Breakfast 2020!

[blue_dolphin]

Today's breakfast was the Warm Squash and Chickpea salad that I shared over here in the Salad topic. 

[blue_dolphin]

Caramelized Onion, Coconut and Egg Curry served over Caramelized Onion and Jeera Rice, both from Meera Sodha's Made in India.  Grilled Broccoli with Chile and Garlic from Ottolenghi on the side. 

Per the recipe, the eggs are supposed to be folded into the sauce before serving, but I wanted to see the pretty yolks.

Two Eggs (over medium), Bacon, Hash Browns and a Biscuit ~ JJ’s Cafe, Rockport

Hot multi-grain cereal with gingery pears, topped with toasted walnuts, diced candied ginger and a drizzle of cream

The pears were the Poached Asian Pears with Black Peppercorns from Everyday Korean.  I used half poaching liquid/half water to cook the oatmeal.

@robirdstx– that breakfast is just classic!  Love the looks of the hashbrowns especially.

 

A few recent breakfasts:

Eggs, sausages, and lemon filled paczki. The sausages were a little disappointing.  I grew up eating Jones Little Pork Sausages.  They came raw, frozen, and cased.  When cooked, they had a very smooth surface and were really flavorful and peppery.  They still make them, but are only stocked by stores on the other side of the river.  In other words, our Wegmans and Publix don’t stock them, but southside Wegmans and Publix do.  Sigh.  I guess I’ve become a real Richmonder, because the idea of crossing the river just to buy sausage seems crazy to me.  So when I found Simple Truth house brand raw sausages at Kroger, I got interested.  Not the same, though.  No casing and the flavor wasn’t the same.  At least, as far as I could taste it wasn’t. 

 

Another:

I have seemingly lost my hard cooked egg shelling mojo.  The last half dozen I’ve peeled have ended up all torn up.  The spoon trick has failed me repeatedly.  And they were fairly elderly eggs, too😟. 

 

Today:

A regular and mini chocolate croissant from Lidl.  Pretty good for a commercial bakery.

It does.  And I did.  Looks a little like a snout actually!

Who is the food writer who talked about her piano teacher sitting on the bread w/ chocolat during the lesson to get it just perfect? I have never forgotten that.

Two breakfasts.

 

Made Moe a Schwartz's Montreal Smoked Brisket sandwich on homemade rye for breakfast this morning.

 

Yesterday's breakfast.

Toasted baguette with back bacon and tomatoes.

French toast, maple syrup and SPAM

[Ann_T]

Moe's breakfast. Scrambled egg served with the leftover roast beef and gravy.

 

This is one of his favourite breakfasts.

Served with small slices of toasted baguette.

Nothing beats Mett for breakfast ...

Compared to the lovely homemade pizzas that keep appearing this should probably be posted in the Gallery of Regrettable Food. But sometimes life dictates that we must settle.

That lovely serving board would make a blob of canned dog food look tasty.  Isn't their work just stunning?  Ann and Mo are true artists.

Indeed they are. Thanks for noticing. Not that I was trying to make anyone notice. 😂

I'd happily eat that. Not the board!

Century eggs, rice. After taking the picture, I ruined it looks by slicing the eggs and applying a sauce of ginger, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and light soy sauce.

I have some leftover sauce, so maybe I'll make a congee next.

Cheddar cheese, sautéed spinach & onion, scrambled egg and diced country ham wrapped in a Staffordshire oatcake (more on the oatcakes over here😞

Tomato wedges and tomato chutney on the side.

I suspect you will see more of these oatcakes in the coming days as I have rather a lot of them!

Fried Egg with Chorizo from José Andrés book Made in Spain 

The technique for cooking is interesting as it's fried in a little bath of smoking hot garlic-infused oil so it doesn't spread out and has more the shape of a poached egg but crispy around the edges.
Sharing the plate are a pile of  roasted mushrooms with garlic and rosemary and a piece of onion & goat cheese topped focaccia.

I did roasted mushrooms yesterday for breakfast but knew something was missing - rosemary! And it is right outside kitchen door!
