What did you have for breakfast? →[More:]
oatmeal with ground flax seed
Ha! I was going to post Unhappy Meals here, but someone already did over on Mefi. Check it out. It is a long article, and I have not gone through all of it yet, but it is worth it. It always strikes me as odd that people jump on any crazy diet fad but they are all so um... "skeptical" about say, global warming. /end derail
Heh, it's 12.20 and we are just about to head out to eat after a very late night celebrating a friend's birthday. (also, we always eat breakfast out in the weekends).
I think I will have some sort of banana-chocolate chip pancake concoction.
I ate my standard breakfast, which I have basically every day:
1 fried egg
1 slice of toasted pioneer bread
1 small glass of OJ
1 large mug of coffee with half and half
fruit (today was applesauce)
You might think I'm in a rut, but I'm actually happy to be in a routine of eating breakfast every day. For years it was diet coke and a cigarette, or doritos and coffee, or gummy worms and a power bar, or leftover tacos or other random dinner foods.
We eat out every Sunday. Today I had 2 poached eggs on brown toast, sith crispy bacon and home fries. Also, many cups of not-so-great coffee, black, and a large grapefruit juice.
My favorite thing about breakfast is having OJ and coffee. I am of the opinion that those two beverages are total opposites, and that's why it's so awesome to have both at the same time.
TheDonF, my hatred for Valentine's Day knows no bounds, but it is negated somewhat by my recent infatuation with cinnamon-flavored candies. For lunch, I just had a box of Hot Tamales. This can't be healthy.
Toasted multi-grain bagel from Johnnie's with blue cheese, liberal amounts of Tabasco, and a handful capers from Trader Joe's. Not too bad, but not too great either.
Shredded wheat (organic!) with some sort of unspecified "natural autumn flavorings" (which I assume to be cinnamon and vanilla, maybe?) and fresh blueberries in plain yogurt, with ground flaxseed mixed in. Coffee, with only whole milk and 1 tsp. of sugar (trying to work my way down from heavy cream and 2 or 3 tsp of sugar! I can do it!).
I'm developing an immense fondness for shredded wheat, which I don't think I'd had in years and now look forward to every morning. It's so satisfyingly crunchy.
I am eating the rest of my breakfast now, because it was too huge to finish at breakfast time: A burrito with seitan, onions, carrots, potatoes, avocado, and some other yummy stuff served with taboule and greens. Delish!
One of those liquid breakfast thingies, because I am now back at work after two weeks off :-( The upside is, I now have access to the Intarweb again, so I won't miss you all any more :-).
