of dreaming spires. It's quite possible.
I really must write up our trip.
Only two photos of food. It's hard to know where to start in a place like Oxford. I must go back alone, Mum finds my hair and my bulk slightly awkward, let alone stopping to take photos of everyday things like pigs heads, real truffles and pecan pies.
Sundae - I am actually not a huge fan of pies. My mom used to make a pecan pie every Christmas that would disappear in minutes. Still never tasted it, though.
Today is eggs, velveeta, and bacon sandwich with milk.
Two eggs over easy, 3 pcs peppered bacon, grits w/raisins, (fake)buttered toast, and a big ol' glass of milk-flavored water (fat-free skim)
Gravdgr: Try organic skim milk. It tastes better than the regular skim milk.
Today i had toasted museli with yoghurt and fruit compot followed by bacon, sauteed mushrooms, grilled tomato haeh hrowns ane a sausage. I also drank a very bitter cup of coffee.
Yesterday I had Greek yogurt with granola.
Today, I have to go to work, so time is more limited... Jimmy Dean delight English muffin, egg white and turkey sausage swammich. 240 calories, and delish.
Reheated a bowl of steel cut oatmeal that is cooked with a bit of farro, wild rice and flax seeds. Stirred in a tbs of hummus and a mashed half avocado. Topped with some skillet browned bits of mushroom and a scrambled egg. Basically complex carbs and a touch of protien.
Frosted flakes and a mug of tea.
I ate breakfast just now (2pm) so...kinda breakfast, but maybe lunch. Not brunch though, 'cause that sits between the two.
Potato croquettes with bacon bits, a small tin of pizza tortellini and mushrooms cooked in butter.
Very tasty.
I had a "breakfast" biscuit. Picking through all the things I bought when I thought sobriety brought instant health...
Still, weight loss would be helpful. Still another 20lbs to go. Which I hope to achieve by the party on 30.11.13. I know that's relatively fast, but I have a lot of bad habits to drop.
Let's think... although it's technically your breakfast it is in fact after lunch.
We need a word to suggest an afternoon breakfast. Brekkum? As in a breakfast in the pm?
But then you don't really eat breakfast food. Maybe just an aftnooner. Even though that sounds more like sex...
Afterfaster? Any food eaten as the first meal of the day in the afternoon?
Then again, that sounds a bit like a eupho for bulimia...
I'm working on it for you.
We might just have to go with a Dana.

A big bowl of wheaties!
I have a relative in the coin trading business, and I heard an amusing story about Wheaties recently. Some number of decades ago, Wheaties wanted to do a little promotion where they would include a Lincoln
wheat penny as the prize in every box of Wheaties for a month.
As they started buying piles and piles of them, the price was artificially raised to the point that Wheaties would be losing a ton of money with the promotion, but they had already invested a certain amount in developing advertising and whatnot for it, so they persisted anyway. In the end, however, it was determined that there were not even enough wheat pennies in existence to put one in every box of cereal Wheaties sold in a month. They could have done it for a couple of weeks, but by this point they were pissed off, so they just scrapped the whole idea and re-sold the pennies to collectors to recoup their losses.
Except in doing so they flooded the market, artificially driving the price down, and thus lost
even more money.
Poor, stupid Wheaties guys!
Apple & Rhubarb juice with my pills, and muesli.
Had to have semi-skimmed milk though, we'd run out of skimmed.
Luckily I live in a house with a magic fridge where things like milk and butter routinely appear. Nice fruit juices don't, sadly.
Aren't you the one working at the market? :eyebrow:
Not the market; Waitrose. An up-market supermarket. And not yet eligible for staff discount iirc.
Every day for breakfast I have fruits and oatmeal.
Nice.
Welcome to the Cellar Joy!
Every day for breakfast I have fruits and oatmeal.
Do you ever get tired having the same thing for breakfast every day? Or is the morning routine comforting?
On the mornings where I work nights, I skip breckie and create a fried egg sandwich on a tortilla, with some PC Blue Menu soup, a tall glass of skim milk (diet) and some fruit. Delish and filling.
Rice Krispies and Pomegreat (pomegranate juice.)
Unusual for me to have "normal" cereal for brekkers but I spotted it in the cupboard in craved.
Back on hard routine tomorrow.
Have snacked. Should I be smacked?
I bag beetroot crisps and TWO poppadums! That's Posh Spice's weekly calorie intake for a week!
Do you ever get tired having the same thing for breakfast every day? Or is the morning routine comforting?
:lol: I hear you saying this in a Dad-knows-best kind of voice. "Kids, is it a good idea to stay up all night and eat a whole tub of ice cream? Or is it better to feel healty and rested?"
Sounds like the intro to a commercial for bran flakes...
Exactly!
Although, I was thinking Wheaties.
Coffee, 2 Kiwis blended with nonfat yogurt over Cheerios.
Muesli day today.
Real health kick starts Friday 25/10.
Going to start blending my own shakes again.
Which is gonna be hell three days a week - my 06.30 starts I mean.
May have to recruit Mum - if I promise to put the blender & glass in hot soapy water, would she wash them for me?
Unless I make it the night before and then just manually shake it into life.
Might be better.
Shakes are skimmed milk, frozen mixed berries & one (I can't believe I'm saying this) banana. Aside from occasional burps I don't taste the 'nana, it's there for potassium and bulk.
If I defrost the berries when I get home, blend them with the 'nana and milk at teatime. Then I can just shake them up and have them with my meds. Soddit. Going to go back to SlimFast and have a home-made shake for lunch!
It's only short term. Gotta lose weight before end of November/ Christmas/ seeing the girls early January. But gotta do it right by my liver.
Fried fish (cooked from frozen), homemade creamy chicken noodle side, corn. So, it may have started as my lunch, but I wanted it, so bfast it became :)
omelet made from fresh eggs my chickens laid. the yolks are so orange
Chips and candy.....I love being an adult :)
Coffee, milk, honey graham (crackers) with peanut butter. One pear.
Two cheese sandwiches.....

