I expect most of us were told it’s the most important meal of the day. For years, I skipped breakfast because I just didn’t want to eat first thing in the morning. Now I need to have something with a little protein to start my day or I get headaches.
For work, I usually glop some cottage cheese and fruit into a container and eat at my desk - today it’s with peaches. Sometimes I’ll boil up some eggs and grab a couple of them. And if I’m feeling really ambitions, I’ll make PB&J to start the day.
On weekends when we usually go out for breakfast, I’ve been favoring eggs over easy and toast. I find pancakes are too sweet, but french toast seems to be OK. The cafe in Leonardtown has good sweet N.O.T. pancakes, and I’ll get them with a side of ham sometimes. And I also like ham-n-egg-n-cheese on croissants if that’s an option.
With a side of Diet Coke, because I never developed the taste for coffee.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 64 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 90 and N.O.S. for the day. Brekkie is a variety of things for me. Yogurt and 'nanner is a go to but sometimes I do make scrambled aigs, grits, and toast. I may even do some snausage or bacon. I like pancakes and waffles but rarely make 'em cause it’s a lot of work.
Today da cave gets pressure washed. He should be here around eight this mornin’. I shall defilthyfy da cave as well. Tonight is men’s night over to the church house so beer is chillin’ and steak is marinatin’. I shall head over early to prep stuff as usual.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then I suppose I should at least make myself presentable and start on cave cleanin’.
Good morning! FCM, I am just like you in that I skip breakfast a lot. It’s partly because I just don’t have an appetite in the morning, and partly because I just don’t take the time on workdays. Lately, we’ve pulled the blender out and I’ve been making fruit smoothies, but I just said to my husband about 20 minutes ago, I’ve yet to find a recipe that I’m in love with. So, anybody have any fruit smoothie recipes they want to share? Should that be a new thread? Idk. Enjoy the day!
If I don’t eat in the morning I get evil. On weekdays I have two eggs scrambled and a bowl of oatmeal. On weekends I have pancakes. Coffee is required.
I was hoping to be first. Breakfast is my favorite meal. Every day I have half a grapefruit, 2 eggs (scrambled, not Cadbury’s), sometimes a sausage patty, coffee, and 2 cigarettes.
Breakfast is usually something quick and easy during the week. Most days it will be eggs in some form, usually an omelette with either peppers or mushrooms to make it a little less boring. Other days it will be muesli because I’m allowed extra carbs on my gym days.
At the weekend, I usually don’t bother on a Saturday and then on Sunday it’s often just a protein shake or a bacon butty, just because I can.
Usually I don’t eat ‘breakfast’ as we define it. I wait until 10-11am and then eat, then have dinner between 5-7PM.
Got the Blue Jeans and other stuff in the washer and need to do some mid-month stockage, but otherwise a slow day (no soccer). May go window-shopping (for new windows for the house, that is).
I’m not a breakfast fan, but have to eat or I get a migraine. Also it helps cushion the handful of pills.
I’m a toast and coffee fan. I have a collection of breads and English muffins to choose from. Today I’m having a couple of Danish because I went to Wegmans supermarket and made the mistake of going by the bakery.
Breakfast can be problematic for me, since my stomach generally isn’t that happy about solid input too early. Let’s see how that mixture of granola and vanilla yogurt sits.
Back to irk, at a company I wanted to be out of, as of today. Whoopee.
Two bowls of cereal. Finish a box, start something different. That’s why I don’t like the warehouse clubs; one gets sick of a box long before it gets finished. Red, I spent some time doin’ some research yestidy (ie. lookin’ at YouTube videos). I’m askin’ you to help me out next weekend, either by direct observation, or by asking around if you stop. How often do bicyclists ride the Dragon? I’s ‘fraid that narrow, two lane road with very limited sight distance & cars/motorcycles trying to push it is a recipe fo’ becomin’ a hoor ornament. :eek:
How dangerous is it for slower (& smaller) than speed limit traffic? Could I pay someone (a reasonable amount) to ride behind me so I don’t get pancaked? I’m thinking a moto could slow up/stop before a turn (where they are visible) & then speed up to me after I get thru the really hairy ones.
blurfage No breakfast usually. Sometimes I will stop at Baby’s Coffee for coffee and will get a 1/2 bagel with bacon and cheese. I usually wait until lunch though. I always have coffee at irk.
