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

Sundae 08-07-2011 10:11 AM

Not jealous now.
Just finished dinner and put it on to rest.
ETA - took the rest of the post to the Dinner thread...

bbro 08-08-2011 08:30 AM

Waffle and ground turkey with sausage seasoning mixed in. It needs more pepper and I might try more sage next time, too.

Sundae 08-08-2011 08:36 AM

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.

GunMaster357 08-08-2011 09:26 AM

As usual: a big coffeepot, strong, black, one sugar cube per mug

infinite monkey 08-08-2011 09:47 AM

Coffee.

Banananananananananana.

kerosene 08-08-2011 10:37 AM

grapes and generic nutella.

bbro 08-09-2011 10:14 AM

Waffles and sausage again. Tomorrow will be waffles with peanut butter and jelly instead of syrup :D

wolf 08-09-2011 01:53 PM

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.

wolf 08-09-2011 06:27 PM

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.

richlevy 08-09-2011 07:13 PM

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.

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.

infinite monkey 08-11-2011 09:03 AM

Coffee.

Banananananananananaanana

BigV 08-11-2011 01:08 PM

Coffee and leftover falafel with tziki. delish.

bbro 08-11-2011 06:28 PM

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.

grynch 08-12-2011 06:31 AM

no spam ?????????????????

Sundae 08-12-2011 07:33 AM

Peas are the new spam

Trilby 08-12-2011 07:47 AM

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.

bbro 08-15-2011 08:13 AM

First homemade quiche :D

infinite monkey 08-15-2011 08:29 AM

mmmmmm, quiche. :yum:

But:

Bananananananananana. Coffee.

Urbane Guerrilla 08-16-2011 01:05 AM

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.

monster 08-17-2011 12:51 PM

makes us less full of shit, though.....

Urbane Guerrilla 08-19-2011 01:23 AM

...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.

bbro 08-24-2011 01:34 PM

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.

BigV 08-24-2011 02:06 PM

1.0 hardboiled eggs?

LOL - yep. Just 1.0 with .5 TBSP mayo :P

Sundae 08-25-2011 05:36 AM

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.

BigV 08-25-2011 09:19 AM

Coffee and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Delish!

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:

Urbane Guerrilla 12-19-2011 05:06 PM

Mmm. Fresh blueberries, flour, sugar, pinch of salt, milk and baking powder?

Lola Bunny 12-19-2011 07:05 PM

...and egg. :p: I had to use frozen blueberries because the store didn't have any fresh ones.

Sundae 12-20-2011 11:05 AM

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.

Aliantha 02-19-2012 05:15 PM

Peanut butter and banana on toast.

It was good.

BigV 02-22-2012 02:49 PM

just finished breakfast for me and the boys
blueberry waffles
sage sausage
pineapple orange mango juice
chocolate milk
coffee for me

bbro 02-22-2012 09:22 PM

Tomorrow will be a turkey, bacon and cheese sandwich with waffles as bread :)

Aliantha 03-05-2012 06:34 PM

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. :)

BigV 03-07-2012 12:22 PM

spaghetti and meatballs

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?

Aliantha 03-07-2012 05:23 PM

About the middle. Same with the apple so it doesn't go to mush but stays a bit lumpy but soft. :)

fargon 03-07-2012 06:30 PM

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

Aliantha 03-07-2012 06:39 PM

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.

monster 03-07-2012 09:57 PM

Oh shit, didn't get any Weetabix while running errands today.

Blueflare 03-08-2012 06:49 AM

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.

glatt 03-08-2012 07:11 AM

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.

glatt 03-08-2012 08:45 AM

Well, it's about taste. Organic milk tastes better.

Urbane Guerrilla 03-13-2012 07:35 PM

And nobody ever thought Mary Lou tasted all that bad either.

Those are vintage boxes now, if they're like... Olympic.

DanaC 04-24-2012 07:28 AM

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!

Sundae 04-24-2012 07:32 AM

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.

maybe you need a different blender.

Clodfobble 04-25-2012 09:39 AM

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.

Pizza. I was totally lazy this morning, and it was in the front of the freezer.
