Free For All Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 I haven't had a good breakfast in awhile. Boo. I only do the big b'fast on Saturday or Sunday. During the week it's usually toast and/or a grapefruit or banana, eaten standing over the kitchen sink. Always coffee though! Fresh ground beans through a French press and into the thermos and off to school (I keep some half & half in my little fridge at school). Preheating the thermos w/hot water really helps keep it hot through most of the day, although I'm usually done drinking coffee by early afternoon. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) What decadence! Weekdays: bowl of muesli (with blackcurrant cordial...milk is for wimps!). Weekends: 3 pieces of toast with orange/tangerine marmalade or honey. Teabag in a mag with boiling water on in both cases. If I'm away I'll indulge in a fry-up.

Cliff Englewood Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Just a bowl of cheapo Sainsbury's muesli for me in the week (breakfast has to be polished off in 3 minutes!); with toast and honey or marmalade at weekends. When I'm away I always indulge in full English heart-attack fry-up...or even better, a full Irish (black and white pudding, soda bread!). Ah there was a time when I really enjoyed a full Irish, but now, it's just too salty and and as much as I used to love black and white pudding and soda bread, now it's just heart-burn city. Quote

Oh, soda bread with a fry-up! That's one of the joys of being in Ireland! Not so keen on the white pudding. It's quite hard to get white soda bread in England - they do the brown stuff in Sainsbury's but I like the white better. Quote

Well with the brown, depending on how much of it I eat and what I eat with it, I sometimes end up spending the day making sounds of discomfort similar to the ones Homer made when he ate the Guatamalan insaity peppers at the chilli cook off. :D Heart Burn City.

Jazzmoose Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Just sat down to breakfast over the computer. Yeah, it's 1PM, but I work swing shift, and then I'm up all night, so... Today's start: a cinamon/raisin bagel with cream cheese and a cup of coffee. Not as much cream cheese as I'd like, but I managed to lose forty pounds last year and don't want to risk a rerun! Quote
Free For All Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 Not so keen on the white pudding. What exactly is white pudding? Quote

Cliff Englewood Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) But Doctor, why do I have high blood pressure and a mild heart condition??? BTW, this is a joke, I don't have high blood pressure or a mild heart condition. :D Edited February 23, 2009 by Cliff Englewood Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Sausage links, scrambled eggs, and toast (just getting to breakfast now). Quote
Free For All Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 Nothing elaborate today, just coffee and toast. And grapefruit- I love ruby red grapefruit and the ones I've been getting here have been consistently spectacular. Perfect balance of sweet and tart- absolutely delicious. Quote
AndrewHill Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Yesterday, me and the fam went to Bob Evans for what was arguably the best breakfast out for years: great coffee, great omlets, banana bread, home fries and gravy! Quote
Joe G Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 I'm thinking of leaving work a little earlier than I planned and get some blueberry pancakes and a veggie omelet at Saywer's. Quote