Looks like Domo
Great.
Now I need a new toaster. Thanks Jim.
Fried haloumi slices on toast. Delish.
Coffee, whole grain toast, 2 eggs over Quinoa with some Whickel's hot tomatoe relish on top. Fig perserves.
Wawa Turkey sausage, egg white, cheese on a bagel. It's my favorite sizzly.
Dan made us a ham & cheese omelet with toast.
biscuits and gravy from scratch, hot black coffee for me, quad shot mocha for Twil. Served in bed.
Oatmeal with golden raisins, iced black coffee.
Greek style yoghurt with boisenberries.
10 grain cereal, with dried cherries.

fresh coffee :joylove:
Corned beef hash, cheeze grits, and eggs. I been good.
Didn't have Wheaties this morning.
It's snowing out there, so we're playing hookie from church, and I fried up some scrapple on the griddle and made a loaf's worth of French toast. My wife cut up a bunch of the marching band fundraising oranges and grapefruit into a nice citrus fruit cocktail. Round the whole thing out with some real maple syrup, and it was a nice breakfast.
Deer camp grub

I had everything :)
Good lord, did you finish that?:eek:
I have some great breakfast photos for you, as soon as I can work out how to get them on here (here being the iPod Limey has wonderfully gifted me as she has a new one).
Although nothing from this morning.
I ate so much yesterday that I really didn't fancy anything until gone midday.
I got three out of four letters right, that's pretty good for me!
Bruschetta and milk for breakers this morning, plus two of the little Italian biscuit-things from Limey's Secret Santa hamper.
sliced pork pie in a wholemeal roll, no butter margarine pickle relish or other garnish.
followed by another wholemeal roll, unbuttered again, filled with sliced pork pie just for variety.
green tea, (no milk no sugar obviously)
Rice, eggs and mango juice.
Sounds yummy...hehe

Right.
A full and proper account of my Glasgow/ Arran will be written in another thread at some point.
This is just to get me back into the reportage swing of things.
Scottish breakfasts from last Friday onwards.
For reasons to be explained later I had to go to a local pub when I arrived 3 January. No danger of drinking myself silly; Glasgow laws mean that you can't buy alcohol until 11.00, but certain pubs are open for breakfast and generally cheaper than local cafes. And have bigger and better toilets.
Anyway
1) Sausage, bacon and fried egg in a white bread bloomer sandwich.
Impossible to pick up, so I ate it with a knife and fork. I'm such a Sassenach.
2) Despite my ridiculously early arrival at the Alamo (same morning), the owner Steve offered breakfast. A meal I was not in any way entitled to. I declined of course, but when pressed accepted more tea. It came with shortbread.
The next morning we had proper, sanctioned breakfast at the Alamo.
As mentioned in another time, another place, there are various options. I used those options to have a three course breakfast...
1) This is actually Dana's breakfast. She had toast too (as did I)
2) My first course, croissant. Then I had one rasher of bacon and a small spoon of scrambled egg.
And then...
I had the healthy option.
Which I suppose is only really healthy if you haven't had the rest.
1) Fruit salad topped by muesli, topped by yoghurt. All washed down with tea.
The next morning Limey and I had breakfast on the boat to Arran.
We split a Large Breakfast.
2) My choices were fried egg, bacon, beans and white toast.
Limey had fried egg, sausage, tomato and brown toast.
She had coffee, I had tea and a good time was had by all.
And finally.
Breakfast on my own on the boat back.
Tea and toast only.
It tasted like the end of a holiday.
With the exception of the shortbread and tea and the toast and tea, it all looks great! It's not Wheaties, but I'd eat it anyway.
Sounds yummy...hehe
It's not bad. Enough of the rice though. After the first month back here, I've had enough of the rice.
Plain rice, mango juice and rice, Coke and rice, fried rice, steamed rice, hard rice, soft rice, happy rice and sad rice, Japanese rice, Korean rice, Dragon rice, NFA rice, Jasmine rice.
Enough already. :blush:
Now the fresh mangos, on the other hand, could be a part of one meal a day for a few months without burning me out.
1) This is actually Dana's breakfast. She had toast too (as did I)
2) My first course, croissant. Then I had one rasher of bacon and a small spoon of scrambled egg.
My wife: What for you want me cook you breakfast?*
slang: Hmm. I'll have a
double Dana's breakfast please. And...a
double Sundae croissant. With real butter, no margarine please. All that without need for an Imodium.
[SIZE="1"]* - my wife speaks very good English but many people here speak like this. You know what they are saying but you still chuckle just a bit as they talk to you.[/SIZE]
pbj and coffee
Hey, that sounds good too.
2) My first course, croissant. Then I had one rasher of bacon and a small spoon of scrambled egg.
Is that apple juice? Or maybe a quad shot of Southern Comfort? Just wonderin'
Slang, if you don't know by now, Asians need their rice....everyday. In college, I knew this Japanese American. He spoke poor Japanese for he grew up here with his Japanese mother while his American father stayed in Japan. Wait, that doesn't make sense. But I remember correctly that his mom is Japanese because I borrowed her kimono for something. Anyways, he once told me that he needs rice everyday. If he doesn't eat rice, he misses it. Another example, my mom feels that we need to eat rice. If we don't serve her meals with rice more than 2 days, she'll ask for it. She even gets on my case if I don't pack rice for lunch for my nephew. My mom would nag me to cook rice in the morning. What for, I ask. To bring for lunch! Why? I'm packing chicken nuggets. The poor baby! He hasn't had rice for 2 days! :D
Slang, if you don't know by now, Asians need their rice....everyday.
It's true. People get cranky without their rice.
It's easy to get here. And cheap so that's good.
Your gut bacteria crave whatever they are used to eating, because by definition you have grown species that thrive on what you've historically eaten. Rice is a unique starch that encourages very specific bacteria. If you build up your colony by eating a bunch of rice every day, then suddenly starve them by not eating rice for two days, they will literally begin dying and releasing toxins that make you grumpy and tell your brain to get them the food they need before the colony perishes.

