What's For Breakfast? - Page 14

this morning's fast breaking coffee was accompanied by spinach and eggs. I've noticed that my love of spinach has increased. Maybe to the point that I can justify buying it in large quantities, like restaurant scale bags. I've done that once so far and I ate it all, needed to throw out none. But I had help in the course of consuming that bag. This last bag was a grocery store sized bag, 9 ounces, and lasted only two meals.

Today I treated myself to a Skinny Egg White sandwich from Bruegger's. It was surprisingly good! I would definitely buy it again.

My mum used to use that phrase quite often, and that was always the context.

If there were a few kids over and Mum was making sandwiches for us, she'd say, "I'll just make a few rounds of sandwiches.", meaning more than one sandwich.

I don't know for a fact, but I suspect the term is quite old and from the days prior to bread tins when most loaves were rounder rather than square.

Maybe the idea is like a round of ammunition. The whole requires two or more components to actually do its job: shot ain't much without powder, and vice versa. Bread plus peanut butter plus jelly.

And after all, if you are making a sandwich with peanut butter, you deserve to be shot.

Today I had a Celebrity Slim shake for breakfast.
Mum & I are on their programme for the month.
It was on sale in our local pharmacy - £5 a box (a week's worth) down from £29.99 because they are rebranding.
I figured it was cheaper than buying food, so why not?
And I really could do with shifting some lbs. I mean REALLY need to (as usual).

However I am also drinking. Which won't help. Never does. Oops.
I have seriously cut back, and hope to be teetotal again by the time school starts.

mrs and I decided to give up drinking... in fact we had a couple of Gin n Tonics last night just to celebrate.

Goat milk yogurt, tortilla with egg ham and cheese, and coffee. All milk products were produced here along with the egg.

I swear I'm burping up powder

Griff, your brekkus sounds the most inviting of all I've seen so far.
Can I come round tomorrow?

Griff · 08-02-2011, 05:57 AM

Sure, pop by, I'll put on an extra plate.

Trilby · 08-02-2011, 06:47 AM

Two-bite brand blueberry scones.

A bit too sweet if you ask me.

And scalding hot coffee.

bbro · 08-02-2011, 07:41 AM

Egg salad with turkey sausage on an english muffin. Oh. and milk to go with it.

Bakery On Main gluten-free granola, and almond milk. Almost forgot to eat it.

I can see why.

Bacon is gluten-free, too.

Funny thing... most of it actually isn't.

Max is having oats with banana for breaky. So far I've had coffee. I think I might have some rockmelon soon.