It is Moanday which means busy. I must make a shopping trip to the Pubic Store for stuff for the office. I am out of my staples. And I need soda and food.
Home like today I usually skip breakfast or go with something like a cereal bar. I have one of those odd stomachs that has to be awake several hours before it can face food and I hate cooking in the AM just for me (the OW leaving before I get up as a rule). The OW has much the same belly and does something small and basic at her desk once she gets there.
Now on weekends if we’re awake for a while and going somewhere ---- I go big and bad. Eggs over easy on hash with taters or possibly chicken fried steak and eggs covered in gravy. If you listen closely on a Saturday, that odd noise you hear coming from the direction of Pittsburgh is my arteries hardening.
RED has probably done the Dragon more than I have by lots but ------ sometimes NOT attacking the Dragon is even hairy for huge Harleys if some real idiot comes up behind you. If I’m just cruising it I break out all the high-vis gear I got. More than packing up with other slow-pokes I think the better bet is alone or with just one other person. You get three or four and said idiot just has to try to blow past all of you and bad things can result.
On the good side — I have seen at least a couple bicycles on the Dragon and bad stuff is by far the minority of the action. In the last five years, between myself and a lot of friends, I know of maybe 3 close or bad calls that have been actually witnessed. Hold your line and watch the edge of the road as much as you do what is coming from your front or rear. The side of the Dragon and those “scales” carved into the center-line are more of a risk that all the other traffic.
Breakfast for me is whatever I feel like eating. Sometimes it’s cup of noodles, or if we had pizza I’ll eat the leftovers for breakfast. Sometimes I’ll make up a batch of egg muffins and heat one up and roll it up in a tortilla shell with cheese and sour cream. I usually can’t eat as soon as I wake up, and sometimes I forget to eat until I get so hungry that I get shaky. Sometimes, it’s just a few crackers because I’m not supposed to take my pills on an empty stomach and I’ve learned the hard way that I’d better eat a little something.
It’s a bright and N.O.S. today, a little cool, but feels nice out. The front postage stamp got mowed this morning. He’ll get to the back sometime today, but I don’t have to go out back with him.
The cat totally flipped out when I came back in. He’s never done that before, so I guess he is missing the dog, or at least feels alone without the dog. We all miss the dog; like my son said, the house feels dead without him.
I don’t want another dog, but I told him if he wants to get another one it’s okay with me.
We have to run to the UPS store sometime today.
The house is a bit of a mess again. I have some boxes that need to be cut up for recycling.
Last night I had more dreams about cleaning house, and having messy guests that were leaving empty candy wrappers and coke bottles all over the house. Along with muddy footprints and tracking leaves in, and a big pile of leaves that blew in because somebody didn’t close the door.
Back from the Pubic store $100 later. I had to buy pickles for my grounds maintenance dude. I planted some bushes that he has to weed whack around and he takes good care of me.
I spent probably $20 on beef jerky for the dog. I had to get tea, soda, junk food and some lunch stuff. I will be set for the week at least.
Tis Hot here. We had some good rain yesterday making it very humid today.
Fine I will just talk to myself like old Swampbear does often. Sari I know you miss him. I can;t even imagine. It is like losing a child. Maybe in a little while you will want another dog. I lasted 5 weeks the last time.
Da cave is all pressure washed on the outside and defilthyfied (somewhat) on the inside. Go Me! The rest of the day until I head over to the church house is chill time.
Lunch dinner was wursts slathered in horseradish sauce and hot sauce. Now its time for a fresh shirt as I had several ooopses and then time for a scenic ride to work. Days this nice I can easily turn 6.4 miles into 100 or so. I am well known for going from North Side to Crafton through Ohio and West Virginia.
I could always come visit and -------------- never mind. Hugs your way, kiddo.
Odd internet today jamming me up on multiple windows. May be time to close everything and shut down to clear cookies. Or accept it as a sign from God that I should buy and eat several cookies. I sometimes confuse the two.
