Breakfast 2021

[Kim Shook]

@blue_dolphin – thank you, ma’am!  Its just Duke’s mayo on the tomatoes.  To me, tomatoes just taste right with a little mayo mixing with their juices.  Those sardine and tomato toasts are gorgeous.  I’m a big fan of fishy brunches, so I’d love them!

 

Yesterday:

[Wait. Wot]

From the Tin Shed, Portland Oregon.

 

House-made buttermilk biscuit covered with apple-wood smoked bacon gravy, potato cake with sour cream and chives, scrambled eggs, and pork sausage.

Exactly my reaction when she said it!

I'm intrigued. My Scot great gran said (phonetically) Ware no chap, ware thrufty. As I child I had no idea what she was saying, but once I was literate, it became apparent. Warms my heart just to say it.

That plate was washed down with a bacon infused bloody mary that was garnished with a slice of bacon. The waiter commented on my consistency.

Have you tried the bacon  flavored vodka?

[shain]

Ricotta with homemade cherry preserve. A few pieces of grilled bread.

Yesterday, I made Connie & Maryanna's Chimichurri from the Zuni Cafe Cookbook and decided to follow the header note suggestion to fry eggs in it

Put a bit more of the chimichurri on top.  Very good. 

[Kim Shook]

@blue_dolphin - lovely looking breakfast - everything!  But that toast!!!  OMG  🥰  I am definitely a carboholic.

 

This morning:

Farmer’s market peaches and a bacon, egg, and Muenster on a toasted onion roll.

[blue_dolphin]

Beans on toast

Rancho Gordo Marcella beans tossed with pesto.  Tomato slices and pecorino Romano on the side.

[liuzhou]

Buttery muffins with even buttier scrambled eggs.

 

[Ann_T]

Moe requested Blueberry pancakes for breakfast. I made him giant pancakes using a crepe pan.

 

[blue_dolphin]

@shain's travels in Greece prompted me to buy a frozen spanokopita at Trader Joe's and fix myself a Greek-inspired plate this morning.

Sadly, it was very salty so I skipped the olives and feta.  

[Yiannos]

@blue_dolphin if you are ever in the Sacramento area, I can help you score some of the good stuff 😉

[Kim Shook]

@blue_dolphin – what was it that made it too salty?  It looks beautiful and perfectly cooked, so I hope you try again.

 

Saturday:

We’re already getting good pears this year!

 

Post church brunch at a favorite diner.  I had eggs Benedict:

I always have a hard time turning this down.  This was excellent – a really good hollandaise and perfectly poached eggs.  Mr. Kim had a pastrami and Swiss:

Which I would probably not have taken a chance on.  They call themselves a diner, but the vibe is really more café.  I would have been wrong.  It was surprisingly good.  Tender and juicy and such good flavor.  And we loved that it was a normal sized portion.  Neither of us care for those fist-sized gobs of meat between two puny pieces of rye. 

 

This morning:

Egg and bacon on an onion roll with a white peach.

It was a frozen item from Trader Joe's and most pre-made foods like that are saltier than I prefer.  Listed at 300 mg sodium/serving, it wasn't awful or inedible.  I just didn't want to accent it with even saltier things like the olives and feta. 

 

Today, I had a BLT+A

 

Yesterday's breakfast was something called Exceptional Scrambled Eggs from Alex Guarnaschelli's book Cook with Me.   It uses soy sauce to season the eggs and crème fraîche to add richness.  They tasted fine but the soy sauce turned them an unpleasant khaki color.  I should really post them in the regrettable foods topic but I'm too lazy to look for it, so here you go.  Squeamish types should look away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I nibbled on the toast for quite a while before I could make myself sample the eggs.  As I said, they taste fine but eeeeew - they don't look so good!

[nonblonde007]

@blue_dolphin   Here you go! 

 

[Kim Shook]

@blue_dolphin - Yes.  I see what you mean.  I'm not crazy about things that color my scrambled eggs - pesto, Worcestershire, tomato sauce - even cooking in bacon grease - tend to be out for me.  Yesterday and this morning are very similar breakfasts:

[liuzhou]

BLT baguette.

 

[liuzhou]

Another day; another breakfast.

 

 

Pork sausage, blood sausage, fried egg and fried tomato. There was toast on the side.

Wontons in chicken broth with chilli, garlic and lettuce. Finished with white pepper.

 

[Ann_T]

@liuzhou great looking BLT.

 

Made Shepherds Pie yesterday morning. Moe had his for breakfast and I took mine to work for lunch.

[Ann_T]

Toasted baguette with back bacon and sliced tomato.  

Tomatoes out of our garden. 

[Kim Shook]

@Ann_T – lovely Shepherd’s Pie! 

 

Saturday brunch at a local pharmacy lunch counter:

My bologna burger with perfectly grilled onions:

 

Mr. Kim had the Caesar salad wrap:
