I saved a couple of roast spuds from Sunday dinner. Halved them and fried them to have with an egg this morning.
Delish.

Never fails to amaze me how different a spud can taste according how one is cooked, reheated,recooked etc

I'm making sausages and pancakes with maple syrup. I got some of those little maple breakfast sausages and I hardly ever have them.

I just had half a dozen fried oysters on toast. Yesterday's supper plan crashed because I was too tired to cook. There's half the pint left, so I think I can squeeze it into the freezing compartment, and use them another day.

We had pizza delivery yesterday. I always make sure there's a slice left to put a fried egg on top for breakfast next day.

Now, for once, you have made a breakfast I would love to sit down and eat. Did you heat up the salsa?

That sounds like my sort of brekkie, as did the one you had yesterday, as long as the bacon is crispy and hold the salsa.

Those last 3 little potatoes I used for chips yesterday made twice as much as I needed, and since I had 2 little carrots left in the crisper, and 2 mushrooms, and because I prepared 2 pouches of corned beef instead of one for my sandwich (ok, it was premeditated), corned beef hash and Frank's Red Hot it is.

My favourite would be several crispy bacon sandwiches, or a large mushroom/onion/bacon omelette. :tounge_smile:

Edit: Instead I settle for a low fat yogurt with slivered almonds mixed in. Gotta feed the bones!!

Yeah, that's what I had too. Low fat yogurt and some, um, steamed kale with a poached omega 3 free range egg on it. Love that kale.

Imo kale isn't safe to eat for anything with only one stomach.

My late grandfather called all soup "kail". To him, the only type of soup was broth, and kail is a Scots word for broth. It presumably originates from when the poor lived on cabbage broth.

"Whit's fir tea the nicht, Mary?"
"A guid plate o' kail."
"Braw!!"

In answer to "what's for dinner?" I often say Banana Surprise.

They never tire of saying "there's no banana is there" :rofl:

I was first though. I've never seen more than about two minutes of it. :lol:

I admit I got the idea from Monty Python's box of chocolates. In particular Spring Surprise :rofl:

Diner: Waiter, can you tell me how you prepare your chicken?
Waiter: Oh nothing special, we just tell them they're going to die.
Tell your friends, folks, I'm here all week.

This morning I had Rice Crispies, scrambled eggs, coffee, apple juice, and a slice of toast with margarine and strawberry jam. Milk and sugar, 2 packets of black pepper but no salt. The toast probably started out crunchy, but after being under the lid with the eggs it was very soggy by the time I got it. Still tasty though.

Your breakfast doesn't sound too fowl though.

Good to 'see' you, hope the pain's under control.

Not much they can do about it, I suppose. 2x Tylenol 3. I had morphine last night but after they unplugged my IV this morning I'm back on pills.
I think you usually have as much or more pain healing as the primary injury when big incisions are involved. Having been through the mill before gives me a bit of an edge in using crutches and so on. I may hear something about that later today.

There's plenty that can be done about it. If you're in pain and you've not been written up for stronger pain meds, make a fuss until you are.

Just Tylenol the day after the extensive surgery you've had isn't enough.

Just what I thought you'd get... in for a week or is that part of the joke? ;) If you are in for a few days, you will get to tick the little boxes for the menu for each meal every day - be prepared for lots of repitition! :D

It's a classic stand-up comedy line. I'm not sure who coined it, but you can't go wrong betting on Henry Youngman. :lol:

Henny Youngman, damned auto correct.:(
This morning I had lukewarm coffee, cornflakes, a slice of toast with margarine and jam, and I'll save the apple juice and 21g packet of blah cheddar for later. Not as good as yesterday, but so far breakfast is the only meal that isn't mostly going back to the kitchen. They haven't given me a menu to choose from yet, and I don't know if I'm going to get that. The nurses are on 12 hr shifts and deserve high praise, but they just don't have time to give everyone the attention they want.

Hubby and daughter brought food in for me when I was in hospital in Toronto. There was no way I could eat the hospital food.

The only time I have had decent food was at a UK BUPA hospital. Food was more or less made to order. :thumbsup:

I looked under the dome on Lisa's food tray and other than perhaps the jello and lukewarm cuppa java, it looked horrid.
