uli Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Then there's Emo Phillips' line: "It takes a pot of hot coffee to get me going in the morning. Oh, I've tried other enemas...." Two cups of bustelo w. milk and a couple of Marlboros take care for me in the morning. Quote
niels Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 usually à double espresso and a bowl of low fat yoghurt with cruesli and/or à banana. Quote
Dave Garrett Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Two cups of bustelo w. milk and a couple of Marlboros take care for me in the morning. When I was much younger than I am now, that would have been a close approximation of my daily breakfast as well, frequently accompanied by pain au chocolat. Now it's usually a banana and a cup of Greek yogurt. Quote
kinuta Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 This morning I got up at the crack of dawn, went to the street market one block from our hotel and had some black aromatic sticky rice with coconut custard paste and coconut thick milk., water melon and mango. It was some good I had a second helping.I had to restrain myself from adding a plate of chicken biriani. Gentlemen. the street food in Bangkok is utterly delicious and ridiculously cheap.My gourmet level brekkies pluscoffee was well under two dollars. Tomorrow I'll have same and the biriani! Quote
JohnS Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 This morning a bacon sandwich. Tomorrow egg, bacon.mushrooms and toast. Sunday a mix of raisin bran flakes and fruit granola. Always with tea. Quote
catesta Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Most weekday mornings consist of a bagel when home in NY. I'm fortunate to be near a place that still knows how to make a bagel. When home out west such as this morning it's usually an English muffin, oatmeal or something like Cheerios. Breakfast is my wife's favorite meal so for her on the weekends I'll do bigger and better.

Hardbopjazz Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Posted January 13, 2015 Is an English muffin what someone in Great Britain would consider an English muffin? Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 English Muffin: I have a dish of muesli on work days. At weekends either a crumpet (not comments please), toast, a bagel or a scone with honey, jam or marmalade. I like a fry-up when on holiday or away at a weekend. This is a crumpet: The holes make it different from the muffin. Quote
Sundog Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Two big glasses of cold water followed by one of the variations below. Oatmeal topped with blueberries, walnuts and cinnamon, banana and Italian roast coffee or green tea Quinoa with same toppings as above, banana, and Italian roast coffee or green tea Cup of lowfat yogurt, handful of almonds, banana and Italian roast coffee or green tea Half a bagel with peanut butter, banana and Italian roast coffee or green tea Bowl of high fiber cereal, banana and Italian roast coffee or green tea Quote
erwbol Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 A large double wall glass of Darjeeling first flush preceded by bread with cheese and a cup of milk. Quote
.:.impossible Posted January 14, 2015 Report Posted January 14, 2015 No grits fans in here? I usually fry a couple of eggs over easy, or throw an omelette together with whatever is on hand while making silver dollar/mickey mouse pancakes for the kids on Saturdays or Sundays. If we have bacon in the crisper, I'll go all out and dice or shred a couple of potatoes and make hash browns. Typically though, Earl Grey. Thanks for the coffee technique Larry. I'll give it a shot this weekend. Lots of great roasters to choose from here in Richmond these days. Now if only I could find a decent fucking bagel. Nothing for miles, but Einstein Bros. It'll do in a pinch, but it ain't a bagel. Quote
GregK Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 ***I'm interested in the recipe Larry. Take two scoops of (ideally) freshly ground coffee (or however much it takes to brew a good strong cup for you) cover the ground coffee with water in a one cup metal measuring cup or pot and boil the coffee-water mixture on the stove, making sure that it doesn't boil over. Meanwhile, place a fine-enough mesh strainer over your coffee mug and when the coffee-water mixture begins to boil, pour it through the strainer, leaving the grounds in the strainer as the coffee essence drips into the mug. Then pour enough milk to fill the mug through the grounds that are still in the strainer, remove the strainer, dump out the grounds, and put the mug filled with the coffee essence/milk combo in a microwave and heat to taste -- about 1:40 does the trick with good-sized coffee mug for me. The results are like rocket fuel. Of course, all this only makes sense if you like a coffee-milk mixture. A sprinkle of cinnamon in the bottom of the mug before you begin can be nice. If all this sounds complicated, I do it rapidly and often more or less in my sleep. The idea of boiling coffee, I've been told, is regarded as barbaric by the French, but this method was taught to me by a talented female violinist who spent a good many years in Finland. Interesting, but maybe this is Nordic coffee, as Finland isn't part of Scandinavia. Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 250ml of fresh orange juice; bowl of muesli; maybe slice of own wholemeal bread & marmalade (but I'm dieting at present, so it doesn't come along very often now); BIG cup of tea.MG Quote

Jazzmoose Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 No grits fans in here? Well, if we switch from "typical" to "weekend", then it's grits, bacon, over medium fried eggs and either toast or an english muffin. Quote
