New Year. New Topic

 

This being the oneth of January, I gave myself the same breakfast I've had every year on this date since forever. A simple bacon sandwich. No L or T, although I have both. Washed down with a glass of bubbly.

Unfortunately, no artisans were involved. Regular supermarket bacon, cooked till crisp. Just how I like it.

Looks good liuzhou. 

For my New Years breakfast I had one egg, pan scrambled with green onions and a tiny drop of soy sauce, placed on a seeded sourdough toasted slice. OJ and a cup of tea… lovely start to the year.

Having just gotten home last night from my monthly visit to NS, I started the day/year very happily with my usual oatmeal after not having it for a week or so.

Breakfast on a chilly morning. A couple of slices of buttered WW toast (not pictured - you know what toast looks like!) and a cup of Bovril. This iconic beef extract made into a drink was actually invented in Canada in the 1870s, albeit by a Scottish man, John Lawson Johnston. He returned to the UK and sent Bovril out into the wider world.

I did, a long time ago, find a Chinese knock-off version called Baoril. It wasn't a bad replica.

Today's was the real deal, imported via Hong Kong.
