Breakfast 2023

[Ann_T]

@blue_dolphin, avocado toast has never appealed to me until I saw yours. Love the idea of it topped with black beans and salsa.  

Baked rye bread last night and made Moe a smoked meat sandwich for breakfast.

Costco carries Schwartz's Montreal Smoked Meat. Six pouches in a box.  Makes wonderful sandwiches.

@Ann_T 

 

Wow !

 

extraordinarily good looking sandwich !

 

and 

 

Schwartz's Montreal Smoked Meat. Six pouches in a box. 

 

at Costco ?

 

wow.

 

Ive ben to Schwartz's  

 

several times in the ( memorable ) distant-is past.

 

i moved up to ' medium '  for the large plate 

 

and have survived.  

 

Ill bet the ' full ' plate was a lot better 

 

re: the amount of Hot Smoked Steamed Fat .

 

I only mildly regret 

 

asking for a 1/2 and Full   50:50

Crispy smashed potatoes with fried leberkaese topped with an egg.  

Mustard and tomatoes on the side.

[Ann_T]

Thanks @rotuts,  We ate at Schwartz's a number of times years ago.

Costco has been carrying Schwartz's now for two or three years.     So good.

 

Moe just wanted to toast for breakfast.

Sliced one of yesterday's baguettes.

 

If truth be told, this is the reason I bake bread.

@Ann_T – yes, that Boston Cream “Cruffin” was every bit as good as it looked.  The custard was REAL custard and the layers were perfect. 

 

@Anna N – that salmon cream cheese and the kielbasa are favorites around here!  Especially if we have pumpernickel in the house!

 

Yesterday:

 

Sausage, egg, and cheese muffin.

[kayb]

 Bacon, tomato and avocado sandwich and a coconut macaroon. Gluten free bread.

[weinoo]

Got a little industrious yesterday, and since it was freezing, turning on the oven served double duty.

 

 

The scones may not look beautiful, but they sure tasted fine.

[blue_dolphin]

Spinach, mushroom and cheese quesadilla with Rancho Gordo mantequilla beans topped off with Red Weapons

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

Breakfast this morning after a nasty weather day yesterday.

Soft scrambled eggs, sausage, leftover mushroom pilaf and mixed berries.

 

[rotuts]

@Senior Sea Kayaker 

 

looks very tasty

 

thank you for using the Pilaf.  

 

this opens up a few ideas for me :

 

I used to make basmati rice , in my 10 C fuzzy National // Panasonic 

 

rice cooker 

 

making ' Not Fried Rice '

 

quite delicious hot out of the Fuzzy 

 

w add-in both w cooking  and for a brief steaming after

 

the rice was cooked .

 

but with the idea of significant extras 

 

refrigerated , ( recycled yogurt containers , 2 Qt's  mostly filled )

 

out of the refrigerator  -- cold on a hot summer day .

 

or room temp , and tasty right then

 

using this deliciousness w Eggs and Sausage ?

 

on the ' Its not Pilaf '   idea 

 

thanks

 

no idea of what the '  Its not Risotto ' path may lead.

Ugly scones often taste the best.

eGullteers make such amazing Breakfast of Champions! I stick pretty close to eggs and bacon 😉
Red River cereal is a porridge that we like, but last year, the original company stopped making it!

In the fall, our national news CBC announced that Arva Flour Mill in Ontario picked up the "rights" to produce this porridge. I ordered immediately, and it took 3 months for the company to catch up on the massive number of orders! Our local Co-Op is supposed to stock the cereal this year, but I've got a good supply now! AS can be seen, I also ordered some bread mixes. Many will be gifts, but thought I'd like to try the corn bread and the Jalapeno & Cheddar version. Need to pick up beer!

I have some vacuum packed and in the freezer from 3-4 years ago!   Collector's item?

I still remember the big bag, maybe 20 lbs or more of Red River a thrifty friend picked up for us, many years ago. He was so happy as he picked it up at a much reduced price. It got weevils way before we even got thru' half. Now we know why it was so cheap! LOL! In the olden days, I didn't have a FoodSaver!

[blue_dolphin]

Pretty much a repeat of Saturday's breakfast. Smashed, roasted potatoes, topped with fried leberkase and an egg.  Mustard, tomatoes on the side. 

It was good on Saturday and it was good today!

 

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

Eggs with blistered tomatoes, hummus and marble rye.

 

[Kim Shook]

@weinoo – not ugly at all.  I love craggy scones – they hold more butter. 

 

@blue_dolphin – just found a source for leberkase here.  The place is new to me and I’m looking forward to going on Saturday!

 

Yesterday:

We found these bagels at Food Lion, oddly enough.  They are very small - just perfect size for Jessica and I for breakfast.  And they are loaded with ET seasoning and have good texture to boot!  

[blue_dolphin]

Found a couple of crumpets in back of the freezer that had been there for a while and looked like they might be a bit dry around the edges. Used them to make French toast, surely offending two nations with one breakfast 🙃 Sausage and a blood orange on the side.

Not bad.  Their slightly domed shape means the edges don't contact the pan on one side so I put them in the oven to avoid any sogginess.  One was enough.  Maybe there will be second breakfast later?

[Ann_T]

Moe's breakfast this morning was influenced by @PatrickT.

He mentioned yesterday making a grilled cheese sandwich on  his Rye Porridge Sourdough bread. 

 

I can probably count on two hands, with fingers leftover, the number of times I've made Moe a grilled cheese sandwich in almost 50 years. 

I've never cared for them so I never think to make them.

 

If I'm not home he will occasionally make himself just a cheese and onion sandwich.

So this morning I decided to make him a grilled cheese sandwich on yesterday's  Oatmeal bread.

 

I layered thin sliced red onion between layers of a nice cheddar.

[rotuts]

@Ann_T 

 

Wow !

 

congratulations !

 

you've found a cheese 

 

that fully understands 

 

its Purpose :

 

Its Ooze !

Ohh … I didn‘t see that before - Bauernfrühstück 🤗 

 

Where did you get the Leberkäse ?

A family from Germany started a small sausage business, YouBite, in my area. They have a retail shop but also sell at my local farmers market where I purchased it after learning about it from you. Carmen, one of the owners, recommended serving it this way.

OK I would be hard-pressed to find a sandwich I like better than cheese and onion although I very rarely choose to grill it. I was raised on cheese and onion ground together in a meat grinder and spread between slices of fresh white bread. But I wouldn't turn my nose up at Moe's breakfast. 

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

Two last breakfasts.

Mushroom, spinach and aged cheddar omelet (could of been a little less sloppy).

Egg, smoked salmon, tomato, greens with grainy mustard on a WW bagel.