You've not been around recently, so you wouldn't know; I have a damaged liver and am not allowed to drink.
And even
I would have been hard pushed to drink that much Southern Comfort for brekkers!
So yes, apple juice.
And I don't know if it was mine or Dana's. I refilled a couple of times with different juice and tossed them all off in a single swallow.
Some habits are hard to unlearn.
You've not been around recently, so you wouldn't know; I have a damaged liver and am not allowed to drink.
Oops. Sorry to hear that Sundae.

Oh ny gosh, I didnt know that. How interesting. Woukd that be the same for any food, i. e. chips, fast food, etc.?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Sort of. Not every food is unique enough to encourage a radically different combination of bacteria--most fruit is biologically pretty similar, for example, lots of fructose and fiber. And not every species of gut bacteria has evolved the same ability to affect the human brain in the same way. Plus, nothing happens in a vacuum; even as one species starves, another thrives to fill the niche. What we're just now figuring out is what
other things these bacteria do for us. Some bacteria that thrive on high-fiber diets, for example, have
recently been discovered to release substances that help modulate our immune systems. Without fiber, they never grow, and your immune system maybe doesn't get everything it needs. But just like tending a garden, you have to consistently eat fiber every day for the colony to thrive--fruit once in awhile will get you a dose of vitamins, which is good, but it will not keep the bacteria going. You are what you eat.
You are what you eat.
that means politicians must eat a hell of a lot of arseholes.

How's your climate on dairy cows? The Holsteins seem to suffer when they end up in the Southern US, but you've got mountains.
How's your climate on dairy cows?
They've been milking cows there for over 30 years. The milk tastes great and they have plenty of customers. The climate seems to work out for them.
Every time we go there I have more questions. They are milking 15 cows a day now. Each gives about 8 gallons a day. They have a milking machine just like the American farms have.
They don't want to answer any more questions about their cows. I make them nervous with my questions.
Heifers are seen on the surrounding hillsides but not in numbers that one would think would be needed for a herd this size.
If there is a chance to get more info on the cows or to get into the barn I'll do so. The farmers are a little freaked out about me asking more questions about their cows. :blush:
They have horses too, maybe I'll start asking more about them instead.
The cows lie!! The cows lie!! :haha:
The cows lie!! The cows lie!! :haha:
Do you think they produce less than 8 gallons a day, Bruce? What would be your guess or is there something else that they might be lying about?
It's the punch line to a joke, slang

Yes, about a woman who can converse with animals appearing at a farm. The farmer didn't care until she wanted to talk to the sheep. He yells, "The sheep lie".

Bottle of Vanilla Slimfast this morning.
Well, I left the house at 05.05 and knew I'd be surrounded by bread lovely bread until my break at 09.00.
At which time I had a bread roll with low fat soft cheese, and an apple.
breakfast today was pot of tea (no milk no sugar) and wholemeal bread roll, dry, (without any butter margarine or other spread) filled with sliced pork pie.
not just the meat filling, the whole pork pie pastry and all.
tomorrow will be a packet of rough oatcakes and a banana. and tea of course
Cinnamon swirl french bread for tomorrow with half a honey crisp apple that was the size of softball. Boring old eggs for today
Special day: Whipped chocolate vodka with heavy cream. I don't plan on doing much today, so I'll probably have Birthday cake vodka for lunch
I want birthday cake vodka.
But instead I'll probably have a SlimFast.
I really need to get outta bed and get to work.
I'm messing about in here instead of putting on make-up. Well, no one sees me when I'm on Bakery, it's not a customer facing position. Hmmmmm. Wonder why I've been transferred onto there two mornings a week?
babe, you don't need make-up. god already made you beautiful. not a customer facing position? maybe they want to attract business with that cute butt
Awwww.
I'm going to work with a smile on my face now.
maybe they just need people to bake in the mornings?
They do at that :)
It's not a popular shift and has already seen off three members of staff. They used flattering words when they transferred me, like copes-well-under-pressure and reliable and flexible.
It'll get easier.
It's not the early start so much as the sheer volume of work to get through in a limited amount of time. But I felt like that about being on set-up for Deli to start with, and now I have enough spare time to make serious inroads into the weekly and monthly cleaning schedules.
The SlimFasts have worked really well though.
I drink them on the way, so no extra time spent, or washing up. And I keep my greedy fingers off the merchandise. Because although it wouldn't feel like stealing...
I've been buying cans of corned beef hash and making a breakfast bowl.
Empty can of corned beef hash into microwave safe bowl and scoop out depression in middle. Put two eggs into depression. Break yolks and microwave covered for 6 minutes (1000 watt oven). Place two slices of American cheese on top and microwave for another 1 minute.
The eggs are only soft boiled at that point. They can be eaten that way or if mixed into the hash become solid.
Left over pizza and jalapeno poppers from the Super Bowl Party. I found out old folks don't need to do this. please, please put me out of my misery

