Hot, crispy, dipped in sugar and served with a thick chocolate sauce for dipping. Little one was delighted.

I received an unexpected gift of Wolferman's English muffins yesterday...

...toasted with almond butter and a cup-o-joe.  I cut the muffin into 3 slices so there's one more that could become second breakfast.

Breakfast yesterday: ginger, garlic, red onions, Belgian endive, baby bok choy were sautéed together and seasoned with tamari and fish sauce. A couple of eggs were scrambled separately and then added before a final drizzle of sesame oil. An excellent way to use up some vegetables that were beginning to cross the river.

This morning was spam ‘n’ egg with a toasted English muffin.

Despite the unseasonality of tomatoes I feel quite insecure without some in the house. As a result they often begin to slither towards compost before they get used. So once again some grape tomatoes went into the oven with garlic, salt and some olive oil and they enjoyed a long warm bath.
 

After I had eaten the last bite of these ones that were served on a toasted English muffin, I wanted more. Lots of tomatoes left but no more English muffins.  Damn.

I thought I had posted this Christmas morning breakfast, but it seems not.

 

A long standing tradition back in Britain last century was to have smoked Scottish salmon, but none of that here. Instead hot smoked sturgeon with its own wonderful caviar. Accompanied by champagne, of course.

Now that's a thing of beauty. We've often had bagels and lox on xmas morning but sturgeon and caviar is just plain heaven.

@blue_dolphin– I love Wolferman’s!  My mom’s best friend used to give them to everyone for Xmas and then I found them at a local grocery store.  When that store sold out to a national chain, they didn’t carry them.  I haven’t had one since and need to place an order!

 

Christmas Eve breakfast was a crumpet and some lemon curd that I made:

IMG_7705.thumb.jpg.76b44149060ba756c216988b5b009a67.jpg

 

Christmas day was our usual meal that everyone has seen over and over – my MIL’s “Candy Cane” sweet roll (which Jessica helped make this year – well, maybe personally observed would be a better description🙄😞

IMG_7736.thumb.jpg.71b97a0cc1b09227e89ea75684db7731.jpg

 

Bebo’s (my paternal grandmother) Fruit Salad:

Mini quiche Lorraine and John T’s sausage rolls:

 ET bagels and smoked salmon cream cheese:

Boxing day breakfast:

 IMG_7765.jpg.6a8cf761cddd6fc0f4b821b09dc96812.jpg

Crumpets and some surprisingly good Kroger strawberry preserves that had WHOLE strawberries in it. 

 

This morning was Christmas morning leftovers:

Marmite morning.

 

Marmite on toasted baguette washed down with Marmite "tea"*

* Just a teaspoon of Marmite in a cup of boiling water with a little freshly ground black pepper.

I just don't want to look back and think "I could have eaten that."

Unsupervised, rebellious, radical agrarian experimenter, minimalist penny-pincher, and adventurous cook. Crotchety, cantankerous, terse curmudgeon, non-conformist, and contrarian who questions everything!

The best thing about a vegetable garden is all the meat you can hunt and trap out of it!
