Breakfast 2025

[Ann_T]

Yesterday's and today's breakfasts for Moe.

Yesterday I made him penne in a tomato basil sauce with Italian sausage.

And today was a beef dip sandwich with homemade fries.

 

 

[C. sapidus]

Merguez sausage, sliced Napa cabbage, and "super-spicy" kimchee, flavored with gochujang and doenjang, then finished with feta cheese and over-easy eggs. Sometimes it is nice to start the day with a breakfast that makes your nose run.

 

Yolk contained:

 

 

Yolk running free:

Toast with Gorgonzola and pears with a sprinkle of toasted walnuts, thyme leaves and a drizzle of hot honey

 

I was debating between toasts, like this, or a grilled cheese version.  Maybe that will happen another day soon.

Pear + Gorgonzola + nuts is a great combo in salads or just for snacking!

i'm not usually much of a breakfast eater, but a friend offered to buy me breakfast this morning because I was driving us to a late morning event. So off we went to At Sara's Table at Chester Creek Cafe in Duluth, MN. For a full perusal of their offerings I recommend visiting their website. The main thing to know is that they focus on good food, locally grown where possible, organically grown (ditto), prepared to order. A sign near the entrance notes that "Good food takes time to prepare". That said, I think our plates were delivered about 15 minutes after we ordered.

 

Here's a small selection of shots from their menus...and I do mean "small" selection because there's a lot to peruse. You can always skip down if you don't want to read them.

 

 

 

 

"Peanut butter mocha" below brought me up short, but hey -- I didn't have to try it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the section from which I ordered:

 

 

I ordered the Florentine Eggs Benedict, and I'm glad I did. Normally those things called English Muffins make me flinch -- I don't like their flavor or texture -- but these had been grilled and crisped in such a way that they supported the stacked food and absorbed the sauces when cut and dredged through the sauces and egg yolk. This is how it arrived at the table:

 

 

Look at the beautiful shape of those poached eggs! And I missed the fact when I ordered that the greens were both spinach and basil in a pesto form. The first bite informed me. It was inspired, I tell you.

 

 

The sauce photo isn't quite as crisp as the as-plated photo, but I want you to see how it all blended together for dredging.

 

My friend ordered eggs over easy and one of the locally-produced sausages, but I forgot to take a picture of his plate. We both had their house coffee (mocha java) without extras.

 

The place has books all over ("available for adoption for a small fee!") and a relaxed vibe, though customers aren't encouraged to linger when the line is as long as it was today. I don't go out to eat often these days, but I think I'll have to make a point of visiting Sara's more often than once every 5 years.

@Smithy, you had me at Poached Pears and Proscuitto Salad, the first food item on the list.

But, I agree, that Florentine Eggs Benedict was absolutely tops . . . and that's without even tasting it!

Having spent most of my adult British life in England, I have no idea what ' English muffins' are. Nor English peas or cucumbers.

I had planned on grilling these steaks for dinner last night, but neither of us felt like a big dinner. 

 

Moe had a steak for breakfast.

Grill steak, butter basted local farm fresh eggs, fried potatoes and mushrooms and toasted homemade bread.

Haven’t been shopping, right ?

 

[rotuts]

Tesco has the peas , but they are calling them British these days.

Not in England for the last thirty years, no! As I'm sure, you know. Not in Tesco's for longer.

 

I am however aware of the increasing number of Americanisms creeping into British English. I remain unapprised to what is English about them.

 

Nul points.
