Doesn’t this look fabulous?
It’s become my favourite brekky. Well, elevensies really, after having had coffee and a couple of digestive biscuits at 7 o’clock, before yoga class. So around 11 in the morning I have fresh blueberries, sliced banana and natural yoghurt. Not only delicious but also quite a good “anti-cancer” meal.
Slowly but surely I’ve been introducing more of these much touted anti-cancer foods into my diet. Blueberries are one of the easiest additions so far (well, except the paying for them bit).

“Two soft poached eggs between two pancakes with HP sauce” Eeeps….
Eggs Florentine (as long as they are made well….) or Huevos Rancheros but I don’t get to eat these two very often).
Fruit and yogurt is lovely, as is a fruit smoothie….

Wow, lots of egg dishes.
I love eggs with HP sauce, zoomer. Though that’s more lunch (or brunch) food for me. Likewise, I would have enjoyed the Tangerina brekky much more if I’d been able to have it a couple of hours after having coffee and taking a walk.

At the moment I eat Weet-Bix with yoghurt and blueberries every morning. Six months ago it was muesli with sliced banana and before that it was avocado on wholemeal toast. I tend to eat the same breakfast foods for ages and then suddenly decide I can’t eat them any more.
I eat raspberries or blueberries almost every day in summer

I do that too, nursemyra. For ages it was wholemeal toast with olive oil and sliced tomatoes.
I’m going to look into getting one of my restaurant contacts to order blueberries for me. I’m sure that would be much cheaper.

Ooh, I love variety in breakfast! Eggs benedict or florentine are yummy, but I couldn’t eat them every day. My favourite weekend (ie unhurried) brekky is a soft boiled egg with marmite soldiers. But any combination of fruit and yoghurt is enough to make one feel smug. Grapefruit juice, or spicy tomato – something to kick the tastebuds into gear. Smushed avcado on toasted rye bread (I invented this when I was avoiding gluten for a while last year). Extra good with a squeeze of lime and some citron-peppar. Bacon butties dripping with Hp sauce, particularly if it’s a hairy bikers weekend. Porrige with a swirl of cream and some good honey.

Although I rarely have an egg breakfast, I guess I am going to have to be more conscientious about my eating habits…
I woke up at 3 am this morning and my heart was POUNDING, I took my blood pressure and it was appallingly high. I went to the doctor this morning. He said it is “danerously high”.
I have to take some meds and have some tests. I was asking my Mom when her father died. He had a stroke and then about 2 years later died of a heart condition. He was 53…. I am 52. Talk about wake-up call….
I was hoping this year not to have to use up all my sick leave before the end of March, as I did last year when I fell on the front stairs.
I have to take a week off work at least, by doctor’s orders.

Our favorite breakfast: a smoothie made from 1 C yogurt, 1 egg, 1 T flaxseed oil, and 1 C fruit (usually blueberries, but I have used peaches, plums, cherries, strawberries, blackberries, applesauce) and honey to taste blended to death in the blender.

You guys are all much too healthy eating for my tastes. My favorite breakfast is cold sausage pizza. The breakfast of champions.

Cold pizza? Yurrgh!
I tend to go for the normal breakfast cereals, most often museli or wheetabix. I avoid cornflakes. It doesn’t matter how quickly you guzzle them, they’ll always be soggy before you finish.
I have the occasional full Irish breakfast, but rarely as an actual breakfast. It makes a good hearty lunch.

I agree with you about cold pizza, TRiG, though warmed up leftover pizza makes for a good hangover brekky.
My favourite breakfast cereal is bran flakes, which also makes a nice evening snack.

In my student days I relished cold Chinese food in the morning. You just had to be careful you picked the little white cardboard box that was at the front, not in the back.
Unless you liked eating Science Projects. 😀

We tend to take all leftovers, including Chinese (hopefully before they turn into science projects), throw them in a big pot and add either broth or water. Season to taste and boil. Add some canned beans and a little pasta and — Voila! Soup!

Um, what is HP sauce? I’m sure I’ll want some. Also – a marmite soldier? I’ve had a soldier before but not like that. Uh, nevermind.
I like Irish oatmeal a lot. With butter, salt and pepper. Maybe a soft egg on top. Normal way around here is with sugar or honey and milk.
Eggs are good in any way, shape or form, but particularly with swiss cheese and mushrooms in a little omelet. With sourdough or rye toast and blackberry jam. Azahar’s brekky is much healthier…
I suppose I should be aiming that direction, too.

Such filthy minds! Marmite is that incredibly salty yeast spread (bit like Vegemite…). Soldiers are little strips of toast , so the recipe for marmite soldiers is:
make some toast
spread lightly with butter
spread a thin layer of marmite
cut into fingers.

Oh my! I do love poached eggs on top of chunks of toast. NO MARMITE or Vermiculite or whatever the other brand is called… Vegimite… ‘orrible!
I have one of those lovely counter-top grills (sort of a George Foreman type). I haven’t used it in ages. It is great because I can cook my entire meal at the same time and just have to set it and walk away.
I also want to get a small crock pot. All the ones they have seem to be designed to feed a family of 15 plus have left-overs for the next 11 months. THEY are always on sale but the ones that are even marginally close to what I want are always regularly priced and about the same price as the big ones. Even than, they are way too big for two, especially as my mother eats like a bird.
My oven died and they are supposed (“they” being the co-op) to replace it with a BRAND NEW ONE! This one is so horrible that when we moved in, you couldn’t read the number for the grease. The co-op swore up and down that the stove was cleaned before we moved in but in order to clean it, I ended up removing all the numbers and letters on the dial area of the stove… The thing is original to the co-op, a 23-year-old “almond” coloured monstrosity with the oven door handle falling off.
Every time I complained about the door to the woman who was in charge of the Maintenance Committee, she would tell me “all you have to do is take the back off the door and tighten the bolt. I kept telling her that it wasn’t a screw bolt but a pressure bolt and not only was it stripped but it was bent and you couldn’t screw it in at all… “No. All the ovens are the same. Just tighten the screw…”
She refused to even come over and confirm for herself that it was or wasn’t a screw-type bolt…

I meant to say that the Maintenance Committee has a new chair and I cannot believe that I have had someone appear at my door a day after I sent an email about a problem. Within days, I got a new thermostat and they came and made a temporary fix to the front door and will be replacing the whole frame and door in the spring. For two years, Mom would get locked in or out because the door would jam as the bottom hinge wasn’t actually attached to anything… No shims and no wood behind the door jamb!
They also fixed the stairs where there was a gap between the trim and the wall which has been on annual inspections since we moved in.