Just don't show Mr Limey - I think he'd OD on that stuff (do you mean tins of corned beef hash, UK style, ie corned beef and potatoes?)
Sent by thought transference
That's the stuff, Limey.
Hormel's 213gr can yields 349 calories, 196 from fat, 78.7 from carbs, and 74.4 from protein.
Of course 213gr (7.5oz) is a small can, they also have 15oz(425gr) and 25oz(709gr), if Mr Limey wants a manly breakfast. :haha:
I'd have to make the corned beef hash, we only get the corned beef in tins, without the potatoes. Still it's a nice idea for a special breakfast for ma mayan, or even supper ...
Sent by thought transference
is canned corned beef really expensive there now, Limey? price went through the roof here -more expensive /lb than real fresh beef. :(
We sell corned beef on the Deli counter.
Customers think it is fresh because we slice it for them. I mean it's fresh in that it has to be refrigerated, but only once we've opened the... Yup, tin.
It's the cheapest cut on the counter. Well, that and tongue, which also comes in a large tin.
From memory it's 90p per 100g, as opposed to our Aberdeen Angus-sired rare roast beef which is £2.99. Then again, we usually slice the roast beef very fine.
but did canned corned beef go up a lot in the last 10 years? Like threefold?
I admit I can't say.
It's been an intermittent purchase in this house. I know cornflakes have gone up in price since I lived and budgeted alone, but that's as close as I can come.
The canned corned beef hash is about 1/3 corned beef and 2/3 potatoes. A 15oz (425gr) can is $1.69 which is about 1.23 euros and 1.05 GBP.
It's cheap stuff but I love it. I buy it at the US ALDI supermarket near work.
Yeah, you can buy the hash here too.
I tend to just go for corned beef. That way I can have a couple of slices cold with some hot potatoes for one meal - and then make a giant pan of hash for a couple of days with the rest.
Special K for me today.
I don't usually have a chance for breakfast. Not proper breakfast anyway.
In fact I didn't really this morning. I took it into the living room to get away from Mum, because I could tell she was angry, but she followed me and moaned about Dad. And Diz decided it was his breakfast too because it smelled of lovely lovely milk (albeit milk which he wouldn't be able to digest, unlike the catmilk he loves) and had to be pushed away again and again.
So I wish I hadn't bothered.
But compared to sharing with strangers, sitting hunched over a bowl in my room with no Diz, I guess it wasn't that bad.
but did canned corned beef go up a lot in the last 10 years? Like threefold?
It did seem to rocket up in price a while back. But the discount superstores (like Aldi) and the supermarket own brands have brought the price back down a smidge.
A 340g tin of Princes corned beef now is around the £2.50 mark.
The same in the sainsburys own brand is around £2 and in their 'Basics' range, £1.50.
The price for fresh minced beef at Sainsburys is £3 for 500 grams standard mince , and £1.46 for 400 grams of the 'Basics' minced beef.
So, yeah. You can get fresh minced beef for less than the cost of corned beef.
But, that's based on Sainsburys and there are cheaper places to shop!
McDonald's! Of course my breakfast was closer to two o'clock

LOL - I wasn't working out much. Yes, that day was totally thrown in, but I am back on the horse. :p:
Eggs and bacon. A treat for myself for working so hard lately. And now, to further the self-gratification (not like that, you pervs) I'm going back to bed for an hour or two. Huzzah!

Where's the 'like' button? :D
It ended up being three hours. :blush: Apparently I needed it more than I thought. Anyway, turns out that breakfast was a mistake, but I didn't realize it until late afternoon. See, when I saw those eggs in the fridge, I thought to myself, "Gosh, those are getting old, better eat them before they go bad." Except I'd already had that thought a few days earlier, and planned a meal for last night that would use up the eggs. Which I now no longer possessed.
So I had to call the egg lady, who couldn't meet me at her house until 5:30, and after slogging through traffic to get home I decided I didn't have time to cook the planned meal after all. So we had leftover ribs, which the kids were perfectly happy with. The egg-utilizing meal will be tonight instead.
Oh, and breakfast this morning is granny smith apples with cashew butter. So freaking good. I feel bad eating up all the kids' cashew butter, but tomorrow's the weekend and Mr. Clod can make some more.
A glass of wine as an after breakfast drink....:D
Well you can't expect one glass to last through the preparation, consumption, and post breakfast activities. :headshake
2 eggs over easy on Quiona and a dab of Pace's hot salsa, with 2 biscuits.

