That reminds me of a story I read long ago in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

They were interviewing a man who was celebrating his 100+ birthday. The reporter asked him, "What is the secret to your long life?" The man replied, "A pint of bourbon and five cigars everyday."

Mick you are good at MAN food, you know hearty and tasty with presentation not overly important. Not that it doesn't look nice. Please give me a ladder to get out of this hole.

I like tea. I have a few varieties on hand and stress if I seem to be running out of any one of the. I also hate it that regular supermarkets don't stock anything above the run of the mill brands, but that's just me. I don't like to have to go to specialty shops as they're either rare or hard to get to. Rant over.

The brussle sprout dish of which Pixlefixed describes would be awesome topped with some over easy eggs. Red Flannel Hash, Corned beef hash topped with eggs over easy..divine. Meusli...More or less the Euro version of Granola..they're all in the same family..good stuff. Yogurt of any kind=tasty. I like mine in Kefir form best lately with honey. Yes....coffee is pretentious anymore..just go to one of the 100 Gajillion corner coffee chain shops(No Names please) and see for yourself...But....I am a biased tea drinker and when I do indulge in coffee it's one of two ways...Iced vanilla latte or hot with cream n sug in a diner mug. As for fat grease and cholesterol.......I'm a fan. Nuff said. I'm havin McCanns Irish oats with a dash of Vanilla this morning and hot tea. Have a good breakfast whatever you like.........Attachment 136775

Love the decorations on that bowl Steph, but why is the spoon on the left? Are you a Southpaw?


Mick

I know it is breakfast time somewhere!

Here is mine, Day lily buds and sunny side up eggs. I was going to make 2 eggs for my wife and I but she didn't like the idea of lillys so I had to eat 4. I didn't picture the toast. [With butter.]



Tim

Tim, how were the lillies?

Mick

everyone has to have a skill, and you are welcome, don't think my compliment was unwarranted though after the "stew" episode.

There is just no way to take a pretty photograph of stew!

I whole heartedly agree...Chicharrones are Bueno !!!!

They then caught their 3 year old son walking down the rows picking away.

A sprout stealing sprat do doubt !

Well yes, but it was really because it was the best placement at the time for the Pic. That Bowl is part of my favorite or best Hobbit dishes, I have two plates and two bowls( I am only geared for two at my table on Purpose). It is called Midnight Willow made by Churchill Co. exclusive for Cost plus world market stores. Churchill makes the more famous Blue and Red Willow which you can find all over the web. They been makin it for years. My Grandmother had the Red. Very classic and old school. That's me....old school.

Good luck with that stew picture. :-)
