Warm granola with 1% milk and yogurt on top, a kale, carrot and celery shake and cup of green tea.
Just kidding!:rofl:
Sausage and ham with 2 fried eggs on rye toast, corn jalapeno fritters, beans and salsa and a glass of Errazuriz Estate merlot from Chile 2013 vintage (has the hallmarks of a great breakfast wine, imo).

My latest kick, I bought corn flour to make tortillas with and they were not as good as the flour tortillas I was making so I wanted to think of something else to make with it, and Siam restaurant here has corn fritters on the lunch buffet and they're really good (possibly the best thing there). I was not able to replicate theirs, but that's ok. I gave it a google and saw jalapeno, had it in the fridge, frozen corn, green onion too, missed the cheese but started using it in the second batch. I use all the pancakey battery stuff, mix of corn flour and white flour, baking powder, cornstarch, pinch of salt, sugar, little oil, eggs, milk. I was just surfing the subject and saw an Aussie adaptation with avocado, and you know, I have one that needs to be used up today. There are no rules, it's an outlaw food and I like that. It's also deliciious and healthy and costs pennies to make.
They're versatile, I make 12 - 15 at a time and they're good for 2 - 3 days in the fridge and 2 min and change in the microwave heats a few up. Good for all 3 meals and snacks, with soup, chili, wings, Chinese, and the list goes on. Drain a can of salmon and mix it in, (maybe use a milder white cheese or go the other way and shred Monterey Jack) pair with a white wine or rose'.

Thanks-always good to try something new. Might make some for Christmas lunch? :thumbsup:

Sardines & spinach on toast with a poached egg on top. Copious amounts of coffee on the side.

Depends on one's definition of "normal" :p

Tomorrow's breakfast is likely to be Greek yoghurt with olives, onion, spinach & avocado ...

The other option is leftover curry, again

Went out for breakfast today: disastrously awful eggs Benedict; had to walk halfway up a mountain then retreat to pub to wash away the taste/memory ;).

As it's going to be one of those brutal lead-up-to Christmas weeks the only thing that could of set the morning off right was a pair of kippers, two nicely poached eggs, some whole wheat toast and a large glass of tomato juice. 'Champion' as northern people say.

I don't care for fishy eggs or fishy chips so I had poached eggs and chips first, and now on another plate am halfway through my kippers on toast. I poached the kippers for quite a bit in milk and water to get most of the salt out then sauteed in butter - perfect! ;)
Paired with Old Bushmills Irish..... no work today and it's -20 so I'm staying in and engaging in the ancient Christmas tradition of morning drinking.