pizza....did i mention i gained weight? i wonder why...:rolleyes:
That's why we don't like spam in our diets.
Yesterday, I made the switch. No more Wheaties for me. I love them, but that was 57 grams of net carbs every morning with 12 grams of sugars. I would eat a huge bowl for breakfast, equal to 3 servings. And by about 10:30, I'd be hungry. I finished off the last of the boxes in the basement and haven't ordered any new ones.
I'm going to try out different breakfasts. The past two mornings, I've had a
hot oat bran cereal very much like steel cut oatmeal, except slightly lower in carbs and slightly higher in fiber. In addition, I also had a hard boiled egg and a spoon of peanut butter stirred into the oat bran. The oat bran is 17 grams of net carbs (compared to Wheaties 57) and 0 grams of sugar (compared to 12.) The protein in the egg kept me from getting hungry until 11am.
Cholesterol and fat intake are going up a little with this new breakfast, but hopefully not enough to cause long term problems like 20 years of the Wheaties probably did.
I made egg, sausage and cheese breakfast burritos for the week.
Perk number 9803 of living close to work - heat them up in the panini press. Still warm when I get to work :D
There are a LOT of perks to living close to work, that's a good one.
Breakfast today was black coffee, whole wheat croissant with Jif cocoa spread (mocha flavored), honey yogurt, bacon, and eggs, fried in the skillet after the bacon.
Cholesterol and fat intake are going up a little with this new breakfast, but hopefully not enough to cause long term problems like 20 years of the Wheaties probably did.
Wow, the end of an era! For what it's worth, in my experience cholesterol levels are far more tied to carb consumption. Mr. Clod massively increased food sources of cholesterol, but nearly eliminated carbs, and his blood cholesterol went way down.
It also depends on what types of fats you're having. Just avoid trans fats and you should be pretty much right. Our bodies are build to digest fat, and obviously we all know we need some in our diet.
Today I had boiled potatoes, corn and a chicken salad sandwich. Still waiting to feel hungry to be able to take my acid reflux pill!
Weekend breakfasts, courtesy of Mum.
The first was in Brentwood. Good value at £3.95.
The second one was at a local supermarket before I left, which offered a Full Breakfast, and further down the list in smaller font a [SIZE="1"]little breakfast[/SIZE].
This was the little breakfast. Across the table is Dad's omlette. He never takes Mum out for breakfast because he has no appetite in the morning, hence her craving for it. But when I am there to join her, he scarfs it down quite happily.
I've been making egg "cupcakes" for easy egg mcmuffins in the morning. I am sure I'll get sick of them soon, but for the next few weeks - easy breakfast
I've been doing that for a while now too. It's the trendy thing to do, and egg prices are going up as a result.
glatt - I've been making some type of egg for breakfast for a long time. I'm actually eating less this way. Normal is two.
This morning I had steak, potatoes, and cheesey eggs. I think I will be full for a while - lol
Three eggs, scrambled, with two hot Italian sauages.
:yum:
Quinoa, with 10 grain, dried cherries, raisins, honey. But, wait there's more. Most stuck to bottom of pan while I was reading. Right, the cellar.
http://thecozyapron.com/cheesy-breakfast-bake-all-the-best-things-in-one-dish/
Third time I've made this and I might make it again for next week. I love it. Changes I make: No cilantro (usually forget), add garlic powder to potatoes and onions when cooking, and I mix all the cheese in at once (I only realized this last time you are supposed to save some :o )
It's so good Bruce! I make it in a 9x13 pan and cut it in 8 servings and it feeds me for a week :)
I made an egg, pork tenderloin, and cheese breakfast burrito. Needs some crunch though. I might try it in the panini press tomorrow
coco crispies and diet coke.
Banana corn bread and coffee.
The boy is working on his cooking merit badge, and he made me an awesome omelet.
Tapwater.
I didn't think you'd want a picture.
Tomato slices with macademia nut paste (kind of the texture and taste of ricotta) and basil. Because it's in the fridge and why the hell not.
Steak and eggs, with a side of Spam (Hickory Smoke), sauteed onions and mushrooms, coffee, tangerines.
Nothing this morning...stomach wasn't having it. But I see a steak in my immediate future. Like in an hour.
10 grain cereal w/ green onions, ancho peppers and 2 eggs on top. A biscuit.
Redneck Nachos - Cool Ranch Doritos, covered with canned chili, and pepper cheese dip.
What? That's the breakfast of champions, right there. Works wonders on minor hangovers, too.
Hot, buttered crumpets.

It was a strange parody of an English breakfast.
The sausages were small, herby and tough, the scrambled egg tasted like it was made from powder and the beans weren't right either. Not the best attempt I've had. But it was included in the room price, so I filled my boots.
I also had a bowl of Cornflakes, a chocolate torsade, two pots of yoghurt, a croissant, two cups of tea and with every pass at the buffet table I picked up a glass of apple juice.
Working that free food vibe...
Beans for breakfast?? Heresy!!! Burn her at the stake. You can't have have breakfast without grits and biscuits with gravy. Reading Jim Butcher? Have you tried the Cinder Spire series? I want to, but I'm having problem with eye strain.
Corn flakes, cashew milk, coffee.
Frozen burrito. No. It wasn't a breakfast burrito.:facepalm:
But, then again, I am just getting in, so...
Frozen sausage and biscuit. Sweet tea
Nowt, As usual. Ditto for lunch. And probably tea.
Although I am deliberately saving money for when the 'rents come up on Monday. Long-planned and anticipated. More important than ever to make it special now, with Mum's diagnosis of round II with cancer.
I can miss a few meals in order to see her face when she walks into the bedroom to a bunch of helium balloons and personalised wine.
And anyway, when she leaves I'm back on the slimming shakes.
11 stone by Christmas, baby!
Cheerios and black coffee

