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!

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!

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!

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/concordv...ndaybrunch.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
