Subject: RE: BS: What did you have for breakfast? From: GUEST Date: 21 Jan 11 - 05:28 PM What is desafinado?? Ah should be descafinado - strong decaf coffee! |
Subject: RE: BS: What did you have for breakfast? From: Ed T Date: 21 Jan 11 - 05:29 PM :) I like sardines. I also like smoked salmon, especially the heat smoked type. There are few fish that I don't like, or would not consider eating for breakfast. The canned sardines were "in spring water" not in "olive oil", not that there is anyhing wrong with olive oil. I just like the young herring taste better, versus the overpowering olive oil taste. Two days ago I fried up the meat from two lobsters, in butter. I made a sandwitch with mao. Frying the lobster created an entirely different flavour. A few weeks ago, I made a clam chowder for breakfast...it was very good. |

Subject: RE: BS: What did you have for breakfast? From: Dave MacKenzie Date: 21 Jan 11 - 05:33 PM Seeing it was Friday, I had a Morrison's Big Breakfast (two fried eggs, three middle rashers, one sausage, mushrooms, baked beans, two hash browns and half a slice of fried bread) with black pudding and no toast washed down with capucchino, and it was even still morning (when I started). I won't mention the two mugs of coffee in the shower. |

Subject: RE: BS: What did you have for breakfast? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 21 Jan 11 - 09:54 PM 6 days a week I have half a cup of home made museli (commercial museli + puffed brown rice + bran + more oats + rice flakes + oat bran + rye flakes + sultanas, makes many jars & lasts a along time!), spoonfull of mixed linseeds & sunflower seeds, sliced banana with rice milk & spoonful of Omega-3 oil. I hard boiled egg + spoonful of baked beans. Assorted vitamins & minerals washed down with water & lemon juice. On Sunday I have brunch of 2 slices of toasty cheese with egg fried in non-stick pan on top, mushrooms all over, very large banana smoothie (1 banana + 1 small tub of yoghurt, 3 tubs of water & lots of skim milk powder, maybe cinnamon). Smoothie can last most of the day. (ps. Next meal is late at night & for the past few weeks has been from the local Thai shop.) sandra (not as healthy as brekkie reads!) |
Subject: RE: BS: What did you have for breakfast? From: Janie Date: 21 Jan 11 - 10:00 PM No, I did not have chortle for breakfast. Coffee. Eventually. With canned milk. Because I kept forgetting to buy half-and-half. Eventually, because I also kept forgetting to buy coffee beans. Have a stash of stale Folger's ground coffee bought at the local convenience store sometime or other when I realized I was out of coffee at 11:00 pm. Had been making do with it for a couple of days. This morning, I poured water into the coffee maker, pulled out the basket to add the Folger's, opened the lid on the coffee grinder and scooped the ground coffee into there, slipped the empty coffee basket back over the pot, and made myself a full pot of hot water. Being as how I also kept forgetting to buy dish soap, once I finally succeeded in making a pot of stale coffee, I realized there was not a clean coffee cup in the house. Good thing I have heavy, thick-walled glasses. Rough morning. |

Tonight, I had something Dorothy mentioned in another thread...it sounded so good...black beans warmed up over which I melted some cheese, then shredded lettuce and a tomato sliced up. It was delicious! |

From: Ed T Date: 22 Jan 11 - 09:18 AM "Have a stash of stale Folger's ground coffee bought at the local convenience store sometime or other when I realized I was out of coffee at 11:00 pm" In our house we have a similar back up coffee stash. We call it "rat shit coffee". :) |
Subject: RE: BS: What did you have for breakfast? From: JennyO Date: 22 Jan 11 - 10:04 AM Weetbix - the genuine stuff from Oz which I sent over here. The box is nearly empty, so soon I'll have to start having Weetabix, which is the UK's imitation one - not much different in taste, but not quite as good - naturally! Followed that with a cup of tea and a nice piece of raisin toast with lots of butter. Yum! The tea also comes from Oz, and we're fast running out of that. There is a chain of tea places there called T2. They have a huge range of interesting teas. We usually drink decaffeinated, and we discovered one there which is called Daintree tea. It is naturally low in caffeine - actually lower than your normal decaffeinated tea, and has a lovely flavour. We make a pot of that first thing every morning. There's no equivalent here that I've found, so I suppose I'll have to get my son or daughter or someone in Sydney to send us some more - or wait till we visit in 2112. |

Subject: RE: BS: What did you have for breakfast? From: GUEST, topsie Date: 22 Jan 11 - 12:30 PM I remember, many many years ago, when there was still food rationing, we had some strange-tasting white butter that came in a tin, and that I was told came from Australia. I also remember having weetabix that didn't taste quite the same as weetabix - in fact it was nicer, and I can still remember the taste. Maybe that came from Australia too. Maybe it was weetbix. |

Subject: RE: BS: What did you have for breakfast? From: JennyO Date: 22 Jan 11 - 03:14 PM Guest, topsie, don't know about the strange white butter, but I bet it WAS Weetbix that you had that was a bit like Weetabix. Rob's sister Rosemary and her husband Dave stayed here over the new year, and Dave tried it for breakfast. He reckoned it was nicer than Weetabix too :) |

Gnu, this is what has my knickers in a knot. On Utube is a video of three of the most talented folk singers I know. They hail from New Brunswick, and they are not getting much attention on this folk music site while what some of you had for breakfast seems to be much more important. I don't get it. |
