A cup of medium roast from Second Cup and a warm croissant from Aroma Café. Not very healthy, but It was ******* cold this morning and a brutal Monday morning!

Toast with pear jam and coffee.

This stuff is delicious.

Nice! I'm sure there will be some tasty treats over there to make up for your suffering.

Kippers. It's time to start practicing for Christmas!

This time I remembered to save the milk and water from poaching so I can use it in clam chowder later.

Oatmeal made with water (with a pinch of salt) and thick enough to cut with a knife (literally) served with 3 teaspoons of extra dark maple syrup and followed by half a slice of wholegrain with 2 ounces of cottage cheese. :D

You pushed the boat out then. ;)
I don't think I've ever made porridge with anything but water. I think as kids sometimes we added milk and my (adult) stepdaughter does that even now.

It's really not a lot of breakfast, lol... and I can eyeball the amounts and know how much it is after 19 months of practice :D

Just perfect 👌

Re: Breakfast Choices
 
It was a slightly unconventional breakfast, because I wanted to use up some of the duck from a couple of days ago, so I had duck with mushrooms, onions and sliced garlic in black bean sauce with pot sticker dumplings and udon noodles. It was supper time in Japan, so not altogether wrong, I suppose.

BEVS Nov 10th 2019 7:31 am

Croissants with bacon and a bit of melted gruyere cheese which had to be used.

Corned beef hash and fried eggs, toast.

It was membership appreciation day at the Serbian Club, and they sold 340 steak dinners in advance for $3 ea so I had an 80z sirloin, potato salad, beans, and dinner roll and 2 lagers for breakfast.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 
l lightly sauteed onion, peppers and mushrooms in a tsp of EVOO, and made an omelette with 2 eggs (Sunday splurge) added spinach and 1oz of soft plain goat cheese and served it with a slice of dry rye toast. I really like the way goat cheese 'melts' slightly, creating a creaminess to the inner parts of the omelette and a nice 'tang'. (I hate it if the egg is semi cooked and soft.. with stringy bits of semi cooked white that looks like snot, stomach churning) :D

I had to go to work early, so it's a late breakfast; Lemon Hart and eggnog and those little mince pies.

Fried egg and a few (leftover) roast potatoes. Heavenly. Completely different to leftover boiled spud, then fried.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 
I had breakfast burritos; sausage, onions, scrambled eggs, refried beans and shredded cheese with green chili sauce in whole wheat tortillas.

In actuality I haven't eaten breakfast in the last ten years. Apart from some romantic vision of a working class cafe where blokes were eating a full English, two of toast and a mug of tea while smoking and reading tabloid news papers, I really don't miss it.

You've posted pictures of what you have for breakfast and some of it is straight out of Fear Factor. I'm sure it's very nutritious though. The price you pay for those boozy nights and Nando's and chicken wing night at Humpty's.
Will you have kippers for Christmas?

We have brunch at my mum's place every Sunday. She usually insists on doing all the food, but with the heatwave we've been having she's been a bit tired, so we finally got her to agree to not do any food at all but to let us all bring something. Between mum's adult children, her grandchildren, and a few little great-grandchildren, we ended up with this:

Homemade sausage rolls and small pies
Homemade mini pizzas
Curried egg sandwiches
Ham and chutney sandwiches
Platter of cheese, pickles, olives and crackers
Cheese muffins
Sushi platter
Carton of Krispy Kreme donuts (yes, one of the grandkid's contributions)
Fruit platter
Fruit mince pies
Lemon tarts
Cupcakes
Large carrot cake
Large passionfruit cheesecake

Of course, each person brought enough to feed everyone. Mum looked at this mad collection of food overflowing her kitchen table, and remarked that she thinks we'll go back to the old way :lol:

Oh most of it was eaten, Mum's 'food is love' motto has had a big influence on her descendants :lol:

ps I made the sandwiches, curried egg is a particular favourite in this family. And I did the two large cakes :o

Hard boiled eggs mashed well, a little salt, whole egg mayo and curry powder. Must use proper butter on the bread!
