Panaderia Canadiense - That looks like what I am now gong to have for dinner tonight!

The other morning I found I had a leftover grilled chicken thigh, so I made a faux "fried rice" using TVP (textured vegetable protein). I rehydrated the TVP with chicken stock and added some peas, corn, onion, water chestnuts, and a scrambled egg. Topped it all with crispy chicken skin and some sriracha.

Breakfast sandwich from a local joint.

Bacon, Ham, Cheese, Egg between Texas toasts - Heart-stoppingly good.

Could only eat half there and took the rest home. Side profile shot.

WOW Kate, now that looks good!

Was this picture taken in a lightbox?

Nah, I'm too lazy for such efforts - like all my pictures, this was just taken haphazardly on the edge of my countertop with my iPhone! Only difference was this was pre-dawn, so what you see are the full glare of the kitchen lights.

NICE sandwich too, sir.

... in a lightbox?

It looks more like a close encounter of the third kind (lighting-wise, I mean - the food looks delicious).

Hmmm, that may explain so very much..

That looks amazing. That bacon!

People look down on TVP, but ever since I did a 10 day survival course and basically ate nothing but TVP, I have a bit of a bent for it..think I'm going to get some this weekend, thanks!

Breakfast this morning was plain smoked salmon, on avocado and rye crackers, and a lot of black pepper:

RRO - Can't wait to see what you come up with!

[suzilightning]

yesterday: cheddar burger on an onion brioche bun with vidalia onion relish.

today: iced coffee so far but now i think it is time for a blt on potato bread. gotta go.........

[robirdstx]

This morning I had a two egg omelette with duck fat sauteed mushrooms and onion and a bit of grated manchego.

[percyn]

robirdstx, nice omelette.

Today I decided to use up some smoked BBQ Sausage (Chorizo, Hot and Mild sausage), so I paired it with:

Fried Egg

Scrambled Egg w/Parma Reserva

[Kim Shook]

percyn – it looks like they have stores in Yorktown and Williamsburg – not too far to go. I’d love to try those sausages.

RRO – I love the looks of that avocado and salmon breakfast!

Breakfast this morning for Mr. Kim:

an omelet with tomatoes, hot peppers, onions and cheese – nectarines on the side.

Mine:

Egg and bacon on toast. In the background is toast with the last of my beloved Little Scarlet strawberry preserves .

[percyn]

Kim, the BBQ sausage was from Jimmy's BBQ in Malvern, PA and as far as I know, they only have the one location (I could be wrong). However, many BBQ places make their own sausage, the best one I had was a jalapeno sausage in Austin, TX.

This morning, since I had some jumbo lump crab meat, I made Crab Eggs Benedict - with a schmear of bacon jam and sprinkled with smoked bacon salt.

[Kim Shook]

percyn - I should have been more specific - the sausage I was talking about was the pretzel sausage from farther back. BTW - that is one gorgeous poached egg!

[judiu]

Kim, I can't beleive you wen to England and didn't bring back Little Scarlett preserves!

[percyn]

Ahh...my error. When the weather cools, I can mail you some of those pretzel dogs if you like. I am sure one can make it at home, especially easy if you find pretzel dough.

The eggs I used were from an organic, open pasture farm and the yolks seems to be more orange and hold their shape better. Bought another dozen yesterday, lets see how the new batch turns out.

I know. I could have kicked myself when I got home! They are $17 a JAR at amazon and almost $10 at a specialty store an hour away.

That would be great, percyn - there is a store in Williamsburg (just 45 minutes east of us), so if we don't get there in the next month, or so I'll let you know. Thank you!

Sunday was Mr. Kim’s birthday! Breakfast was roasted white peach and cream cheese stuffed croissants French toast style with Benton’s bacon:

Topped with maple/caramel syrup:

I've made this with bananas and strawberries before - this was the first time I've used peaches and I think it was the best.

[Genkinaonna]

Ummm...so you're coming to make me breakfast for my birthday, right? Good. Just making sure!

[SobaAddict70]

Not the best picture ... had to use some less than perfect basil.

Greek yogurt, topped with diced heirloom tomatoes and summer squash.

Salt, pepper and some Umbrian extra-virgin olive oil to finish.

[heidih]

Tofu lightly browned in a dry skillet warmed with a caponata style prep I had in the fridge. The sauce contained very ripe homegrown tomatoes, Japanese eggplant also from the garden, serrano and habanero chiles (habanero halved for flavor and removed), onion, garlic, dried cranberries (no raisins in the pantry), fish sauce (no anchovies either), brined nasturtium seed pods (in lieu of capers) and a touch of red wine and balsamic vinegars. Topped it with some snipped Italian parsley and a few croutons. It really hit the spot with the contrasting flavors and textures.

[Kim Shook]

Genkinaonna – just tell me the date – I’ve always longed to see Oregon; everyone I know who has been has fallen in love with it.

Soba – that tomato and yogurt salad is one of the most beautiful things you’ve ever posted (and that’s saying something).

My mother was up last weekend looking at apartments – we ate out every meal except breakfast on Sunday, which was a repeat of Mr. Kim’s birthday breakfast since we are still getting really good stone fruit:

Roasted white peach stuffed croissant French toast, bacon and grapes.

Breakfast yesterday morning was eggs, sausage and biscuits. Mr. Kim’s plate:

I added a tomato biscuit to my plate:

This morning was basically the same meal before hitting the yard with rakes, brooms and a chain saw. Irene blasted through last night and left us with a huge tree limb through our shed roof, but nothing else, thank goodness! Hope everyone in her path here at eG can say the same!

Toad in a Hole w/Prosciutto Reserva

[threestars]

As much as I want to post the breakfast that I eat everyday, it is just all oatmeals or cereals everyday. Thinking of something to spice it up a little bit.

[Genkinaonna]

Threestars, if it makes you feel any better, I had an oscar meyer hot dog and coffee for breakfast today...surely not the stuff of eGullet fame...

[threestars]

Thanks that's one delicious breakfast right there... Well I think I'd stick with oatmeal and cereals for now. Might look for oatmeal recipe around to try.

[C. sapidus]

When life hands you leftovers, make an omelette. In this case, an omelette with garlic-black bean long beans, fish sauce, and Gorgonzola cheese.

Yeah, that was a strange combination - even for me. Hit the spot, though.

[agaronthefloor]

crab cake benny with a smoked tomato and tarragon holly sauce....sooooooooooooooo good
