Single Breakfast

[shittim]

Any time I drink any coffee…I’m in the bathroom in less than a half hour, usually. TMI maybe.

a common occurrence and often welcome.

a common occurrence and often welcome.

Wait, I never considered that aspect. Some people drink coffee specifically for that intended effect?

As a cure for constipation? Or just as a means of keeping a regular schedule?

My father says that about good coffee. Lackluster coffee, he adds cream.

Like, if he is at home with his preferred coffee, always black. But when he visits his mother, where there is nothing better than Folgers available, he adds cream to it.

A local friend here in our rural area had a hoity-toity inlaw who would visit, had uppity, elitist taste, one morning the nerd said, "I didn't think we would ever have anything in common, but your coffee is really is really exceptional, what is it?", friend replied, "Folgers, I put in an extra scoop"

I don't what they drink it for, that is often the effect, a warm glass of water first thing is often used as well.
Is this an "iron sharpens iron" deal" it isn't what I picture when I think of that verse?

Nah, that wouldn't work for Dad. Uncle Fred drinks it very, very, VERY strong. His coffee will challenge you to an arm wrestling match. Dad still adds creamer.

 

[shittim]

the spoon stands up in it?

 

[Lynx]

He hasn't used a spoon in years. Last time he tried, it dissolved.

Nothing to stir anyway. Uncle Fred drinks it black, always.

This causes some trouble for Dad, because he has to use his finger to stir cream in it.

 

[ForgiveMeGod]

Maybe TMI, but also common. I hear a lot of people complain about this effect.

I think the taste and that, are the main reasons why I drink it

I drank Army coffee black. Coffee doesn't get any worse than that.

As someone who eats oatmeal just about every morning, I'm probably too boring for this thread. But, I noticed you mentioned tuna for breakfast and thought I'd mention that every once in a great while I'll break from my usual overnight oats to have something different. Sometimes I make a tasty tuna omelette.

Tuna omelets? That sounds good. Anything you add to that besides tuna?

If I eat oatmeal, I like the steelcut oats with butter, walnuts and either maple or honey. I think I burned myself out on reg mush oatmeal.

 

[Sculpt]

If I have avocados on hand, my breakfast is however many are ripe. Whether it's two or five, they are gone before I go to w*rk.

I like avocado mashed on thick buttered wheat toast with some pepper and salt.

Dad said to tell you that his coffee makes army coffee look weak.

"I put three tablespoons per cup, and then I reperk it."

I get the impression that means it is strong coffee.

Yes, cheese and other things.
I got the idea off The Protein Chef several years ago and have been making them ever since. I don't do mine exactly like he does his, but everyone will alter recipes to their liking (I always do). But, this is it...

 

[HealthAndHappiness]

I know. I was being facetious.

I go down to the auction house on Saturday nights, and most of what the auctioneer says isn't even words. You have to listen close to figure out where the bid currently is. Rubber biscuit sounds a lot like an auctioneer.

I thought Dan Akroyd would write more like this, but I can only guess he was singing this song as a kid. Maybe it was a shout out to Leroy Van Dyke.

Looks real good.
Only thing I'd change is I would throw away the Teflon pan and caramelize a regular onion first.

How do you like to cook your omelets?

I know most people put some milk in their eggs. I don't do this. I've made tons of omelettes without doing that.
If I make omelettes with a veggie and/or meat filling, I saute the veggies first. And, of course, I cook the meat first.
I'll saute bell pepper and onion and sliced mushrooms. Once I've got my filling ready, I'll put butter in the empty skillet and then the eggs. Once the eggs are ready, I put the veggies and some cheese on the veggies. I flip mine the American omelette way. My voice might sound like Julia Child, but I don't cook my omelettes like she did (the French way). Not opposed to that way though!

I've seen him in concert! It was one of the best concerts I've been to lol

Ok, he wins.

Sounds good!

That reminds me of some of the ways Mom would make them too.
One early memory was how she'd soft boil eggs. She has a little tray that sat in the hot water until the cooked just right. Then she'd salt them and add cheese sometimes. That was back when we could buy free range farm eggs that had flavor . Brown eggs were a Treet. Duck eggs were from the pond and goose eggs from the back yard.

Memories are what I have since I became allergic to chickens and their eggs.

Funny thing is that this is a popular subject this evening.
I just got off the phone with a friend who's a farmer. He brought up the subject of how his wife prepared scrambled eggs.

 

[Lynx]

I think today's single breakfast is going to be hardboiled eggs with tahini on them.

Or maybe a can of refried red beans with chipotle aoli on wheat Ritz. I'm still discussing it with my stomach.
