Breakfast is usually blueberries, carrots, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, cheese, slice of ham or beef, oatmeal or grits. I like to pick at it while working. Lunch today was a can of beef vegetable soup (bleah, I’m going to start making my own). Dinner was homemade Thai style coconut/shrimp soup and a tuna fish sandwich. Had a hotdog as a snack along with leftover from batch of chicken soup I just made. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Sounds like Saturday breakfast (only we have bacon). > > Do you make the hashbrowns from scratch? Yep! I usually prefer starchy potatoes for hash browns, but I had some leftover Yukon golds I wanted to use up which worked nicely, too, though not as crispy. Just enough for one serving— just pass over the grater unpeeled, squeeze dry (a ricer works well for this) and fry. ---

A standard work day: Breakfast: strong black coffee Lunch: Home made salad: baked salmon, lettuce cucumber, green beans, boiled egg, horseradish and yogurt dressing. I try to do carb free for lunch, to avoid that post lunch slump. Dinner: [Sicilian sardine pasta](https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/fish-recipes/pasta-con-le-sarde/), but with tinned rather than fresh sardines, which is actually very successful. Plus a couple of glasses of a nice Claret. I should add I’m not some oily fish fetishist. It was accidental, my evening meals are usually meat. ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > just pass over the grater unpeeled, squeeze dry I prefer to peel potatoes for hashbrowns, but leave the skin on for home fries. I rinse and squeeze, rinse and squeeze in a colander to get rid of as much starch as possible; then try them by pressing them with a paper towel. I prefer russets. I made home fries with yellow potatoes once. The Spousal Unit liked them, but they tasted kind of sweet to me. ---

A bowl of oat groats with maple syrup (made from trees in my yard) with butter and cinnamon, with a small piece of 2 year old swiss cheese on the side, and a glass of cold brewed iced coffee with half and half. A typical breakfast for me. ---

I normally peel, as well, but this was a quick 10 minute breakfast, and the leftover yellow potatoes I had were small and had very thin skin, so no reason to peel. Russets, though, for sure. I prefer Russets (or similar) as well in this application, but I use whatever’s on hand, as long as it’s not too waxy (like I wouldn’t do this with red potatoes.) ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > I use whatever’s on hand, Sounds like that cabbage soup last night. Half a head of cabbage, a packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix, leftover chicken broth, some baby carrots that were in the freezer, and a small potato. My wife made fun of me because I have a tendency to follow recipes, rather than to just throw things into a pot. But she liked it. (I do improvise once I ‘know’ a recipe, but she’s always making fun of me because I generally like precision. 😉 ) ---
