There was an interesting show on FoodTV tonight, "The Secret Life of Breakfast", it seems that most of the world see it as a snack than a meal. Italians just have "cafe e biscoti" (coffee and some sort of hard cookie/bread/biscuit), the French, coffee and croissant, danish have toast, jam, and a hot drink, but we seem to have toast, potatoes, bacon, meats, etc. I wonder if it was 1950s/60s marketing, or what thats all about... I personally never eat in the morning, probably because i get up at 9-10am, but by noon I am hungry and its usually toast, coffee, juice. That being said, I LOVE breakfast, I just never have it at breakfast, if I am lucky and on vacation I will have it closer to lunchtime. When I have "breakfast" its usually on a sunday and if i hit a diner I get it all, hashbrowns, eggs, meat, pancakes, etc. Otherwise, I eat breakfast once every 2-3 months. I guess I am just not a morning person and prefer to have my heaviest meal at sundown!

Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters

They serve that on the plane?

I got back last night!!!!!!!!



Delta actually has some very decent airplane food now. It's ridiculously expensive, but a far cry from SunChips.

I don't know what food program I was watching but often they drank beer for breakfast because it wasnt as strong as wine but safter than drinking the water... maybe a beer or wine for lunch but never for breakfast for me!

Good old bacon and eggs today.

one pack of Banana Bread flavored oatmeal.

For all you breakfast lovers, make sure to CHECK THIS OUT .

I saw some taylor ham on sale today in the supermarket... Every once in awhile I crave the salty goodness, but I passed on it, because i just want it like once a year, not enough to eat every few days for 2 weeks... I bought enough potatoes and onions today (actually free with coupons) to make enough hashbrowns that I wouldn't normaly eat in a year!! Time to get out the cast iron skillets!

That's amazing, JR. I had a ham steak and fried eggs this morning, which is a breakfast I have maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

Weird.

Well, being nocturnal, I don't normally wake until 9-10am, and I am never hungry when I wake, so by the time I do get hungry, like noon, most places are done serving breakfast. I know diner's do, but my heaviest meal tends to be dinner, not lunch. When i am on vacation, I never sleep in because its vacation, I like to enjoy it! So thats the best, when you wake up and then go out for breakfast, the problem is, then I have to skip lunch... I just can't eat that often though I would love to!

I got a slab of corned beef brisket for St. Pats day, and you know the leftovers are going to be for corned beef hash -- breakfast is inevitable next week!

Oatmeal and fruit this morning.

I had oatmeal and 2 pieces of toast.

Went out for brunch with a friend of mine before. I had a three egg white mushroom omelet with tomato, 2 whole wheat pancakes, and a couple of slices of fruit.

Nice DC.

Very healthy.

Well, I knew that I would be going out tonight to have spanish food, so I figured at least a healthy breakfast was in order.

I switched to whole grain pancake mix a while back and I can't tell the difference. Because of my history with colitis every little bit of fiber helps.

My brother and s-i-l bought us a pancake warmer and giant pitcher for mixing the batter from Pottery Barn. I know that I made fun of it at the time, and probably bitched about it because it was huge. I don't use the pitcher (although Mr. Babe loves it), but for anyone who likes pancakes and waffles, that warmer is fantastic. I made crepes last weekend, and kept them warm in there. It has become indispensable.

Sausage Mushroom and Egg a fried egg sandwich with Cheese melted over it washed down with a glass of Sunny Delight

Coffee and a handful of pignoli cookies.

What are pignoli cookies?

I had 2 poached eggs on wheat toast.

I had a bowl of Shreddies and a banana!

I had 2 slices of French toast with 2 pieces of bacon.

I had a big old Sunday breakfast. Eggs, pancakes, sausage, grits and hash browns.

That is a great breakfast except for the grits. What kind of syrup do you use PB?

Miggie doesn't like grits?

I use Mom And Pop's Vermont Maple Syrup.

Grits are disgusting like pickles.

Ouch, Miggie.

Fish and grits for Miggie?

I thought we were friends. But you keep wanting me to be sick