So good, so worth it *hyperventilating from overeating*

Yep - patty. Made from 93% fat free ground turkey. I think I found a seasoning blend that I like the base enough to tweak to my own tastes. It's supposed to be a Jimmy Dean copy cat.
Jimmy has nothing on you... except enough money to hire a hundred cooks? ;)
Jimmy has nothing on you... except enough money to hire a hundred cooks? ;)
Aw, thanks :blush: Alas, I got the recipe online. There is still something missing, but it might just be the texture of turkey vs pork. I also didn't add the msg called for. I think I might try to either add some fat to the turkey like olive oil or coconut oil. Or do half turkey and half pork.
Today, I had scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage, and tater tots......because adulting.

Nah, Quiche are cake. :haha:
Something like this, but I don't remember the recipe, so it will be different
Looks very decadent. :drool:
Someone gave me this recipe, but I haven't tried it.
What you’ll need:
1 container of Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheet..or regular Crescent Dough
1 lb. Bacon..semi-crispy. I microwave on high approx. 6-8 minutes, but definitely watch over it.
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Maple Syrup, may vary…just use a light layer onto the Dough, and
then a light layer onto the top of the Bacon…that’s it!
1 pinch of Cayenne Pepper..optional, but AMAZING!
Directions:
Lay out the dough spread out thinly, on a parchment lined baking sheet.
With a fork, gently poke shallow holes throughout the dough…
Top the dough with a thin layer of Maple Syrup, and all the crispy Bacon.
Now add another thin layer of the Syrup onto the Bacon and cover it with
all of the Brown Sugar/Cayenne Pepper mix.
Bake it at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes or until evenly golden…
Redneck nachos. Again.
This time I used regular cheddar, and put on some diced jalapeños.
My mouth...It is aflame.
Ooow, that looks terrible, don't eat it, get rid of it, my address is... :lol2:
We'd probably class that as a flan.
I went looking to see if there was a difference in the way we define pies, and apparently it's not such a simple matter. There's great debate (I know right?) amongst pie people as to what properly constitutes a pie. I stumbled across this article:
When is a pie not a pie? As British Pie Week begins, it’s a hot topic for lovers of all things pastry-encased. Pies recently hit the news when one incensed citizen launched a Government e-petition to “make wrongly describing a casserole with a pastry lid a criminal offence”. The petition currently has around 5,000 signatures, falling somewhat short of the 100K needed to be considered for a debate in Parliament. Yet, gathering by reactions the petition has had online and among pie makers, it’s clearly a topic many Brits take seriously.
So, is a true pie one which is fully covered in pastry, with a base, sides and lid? The creator of the pie-tition, one ‘Bill T Wulf’, certainly thinks so. Wulf says the Oxford English Dictionary defines a pie as “a baked dish of fruit, or meat or vegetables, typically with a top or base of pastry”. However, my Sixth edition of the OED describes a pie as “encased in or covered with pastry”. The online version of the OED says a pie “frequently also has a base and sides”. Meanwhile, according to the excellent Oxford Companion to Food, the meaning of the word pie has evolved over many centuries and varies according to both country and region.

O’Callaghan tells me that there’s never really been any serious debate about allowing in lattice tops, and I’m told by someone else involved in the awards that when the issue was raised a few years ago it was shouted down with cries of “we might as well let quiches in”.

I can't cook for shit but I can flat out whip up some breakfast. Comes from spending 20 years in the South where breakfast is a religious denomination.
yeah, man... I'm the reigning King of Breakfast in my house too. Undisputed.
I got my chops working at Denny's. I can crack eggs one handed (actually the only way I can do it at this point) without destroying the shell, I can flip said eggs in the pan without a spatula.... that little backwards loop and drop.... And the biggest key to it all is the timing. Coordinated cooking.... start the potatoes first, then the meats, then the pancakes, waffles, french toast, then the toast and THEN the eggs last.
Also CAYGO. Clean As You Go. mother fupper. The only thing I want to clean after cooking is my plate.

Almond milk if anything. Vanilla. Actually prefer the flavor. And I only use it in cereal.
Ripley turned me on to Plain Almond Milk. I had always bought vanilla, and liked it... a bit sweet... but the plain is just like 1% regular milk.
Try cashew milk, it is a little creamier.
I never saw an Almond or Cashew with tits. :confused:
It does not cook well, and it won't lighten coffee or tea. But on cereal it is Most Excellent. The Silk dark chocolate almond milk is in a word Devine. Keryx's word not mine.

this morning I had store brand honey nut toasted oats, you know the little round things with the hole?
turns out it was a bad omen.Grilled cheese and chili.
About this chili...It is Wolf brand chili:
[ATTACH]55206[/ATTACH]
Worst thing I've ever eaten, and continued eating. Including that chick from Scottsville. It looked like dog food coming out of the can, and it tastes worse than I can imagine dog food tasting.
It is, in a word, horrible. If this had been the first chili I'd tasted, I would have never eaten chili again. Ever.
Bleurgh-in-a-bowl.

