Breakfast! 2016 (Part 1)

[Anna N]

 

, Ham, egg and a toasted English muffin.  So good!  Early morning appointments can definitely work up  an appetite. 

[kayb]

This morning (no photo; can never remember to take pics in the mornings!), steel-cut oats cooked with dates, sweetened with a bare teaspoon of maple syrup. Warm stuff on a cold, rainy day.

Sunny-side egg. Chorizo. Stone-ground grits from somewhere deep in the heart of Tennessee.

 

I said to myself, as I was taking this picture for the Infatuation instagram, I wish I had ring molds so the eggs would come out perfectly round.

 

But Sig Eater likes her eggs over easy, and I like them as pictured. And I make them in the same pan, at the same time, so some dissection is

required.  

 

Anyway, I open one of my kitchen drawers, and there are 2 ring molds in there! Next time.

Weinoo, I think that you breakfast looks delicious. And I think your egg looks the way an egg is suppose to look.

 

Moe wanted just a couple of pieces of toast as a pre-breakfast before heading over to the workshop.

This will keep him going until he gets home for a real breakfast.

Ann - if I had bread like that, I think I'd just eat toast and butter for every meal.  

 

Breakfast this morning:

Had some nice Camparis and couldn’t resist.  This was about the only breakfast that my mother could talk me into eating when I was a little girl and it is still a favorite when I have good tomatoes!

[Ann_T]

Thanks Kim.  And I would be happy with your breakfast.  Toast and tomatoes is my favourite breakfast.   Just with salt and pepper though. 

 

Used up the roast beef from last night's dinner.

 

Made Moe his favourite - Roast Beef with au jus served with scrambled egg and toast.

 

And my favourite leftover roast beef sandwich - Beef Dip. I added a little homemade horseradish to the sandwich.  

[HungryChris]

1/4 begal and cream cheese, orange supremes and an espresso. I intend to try my hand at making lox in the next few days. That would make a nice complement here.

Nice looking bread, Liuzhou!

What is on your bagel in addition to the cream cheese?  Pickles?  Zucchini?

Anna,

Pickled zucchini and onions and capers, yes. The pickles are something that takes a few minutes to make.I have come to use them in salads, sandwiches and as sides. They keep a nice little crunch. I am just about ready for another batch.

I realise that for a lot of people this would be a big pile of Nope, and especially for breakfast, but Esoteric Seafood Spelunking is kind of my happy place, so...look at these storm clams! Bigger than the palm of my hand. From Cloudy Bay in NZ. So beautiful.

 

Chopped up with raw oysters, prawns, octopus, calamari and spring onions, mixed into a rice-flour based pancake batter and fried in duck fat, into haemul pajeon - crispy Korean seafood pancakes, with a soy/sesame oil and pear juice dipping sauce.

Apologies for following the last post from RRO with this.

 

Baked beans from a can with buttered toast. Well, at least the bread was home made.

 

 

 

[Anna N]

My, my @liuzhou. You might have uncovered the source of my dislike of beans!  Beans on toast made far too many appearances on the table in the late 50s. Right up there with spaghetti (from a can) on toast. Did not evoke even a hint of nostalgia.  But enjoy.

Same for me. I hated the canned spaghetti back then, too. Yet, I do eat beans on toast about once a year. With lots of black pepper.

Ham and egg on toasted home-made Pullman loaf with HP sauce front and centre for dipping

Moe's Breakfast this morning.

 

Local sausage and farm fresh eggs.

[blue_dolphin]

It's nice to be back home after another week in Houston as wheelchair pusher/prescription fetcher/medical scribe/hotel kitchenette chef/cheerleader/etc. for a dear relative of mine.  

I seem to be lacking a few pantry staples but there were 2 slices of sourdough in the freezer that I toasted and slathered with some of the ginger butter that Anna N called out in the Recipes That Rock thread.   Found a cara cara orange in the fridge to go with.  No photo because I overly blackened the toast but that ginger butter is a keeper!

[liuzhou]

 

Toast with blood sausage.

 

The bread is home made (by me). The sausage (宜州血肠 yí zhōu xiě cháng) is home made (by a neighbour).

[HungryChris]

Begal with cream cheese and homemade gravlax.

I saw a Pesto and Egg Baguette Sandwich on the kitchn the other day and thought it sounded good.   My variation - toasted ciabatta with green chile adobo and egg:

[rarerollingobject]

Sick today and working from home, so I made pure carb coma comfort food; ddeokbokki. Chewy, sticky Korean rice cakes simmered with sliced fish cakes in LIQUID FIRE (which is to say gochujang chilli paste, gochugaru chilli flakes, sugar, garlic, soy sauce and sour green plum syrup until thickened). And lots of green onion and roasted sesame seeds.

 

SO hot that I've temporarily stopped being light in the head from sickness, and am now light in the head from gochujang buuuuuuuuurn.
