ONE rasher? fucking diet brekkie, that's what.

Pot Noodle...

Yah. I know.

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.

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.

It's always summer here.

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.

coffee

muesli

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

A big bowl of wheaties!

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.

I am clearly getting old, my first thought was it sounded like a nap lol

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.