Family Guy moment:
Peter: Holy crap!! My AlphaBits are trying to send me a message!
Brian: What do ya mean?
Peter: It says "Oooooooo.", what do ya think it means?
Brian, looking into the bowl: Peter, those are Cheerios.
Note to self: Avoid Wolf brand chili in a can

Tuna and hard boiled egg salad for me. Plus a side of hatred from those around me.

3 hard boiled eggs. My guts were inside out yesterday so grains can go straight to hell today.

Country fried steak, biscuits, sawmill gravy, grits, hash brown casserole, and 2 eggs over easy. I'll be guzzling sweet tea. Y'all probably guessed I have a breakfast date at Cracker Barrel when she gets off work.

In my defence I have eaten at least three healthy meals this week *deadpan*
Dana, Dana, Dana, I sure wish you were over here. I'd fatten you up on a good old country boy breakfast. Guaranteed to clog your arteries and add 5lbs.
Hiya, Sarge!
Country fried steak, biscuits, sawmill gravy, grits, hash brown casserole, and 2 eggs over easy.
NowI'mhungry.
BOJANGLES! It's been a long two months avoiding fast food. Today, I start my new leg of counting calories and watching what I eat. To celebrate, I had a chicken biscuit with borounds (hash brown like round potato things). *SIGH*
An apple, a plum, a hunk of cheddar cheese.
And a small lake of sweet coffee.
I am doing vegetarian for two weeks. This week for breakfast, I made indian spiced fritters and ate them with scrambled eggs. REALLY good!
I'm being extra naughty. Sweet tea and 2 slices of turtle pie ice cream from Baskin Robbins.
Today it was a Red Baron Supreme.
Well, 'breakfast' came at the crack of noon, so...
Bacon Cheeseburgers!! And fruit, cause, you know, gotta be healthy
No shit. Oh, wait, fruit... nevermind. ;)
Same thing I've had for breakfast very nearly every day since having my gallbladder out in December 2009: a Tillamook yogurt. I know, I'm boring. :) I even take the silly things on overnight and longer road trips. Got into the habit because so many "traditional" American breakfast items have been off the list of things my stomach will handle ever since that surgery. Eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, all off the list for me for good, so it's a happy thing to be able to order half a waffle or a side of hash browns and be a cheap breakfast date since I'm usually awake first by several hours when traveling.
Roasted potato galette with an egg scrambled with ham. I want another one.....
Potato Galette, had to google that. Sounds almost like potato chips. :yum:
Leftover East Carolina pulled pork, egg, and cheese in a corn tortilla.
Bruce - this is the recipe I used :)
Griff - now, that sounds GOOD!
How is East Carolina pulled pork different from West Carolina, or elsewhere?

http://www.saveur.com/article/Travels/East-Vs-West-Carolina-Pulled-PorkBut to North Carolinians, the details represent something larger than barbecue itself: They're a matter of intense cultural pride.
You know, the more I think about that statement the more fucked up it sounds.
It sounds like they're ready to fight for the honor of their lunch. :facepalm:

Like some Philadelphiacs and their cheesesteaks.:rolleyes:
In Philly you can't find three people, who are not related to each other, to agree on who or what makes the best cheesesteak. Granted there are some assholes who will fight about it, but it's not cheesesteaks that is their culture, it's fighting.
I had a fried pork chop, egg, and cheese sandwich. Yep, I made it.
Given the time (13:55) I should propbably put this inthe lunch thread ... but it is my breakfast, so I'm putting it here.
Bacon and black pudding sandwiches, made with toast. With tomato ketchup and english mustard. mmmm.
Needless to say, carrot has been watching proceedings with great interest...and is now watching me eat with even greater interest. I have saved a mini medallion of black pudding for him :p But he isn't having it til I have finished eating.
[eta] ohmy - his eyes nearly bugged out of his head with the sheer loveliness of the flavour.
Blueberry oat muffins in 8 minutes...
Black pudding is a type of blood sausage commonly eaten in Great Britain, Ireland and in other parts of Europe. It is generally made from pork fat or beef suet, pork blood and a relatively high proportion of oatmeal, in some recipes mixed with grits (oat groats) and sometimes even barley groats.
:eyebrow:
I know it sounds fucking vile, but trust me it is delicious. With mustard it is the bomb.
Also, apparently now considered a 'super food'*
* this is bollox. I don't believe in superfoods.
Here's how it's made:

