[blue_dolphin]

Today's breakfast was one of the Mango Coconut Chia popsicles I posted over here in the popsicle thread.

I'm drooling over those white peaches, blue_dolphin.

They're really, really good.  Such a wonderful floral fragrance.  I bought some at the local farmers' market last week, intending to make a small batch of white peach and lemon verbena preserves to try out the recipe but I kept eating them and the preserves have not been made.  I'll have to try again this week!

[liuzhou]

Hard boiled chicken's egg. Toasted olive and chia seed bread (home made).

 

[HungryChris]

Poached eggs, sautéed sugar snaps, onions and zucchini with English Muffin. The zucchini was so good, I finished it up with seconds.

Toasted ciabatta bun with gruyere and Suvir's tomato chutney. 

[blue_dolphin]

Toasted multigrain bread, peanut butter, banana and hot honey.  Black coffee.

Since "Sugar = Satan" these days, I'm not sure I should be adding more to my breakfasts but that hot honey is tasty stuff!

[rotuts]

if that's peanut butter under those bananas, it would be something Elvis would have enjoyed.

 

Honey not the same as sugar, as Im sure you know.

[blue_dolphin]

Yes, @rotuts, there is indeed peanut butter under the bananas.  

And I do know a little honey isn't all that bad - just questioning my adding it since plain old PB & B has always been just fine !

[kayb]

@rarerollingobject, that grilled cheese is a thing of beauty. I want one. Now.

""   I mixed up the honey, cayenne, freshly grated ginger and lime zest (omitting the garlic from the recipe for now) and used it to anoint my croissant.  Nice. ""

 

indeed nice.

 

I followed my father as he used to get honey  ( real honey ) in a can, I think 3 lbs or 5 lbs and it lasted forever.

 

Ill have to look into this.

 

or Ill discuss honey with my Buds at TJ's re the real deal.

 

i wish i knew where to get those Old Time Cans of the real deal honey.

 

Might check your local farmers' market. Several of our area beekeepers sell their honey there, in half-pints, pints and quarts. I tend to buy it a quart at a time because I use a fair amount of it. They also have local honey at the local organic foods store (like a baby Whole Foods, but better quality and lower prices), that one can dispense (warm!) from a big vat into pint or quart containers. I do that a lot as well.

Simple two-egg mushroom omelette. 

I made a two egg mushroom omelet that my wife and I split this morning.  We had a bigger one this past weekend 

[HungryChris]

I threw together  ratatouille kind of thing with zucchini, onions, sliced Campari tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, fresh chopped basil, salt and pepper and a dash or two of hot sauce. It started off as an after thought, but turned into a pleasant main event that I will do again soon. I only wished I had a piece of toast to mop up the last of it.

Egg salad on multigrain toast with crumbled bacon.  Fresh veg.

glad to see the HotSauce has returned.

 

I was begining to wonder.

When I wear the hat of a photographer, I have a different perspective that may overlook the hot sauce, but when I have fork in hand, wearing my trencherman's hat, I am suddenly keenly aware of anything that might be missing and quickly correct it.

[rotuts]

I don't have a sweet tooth    i have a 'tart tooth'

 

and I like green sauce over red.  not of course anything with Green Bells  

 

if you can find it, try some Green tabasco sauce.

 

only for the Bold and exceptionally well informed Palates .

@blue_dolphin  looks wonderful.  I'm a sucker for egg salad.  I'm a closet mayo lover.  Not really, I freely admit It to mayo haters.  Must be a southern thing

I love green sauces too.

If you also like smoke, try this....it's real good!

Scott Roberts' review.

[liuzhou]

My generosity knows no bounds. Not only am I going to pictorially share my breakfast with you, but also give you a recipe. It is a little complicated, so pay close attention.

 

 

First take one banana and one slice of bread. (I used a home made loaf with chia seeds, but any decent bread is OK. Even cheap supermarket garbage bread is better than no bread - maybe.)

You may at this point add butter or your preferred grease to the bread. I find it unnecessary. Skin the banana and de-thread the flesh if thready it be.

 

Using a fork, mash banana onto the bread in an even coating.

 

 

Eat and repeat.

 

Serve with strong black coffee.

Made another ratatouille type thing with zucchini,  onions, Campari tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, fresh basil and salt and pepper. I had it with toast this time to aid in the plate cleanup. Surprisingly satisfying.

Toast the bread, preferably in the Cuisi steam toaster oven.
You may at this point add butter or your preferred grease (tahini on one slice, peanut butter on the other) to the bread. I find it unnecessary (I don't). Skin the banana and de-thread the flesh if thready it be.

Using a fork, mash banana onto the bread in an even coating. Slice the banana and arrange the slices on the toast.  Drizzle with hot honey.

Eat and repeat.

Serve with strong black coffee.

No. What a load of faff.

Simplicity is the new sophisticated, don't you know?

And no one but no one eats peanut excrement any more. Didn't you get the Twitter tweet?

You can refer to the hot honey as "faff" all you want but lay off my PB - no way am I giving that up!

[shain]

@HungryChris Funny how your breakfast is so similar to my lunch.

 

My breakfast, was a single ugly toast with peanut butter and home made grape conserve.

[kayb]

Y'all, don't be hatin' on peanut butter. In fact, if you want some primo peanut butter, try this kind. My personal favorite is the honey vanilla flavor.

 

Full disclosure: It's my kids' business. Still damn good peanut butter.

I go through peanut butter peaks and troughs. I skipped breakfast today, but yesterday was lightly toasted walnut bread with butter and cloudberry jam, and a tea rather than a coffee because I was running late

 

I love the breakfast inventiveness here, I always get inspiration from it
