I would of popped over for breakfast. Does your lad like the football because I would want to miss it.

Kippers and scrambled eggs, toast, tomato. I'd swear the cat gave me a dirty look. Should have a beer before I brush my teeth.

I do love a good kipper myself!

Eggs Florentine for me, fresh spinach, smoked salmon, on a muffin, topped wth a lightly poached egg and hollandaise sauce. We have had this breakfast every Christmas and Easter Sunday for the last 20 years, never have it any other time and it's always delish...

Kippers for me today also, but poached eggs. The trick is a little vinegar and then get the water swirling before plopping the eggs in.

A bowl of oatmeal, plus a spoonful of bran or flax seed, half a spoon of cinnamon and a few pecans.

This morning, not unlike yesterday's I had a ham, mushroom, tomato, and cheddar omellete with rye toast. 3 eggs instead of 2 today, they're a bit small.

That was our favourite warm-up treat after skating or tobogganing, hot chocolate and cinnamon toast!:thumbup:

I had the leftover slice of spinach, feta & chicken pizza, then cooked a small order of spaghetti and reheated the tomato, garlic, sausage & pepper sauce, topped it with chilies and parmesan, then thought **** it and had a glass of red wine too.
A refreshing change from ham and eggs.

Home made soda bread laden with streaky bacon, fried tomato, fried mushrooms, baked beans and fried eggs. Orange juice. Coffee. They're underrated, baked beans.

If it ain't Heinz, it ain't pukka......

Optional: Add Frank's hot sauce to it, some claim to put that **** on everything

They are. Try them on toast with a bit of Parmesan ... not bad.

Jose 'Pepe' Morales, the little Mexican a$$hole showed me how to make refried beans like that about 35 years ago.