I had a Portuguese roommate who would cook blood pudding. Looked and smelled like shit. :greenface
M-W-F Scrambled eggs with sausage or ham mixed in and topped with cheese
T-H Panini with turkey and cheese on Popeye bread (spinach, parmesan, red peppers). All days include cantaloupe.
Some asshole ate my delicious pizza bread breakfast bake over the weekend, so I had to make new breakfast for today and possibly next week. Breakfast burritos! Today consisted of 2 eggs, 2 slices ham, 1 slice cheese, and 6 tater tots. Friday's will be 1 egg, 1 ounce kielbasa, 1 slice cheese, and 6 tater tots.
The tortilla couldn't actually wrap up with 2 eggs, so cutting it down a bit. SO GOOD! Almost made me forget the fact that I forgot a towel for my shower after the gym. Almost.
Yum!
Simple today, bacon, fried potatoes, yogurt, and coffee.
What is this "breakfast" you speak of. ;)
I had a half a egg, chorizo, and onion burrito from a place nearby. It was good, but there was a seasoning that I can't quite put my finger on that doesn't really belong. I'll be eating the rest for either dinner tonight or breakfast Sunday. I have to come by work tomorrow to get it.
Half an egg? Shit, I could snort half an egg. :haha:
Eggs, cheese, and sausage. Normal breakfast. But all made up for the week
This morning the spoor wanted muffins so I went to King Arthur flour's website and we browsed the recipes. The inch wanted Crumb cake and the mm wanted donut muffins.
I dictated the list of ingredients and had them unload and load the dishwasher while I went out to get some eggs. I told them to assemble the ingredients and wait for my return.
HAHAHAHHAHA
I get back and they've measured out all sorts of stuff and combined them already. I just rolled with it and we somehow got the things baked despite a number of missteps that happened while I was out.
The mm's donut muffins looked picture perfect and had a decidedly salty taste.
"I accidentally put in one Tablespoon instead of one teaspoon. Great hot weather muffins to replenish your electrolytes.
The inch's coffee crumb cake took twice the recommended baking time, maybe the pan was too small. There seemed to be far too much crumb, although it tasted fine and the texture was right. Again, maybe a function of a too small pan. The cak itself tasted great but not very sweet and a bit densely textured, but we expected that since he didn't cream the butter and sugar.
The lack of sweetness suggests he may have used confectioner's sugar instead of granulated.
Still delicious and not very salty.
Ha! Baking with kids is the best!
Great hot weather muffins to replenish your electrolytes.

Vienna sausages, Doritos, and ginger ale
Jalapeno and cilantro hummus. Oh mama!!
Such a colorful breakfast I had this morning:
Black coffee
Pink grapefruit juice
Orange chicken
Bleu cheese
And a side of black coffee.
Redneck nachos.
Doritos, canned chili, sliced processed cheese food.
Nachos are pretty damn good.
Nachos are a standard joke in our house.
"What are you eating?"
"Nachos--na-cho business!"
"What is that email about?"
"Nachos."
"What did my teacher say about me?"
"She said she loves nachos."
Fresubin (protein drink I have to take) and a rice cake.
Too miserable today to eat anything else :sniff:
Now I face lunch. More Fresubin and who knows. Maybe another rice cake.
I HAVE to eat to stay out of hospital, but the steroids are making me look so fat & bloated... I literally do not want to eat. And you know that's not like me.
Sorry Sundae. Sucks that eating has become a chore.
Butbutbut, it's the most important meal of the day!
Pan fried potatoes, eggs scrambled with sausage. Today I rolled it in a tortilla and made a burrito, but I left it too long to crisp up and it ended up *ahem* "blackened". But not inedible :blush:
Breakfast burritos are the bombdiggity.

Yes. Yes, they are.
I made Shakshuka the last Sunday morning when we tend to eat a bigger mid morning breakfast. Shakshuka supposedly originated in Tunisia but is popular from Morocco to Egypt and very popular in Israel, brought by Tunisian Jews who migrated there. Basically a ratatouille sans eggplant that is mostly bell peppers, tomato, onion all cooked down to a stew and eggs poached on top as it finishes off in the oven. It's seasoned with salt and pepper and a hint of ground cumin, I sprinkled some paprika on the eggs.
I liked it but I let the eggs go a bit long and the yolks were set. They really should be runny when you break into them. Served it with some crusty olive bread.

For realz. I wish there was some sort of notification system for these types of drifts. The weird thing is, I often think folks are having witty banter and being ironic, because partly that's me and partly because the degree of butthurt and vituperation seems disproportionate to the perceived offense.

That sounds complicated, bbro, I wonder if you were awake and took the time to assemble that, or half awake and grazing.

I'm sure it's yummy, I eat a lot of stuff cold that I get odd looks for. :haha:
I just thought if it was stored in the fridge, it might be better with the muffins and sausage warmed up.
Ghost Peppersauce on my eggs this am. Damn...:)
I've got breakfast muffins and sausage balls. Fruit, too, for the rest of the week, if I cough up to dough for the pre-cut stuff cause I don't want to go to two grocery stores

The breakfast biscuit sandwiches are quite all right, likewise the chix biscuit. Experience with the little box of tater-totlets says they're really rather boring, as well as oily. Think next time I stop there for breakfast, I'll order à la carte rather than combo.
**************
At home -- pork chorizo and eggs, fried, slightly separated in the pan rather than all scrambled together and offered with tortillas in the usual restaurant manner. Today, added some chipotle sauce out of a can of chipotle to see if it Emerils the chorizo a notch or so. Not bad; would try again in varied amounts. Gives the chorizo a little more fire and smoke.
Start with lightly frying the chorizo, getting it to sizzle, and flattening the bolus of chorizo you've squeezed from the skin. Since the sausage falls apart cooking, just noodgeing it with the edge of the spatula spreads it out. Turn it once and break the eggs into the pan, after a bit of olive oil in there to ensure the eggs at worst stick less to the pan. Fry the eggs half hard/over medium, using a pan lid to cover it over, frying all together. Pretty much set & forget, save for time, at very moderate heat.
A can of Dinty Moore, with a peanut butter sammy.
Nobody else was up, it was the quietest thing I could come up with.

And it seems... unthinking. Of course, with cardiac they were dialing way back on salt for me; if I wanted any I had to sneak it. Attempts at livening my fare with sprinkle jars of seasoning mix, well, depend on the brand. You might just stick to brandnames like Gayelord Hauser (salt free Spike) and Mrs Dash.
