Breakfasts

Blegh. I always tell myself not to, but I end up doing it anyways.

Had to head across town this morning early enough that I didn't have time to get breakfast before leaving ( okay, so really I slept in too late ) and I hit a McDonald's on the way to get some food. Sausage egg mcmuffin, hashbrown and medium orange juice.

Ugh. Some six hours later now my stomach is punishing me for it.

I miss my old apartment downtown, the one I had before I moved back east for a few years. It had a little grocery store ran by a very nice couple who spoke almost no english and kept it stocked with a very strange assortment of food, as well as a selection of chinese herbs, magazines and delicacies. I used to get a large poppy seed muffin and a quart of chocolate milk for breakfast everyday.

Before that when I had a townhouse out in the 'burbs to the southwest of Portland I used to take the bus into downtown and get off about five blocks for my office at the time and get a ham & cheese omelet, three strips of bacon, an english muffin, and a bottle of grape juice at a place called the Bagel Bistro.

Oddly enough, I think all those meals cost about the same at the time, give or take a small bit of change.

I do so love breakfast food. Aboslutely my favorite meal of the day, unless it's a day that includes a turkey dinner. I've found, in my frugal New Yorker way, that I'm happy enough with a $2 breakfast of an egg and cheese on a bagel that I can skip lunch entirely, and grab my dinner when I get home. It's useful when I don't feel like spending $7 on a sandwich at lunch.

I like Breakfests, but I so rearly get to eat them.

I have several places I like to go, but my Fave is Lucille's which is a cajun place. One of the few places that is still around since i moved to Boulder. The breakfest of Choice is Cajun Breakfest - Red beans toped with two poached eggs and covered with hollandaise sauce,with the only grits that I have ever had that are edible. Some Chickory coffee on the side and a killer biscuet with stawberry rheubarb jelly....mmmmm tasty.

Or...beignets and Chickory Coffee...also good.

I love breakfast food. Big tubs of oatmeal or cream of wheat with milk and sugar (brown or white) and raisins ... battered products with butter and syrup ... eggs and bacon and potatoes and bacon and ...

Hell, I even like Cheerios.

That said, ironically, I eat breakfast probably one day a week (Sunday brunch, after church, at Le Peep's). I'm not a morning person, and carving an extra 15-30 minutes out of my morning to make breakfast just doesn't work for me.

On the other hand, there's a guy who comes around a couple of times a week to the office around 9 a.m. selling some very yummy, spicy, breakfast burritos ... that works, too.

Breakfast for me these days, most days, is a bowl of Cheerios. Been my favorite cereal since before I knew how to use a spoon and I still eat a lot of it.

Actually though, I rarely have breakfast most days. Been sleeping in so late I have usually been skipping straight to lunch and maybe having a bowl of cold cereal or making scrambled eggs and bacon as a dinner.

I rarely eat breakfast. I have to be up for quite a while before I can eat a full meal, so it's usually only on my day off that I'll fix French toast, scrambled eggs, and hash browns (when I have the cool Ore-Ida dehydrated hash browns that sre sooo hard to find...)

If I have cereal (prefer Count Chocula, Cap'n Crunch's Peanut Butter Crunch, Lucky Charms, Honeycomb, or Sugar... uh, Corn Pops)in the place (which is rare), I usually have a bowl when I get home from work or before going to bed.
