What's for breakfast?→[More:]Not sure why I love these mundane topics so much, but I do!
Mine is leftover fajita meat (chicken) from a meeting yesterday. And coffee. And now some diet coke.
I have had nothing yet but two cups of coffee and a couple of tortilla chips. I was cleaning and found a folded bag of Tostidos on my husband's desk,so I chomped a couple. I want an Egg McMuffin or an omelet.
There is nothing appetizing in my house. I'll probably make two eggs over medium with toast, or a turkey sandwich. I'll probably need to feed the kids as well since they've only had popcorn so far. Don't call DCF on me.
I had a banana and some yoghurt for breakfast, along with copious quantities of strong black coffee.
I just had a late lunch (it's aftr 4pm here) - a sandwich made with fresh crusty bread spread with a cream cheese roulade that had herbs and garlic rolled into it, with salad, and a chocolate chip muffin to follow.
Seething resentment from the hammering that started at 7am next door, followed by teeth-gritting murderous annoyance from the electric drills and saws that started up at 7:30, with a dessert of "OMG I fucking give up" when the cement mixer arrived, loudly, at 8am.
When I went outside to glare at the truck, my neighbors were out there, so I at least got to make grumpy/sleepy/frowny faces at them while they apologized for the noise. But they were entirely too chipper for me to believe they were sincere.
I also made rice pudding and blackberry tea. Which were both very good. And would have been better had I been able to open the windows and enjoy the morning sea breeze while consuming them.
My sad little breakfast consisted of a Zone bar. My stomach was a bit off yesterday so I'm avoiding anything spicy, which means just about everything in the fridge.
Coffee and cigarettes. Went out early, otherwise I would have had a home-made McMuffin (egg and cheese, with a hash brown on it) around 11. Had chocolate biscuits, a nectarine and more coffee at a training session instead.
Wanted something bread-y but have no bread. So I made waffles from Bisquick mix, and threw in a whole bunch of blueberries and raspberries that I froze a month or so ago. Butter, maple syrup, cup 'o'coffee. Man, those waffles were good! Made a couple extra to freeze and heat in the toaster sometime this week.
I got served with a lawsuit immediately upon waking up, so it was beer and cigarettes for breakfast. (Admittedly, I woke up really late, so it's not as bad as it sounds.)
