The Breakfast Thread

an orange and 2 left over from Halloween Kit Kats.

Because spouse had to go in to work early today, we made some breakfast burritos last night so he could take one with him on the road.  I just ate mine, and it was really good! Haven't had one in a while.  We made some scrambled eggs, cut up some breakfast sausage, put in some Mexican cheese blend, some cut up jalapenos he had roasted, and some leftover roasted mini and sweet potatoes.  I could deal with another! I think the sweet potatoes added a nice flavor.

Like the sound of those burritos.....might have to consider that option soon!

Double post, muuuuch later...


New yummy breakfast spread: equal parts lemon curd, honey, and crushed pineapple.

Or just the lemon curd and the honey. Or the pineapple with either one....

English Breakfast tea + a small knob of ginger + 1 tsp. sugar.

Oatmeal cooked with dried dates, dried apricots, and dried cherries. Plus a bit of very dark brown sugar for added sweetness that, in retrospect, was unnecessary given the sweetness of the fruit.

A banana.  But Economizer's A-1 Sauce on a burrito has me planning for a much tastier egg and tortilla for tomorrow (interthreadulity).

Mrs. Dismalist bought crumpets at Trader Joe's. I had one, toasted and drenched in butter. Fantastic.

Vanilla yogurt and a piece of coffee cake.

Those crumpets are my go-to base when I need something to put homemade jam on.

I made a pot of steel cut oats and have been reheating some every morning.  This morning I'll probably throw chopped up cherries on them before heating, since I have cherries that need to be used soon.

I've been enjoying Red River cereal (steel cut wheat and rye) lately, but alas it is no longer distributed in Canada.

Second breakfast today was a mini-waffle, toasted; strawberry-syrup, heated; bacon, and tea.

And I just realized I bypassed lunch entirely!

Hmmm....

I've been on an orange kick lately.  The ones in local stores have been really good this winter.  So, today's breakfast was a couple of slices of toast with butter, a juicy orange, and iced tea.

It's been a while! Sundays we have a different breakfast these days.  It usually consists of eggs of some sort and bread of some sort, usually with avocado and some other stuff.  I recently came across a viral recipe for crispy feta eggs, so we tried them the past few Sundays (and last Monday because of the holiday).  The original recipe I found includes fried egg cooked with oregano, red pepper, and feta in a tortilla covered with a layer of avocado and topped with crisp chili oil.  Today we tried switching to scrambled eggs and halving the feta to reduce sodium and so forth.  It's always pretty good and easy and nice change.  The crisp chili oil we picked up isn't really crispy, as some TikTok video suggested it might be, so maybe we need to try another one.

Note: I see that this is flagged as an old topic, but it's only on the 6th page (so not one that would be archived, I don't think), and I don't think it makes sense to start a new topic on breakfast.  If I was incorrect in proceeding in this thread, please feel free to delete or move it.

Early morning outing, so coffee (the equivalent of a double espresso with steamed half and half) and a banana before heading out, and an egg salad sandwich (on challah from a local grocery) as I was waiting for the event to start.

Toast with butter. Strawberries. Café au lait.
