What's For Breakfast? - Page 11

Pico and ME · 12-10-2010, 11:51 AM

Yep, thats why we wear blinders when we go - we call it the trough because of how the majority of its patrons fill their plates to heaping and (from the looks of them) have done it several plates too many. (This is middle hoosierland, ya know)

Ours does pretty good...the food seems really fresh - not canned or frozen.

or sneezed upon?

Sneeze guards are nothing to sneeze at!

Pico and ME · 12-10-2010, 11:56 AM

I try not to think about that.

Shawnee123 · 12-10-2010, 11:57 AM

Face it, if we really thought about ANY of our food, we'd never have an appetite. Best to keep it in the golden light.

I figured I would resurrect this thread because I really loved my breakfast this morning

I made egg salad with 1.5 eggs, 1/2 tbsp mayo, salt, pepper and paprika on a piece of toast and 1 cup of milk. I am going to have the same thing tomorrow, but I think I will have some ham with it, too.

Hamburger Casserole made w/ground venison instead of hamburger.

I know, I know...casserole for breakfast? But, breakfast will be served at like 2:30pm. -ish.

Gravdigr · 07-30-2011, 10:48 AM

Casserole may become supper. Egg salad sounds pretty damn good right about now.

hey bbro

serious question. did you really make an egg salad with 1.5 eggs? why not two eggs? tomorrow will you use the remaining half egg and another whole egg for the encore meal? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I have been cooking a LONG time, I'm a pretty good cook, but one area I have trouble with is portion control. Egg salad seems like one of those things I just can't make ONE portion of, like making one serving of spaghetti or something. Is that the key, ratios that include dividing eggs? that seems like a lot of trouble. I would (I'm sure this is the root of the problem I just described) just make it with three eggs and save half if I knew it was needed for tomorrow's breakfast. Actually I'd have probably eaten the whole thing, leading to other, weightier problems, but that is a related but different story.

wolf · 07-30-2011, 12:55 PM

I was wondering about the 1-1/2 egg thing too ... my standard egg salad sandwich is 2 eggs.

BigV/Wolf - Yes - that is exactly what I plan on doing tomorrow morning for breakfast. As for why 1.5? Two seemed too many and one didn't seem like enough.

I don't know if splitting the eggs first is the key to portion control, but it is definitely helpful. It is easier to figure out a single portion if everything from the beginning is only for one portion than trying to make multiple servings and splitting it. With things like pasta, I weigh out the dry portion first, then cook. If I am making multiple servings, I weigh them all out, then when it is cooked, I know exactly how many servings I have and separate them immediately. That helps, too

Don't get me wrong - I have issues with portion control, too. Weight watchers helped and now I am doing SparkPeople, so I still have to track every bit that goes in my mouth. The tracking helps a lot. You don't want to have to go back and scratch out your healthy single serving and add to it.

Just my opinion, though

Hope that all makes sense

Raspberries! But first I gotta go out to the backyard to pick 'em...

Yesterday morning we all had a Traditional Breakfast at the Reedcutter's Restaurant which was the main eatery on the caravan site we've been staying on.
We had to be out of our caravan at 10.00, so we were up at 07.00 and ready to leave by 08.30.

Would have been even earlier, but Mum & Dad - well, Mum - told me off about the racket I was making, opening and closing doors. "Just not fair" at that time of the morning. Oddly, Mum said, "It's ten to eight now, we don't need to worry about being quiet." I only include that because the timing is bizarre, and in fact tells me that Mum was fed up with creeping about and sod the neighbours. Please note, there was room to park two cars (one and a half?) between each caravan.

It was payday, so brekkers was my treat. Two rashers of bacon, sausage, fried egg, beans, hash brown and fried bread. I had toast instead of fried bread - I do love a place that understand substitution.

No pics, I've reigned myself in on those.
Just a bit of feedback.

Pico and ME · 07-30-2011, 02:53 PM

Well shoot, Sundae I think a lot of us appreciate your pictures...especially the food ones. Who would give feedback otherwise?
