What's For Breakfast?

[richlevy]

It's actually almost lunch time, so I will be microwaving leftover beef jalapeno sausages and punjab style samosas (potato and pea).

I do have some granola and dried marshmallow bits (the 'charms' in Lucky Charms) left, but I can't figure out where they fit in...

Some people say "Eat a live frog in the morning and nothing worse can happen to you the rest of the day." With jalapeno and curry, who needs frogs?

I had pecan waffles and bacon. Not as good as it sounds, though

[Sundae]

I do like samosas, greasy as they are.
When I lived in Leicester the shop two doors down sold home-made samosas as well as curries. My favourite were the chicken ones. Minced chicken, and with a bit of a kick, but not one that lasted long enough to make you sweat.

They also let me buy things on tick, so yes - I was a regular customer!
Oh and bless them, I got a refund for bringing the plastic box back. Nothing much - 20p maybe, but I applauded the gesture.

Bbro, we saw lots of pecan pies in Oxford on Friday.
Not common here. Not in Aylesbury anyway.
I'm an inveterate food-window-shopper. I even go into deli's and poke about and ask questions with no intention of buying. It makes me happy.
I suggested to Mum the preponderance of the pecan was due to the number of Americans transplanted to the city of dreaming spires. It's quite possible.

I really must write up our trip.
Only two photos of food. It's hard to know where to start in a place like Oxford. I must go back alone, Mum finds my hair and my bulk slightly awkward, let alone stopping to take photos of everyday things like pigs heads, real truffles and pecan pies.

Sundae - I am actually not a huge fan of pies. My mom used to make a pecan pie every Christmas that would disappear in minutes. Still never tasted it, though.

Today is eggs, velveeta, and bacon sandwich with milk.

[Gravdigr]

Two eggs over easy, 3 pcs peppered bacon, grits w/raisins, (fake)buttered toast, and a big ol' glass of milk-flavored water (fat-free skim)

[Lola Bunny]

Gravdgr: Try organic skim milk. It tastes better than the regular skim milk.

Today i had toasted museli with yoghurt and fruit compot followed by bacon, sauteed mushrooms, grilled tomato haeh hrowns ane a sausage. I also drank a very bitter cup of coffee.

[jimhelm]

Yesterday I had Greek yogurt with granola.

Today, I have to go to work, so time is more limited... Jimmy Dean delight English muffin, egg white and turkey sausage swammich. 240 calories, and delish.

[chrisinhouston]

Reheated a bowl of steel cut oatmeal that is cooked with a bit of farro, wild rice and flax seeds. Stirred in a tbs of hummus and a mashed half avocado. Topped with some skillet browned bits of mushroom and a scrambled egg. Basically complex carbs and a touch of protien.

[glatt]

A big bowl of wheaties!

[Pete Zicato]

Frosted flakes and a mug of tea.

I ate breakfast just now (2pm) so...kinda breakfast, but maybe lunch. Not brunch though, 'cause that sits between the two.

Potato croquettes with bacon bits, a small tin of pizza tortellini and mushrooms cooked in butter.

Very tasty.

I had a "breakfast" biscuit. Picking through all the things I bought when I thought sobriety brought instant health...
Still, weight loss would be helpful. Still another 20lbs to go. Which I hope to achieve by the party on 30.11.13. I know that's relatively fast, but I have a lot of bad habits to drop.

Let's think... although it's technically your breakfast it is in fact after lunch.
We need a word to suggest an afternoon breakfast. Brekkum? As in a breakfast in the pm?

But then you don't really eat breakfast food. Maybe just an aftnooner. Even though that sounds more like sex...

Afterfaster? Any food eaten as the first meal of the day in the afternoon?
Then again, that sounds a bit like a eupho for bulimia...

I'm working on it for you.
We might just have to go with a Dana.

I have a relative in the coin trading business, and I heard an amusing story about Wheaties recently. Some number of decades ago, Wheaties wanted to do a little promotion where they would include a Lincoln wheat penny as the prize in every box of Wheaties for a month.

As they started buying piles and piles of them, the price was artificially raised to the point that Wheaties would be losing a ton of money with the promotion, but they had already invested a certain amount in developing advertising and whatnot for it, so they persisted anyway. In the end, however, it was determined that there were not even enough wheat pennies in existence to put one in every box of cereal Wheaties sold in a month. They could have done it for a couple of weeks, but by this point they were pissed off, so they just scrapped the whole idea and re-sold the pennies to collectors to recoup their losses.

Except in doing so they flooded the market, artificially driving the price down, and thus lost even more money.
