I can't find it at all here. Only instant, pressed oatmeal.
Yuck.

But I eat it anyway, or farina. When I'm in the mmood to cook and want a hot brekkie.

What do you eat for breakfast?

Pieces of shit like you.

Fried bread.

What you call French toast is actually eggy bread.
And we have that for tea, not breakfast

I had to google fry bread and Wikipedia said it was either or...typical. So what is fry bread like? Is it like a grilled cheese sandwich without the cheese?

Bowl of cereal, every single morning. Haven't had anything different since the days when I was skipping breakfast. Before that... bowl of cereal.

Cheerios, Crispix, or Oatmeal Crisp. Always one of those three. When I was a kid, Rice Krispies instead of Oatmeal Crisp in that triad.

I always make breakfast for my family before the day begins. Sometimes I slack off and sleep in a little, causing my husband to have to get things started for me.

This morning we had banana pancakes, bacon and milk. Yesterday was cornmeal mush. Sometimes we have bacon eggs and toast. I try to mix it up a lot. I can't handle monotony. But it is homemade every morning, for economical reasons.

Nothing. It's the same thing I had when growing up, although back then my sister and I took turns faking "evidence" for my mom... couple of bowls with a little milk swirled around and a few flakes of cereal tossed in.

Bob's Red Mill Scottish Oatmeal with honey, sometimes a bit of Saigon Cinnamon sprinkled on for excitment. I occasionally change this up for some other sort of hot cereal, Bob's Red Mill 7 Grain usually, although the Silver Palate Rough and Ready Oatmeal is also a winner.

Beverage is 2 cups of black coffee.

If there's a good prize in the box I may have some sugary cereal ... I really liked the light-up Indiana Jones Adventure Spoons that have recently been in the Kellogg's cereals.

Today I will have a late, late breakfast.
I've been slobbing around, reading, catching up here and on emails.

When HM goes to work (soon, surely?!) I'm going to nip into work & grab some bits out of the fridge. Then have a snacky feast.

Why wait til he's gone? Because it's practically my last blow-out before I get healthy next week, but I can't be arsed to explain that to him (sounds like an excuse for eating too much cheese & pate) and because I need to wash my hair before I can be seen in public, and I can't be bothered to do that before I dye it tonight.

Slacker.

But breakfast/ brunch/ lunch/ dinner will be: Danish blue cheese, Marmite flavoured rice cakes, extra mature Cheddar, Branston pickle, mackerel pate, olives, French bread, spring onions, honeydew peppers and possibly a rice or cous cous dish. Carb heavy? You betcha.

We seem to be on the same hair dying schedule. Of course I might just not do it, again. I always put it off. Then I have no time to do it, then I have time to do it, and put it off, again. Then I get comments at work. Then I get stubborn because someone made a comment and I refuse to do it, then I decide to do it, and put it off. I go with: maybe it will happen this weekend. I might!

So I'm supposed to do it today. We'll see.........

Really I wait until lunch to eat. I'm not hungry in the morning, and I know it weighs me down and makes too tired to function at work. So I choke something down after noon. I'm a 2 meal a day person unless I make my husband breakfast, then I have a small portion of what I make for him.

Interesting.
I didn't bother with a strand test.
Oh crikey who ever does?

It appears to be going purple.
Hmmmmm.
Good news is I work for an arts company.
Bad news is I replaced a well groomed young lady who was slim & beautiful enough to be a model, as well as good natured and omniscient.

Purple hair would be the final straw in comparisons between us I fear.

Look out in the RFN thread I guess.

I couldn't honestly say
I've only had toasted cheese sandwiches

I don't like fried bread myself - too greasy
But I'm a big toast fan, so maybe I just compare the two unfavourably.

Fried bread is just that. Bread (sliced, white) fried in the fat left over after frying other breakfast items. Which is why my Dad rarely has it, because they grill everything.

In fact it's probably just a treat at Christmas and Easter now as he'll use the dripping (fat from the roast). If that - since his heart problems Mum is far stricter on what he eats!

It did used to be a staple of a fried breakfast.
Even now, if I stay in a B&B I will check exactly what they mean by a Full English. I can cope with fried sausage, bacon, egg (although I'd never make them myself) but leave out the bread. And the tinned tomatoes.
