Well the important thing in the morning is to eat something to stimulate your metabolism, and a good source of protein.

So, an eggwhite omlette and a bannana  
or some peanut butter on toast.

That and a shot of bourbon and you’re all set.

Didn’t freaky big mouth tiny lip guy (Mick Jagger) once say he had to take a few shots of Jack before Junior High every day just to make it through without snapping?

Stroganoff flavor is ideal for breakfast because it comes with that stuff that mixed with an eyedropper of milk turns into something vaguely sour-creamish. Gotta have your dairy in the morning. \*\*

Ahhh, a fellow connoisseur of the fine things in life. We ought to start a club, maybe get some matching jackets or something.
