Breakfast this morning was 2 links of Andoullie sausage from Kramacurek's (sp) meats in Minneapolis Mn, the best andoullie i have ever eaten. 2 eggs over medium and a large glass of orange juice

[little ms foodie]

1/2 a grapefruit with sugar

I've been wanting to try something like this since Ling mentioned an omelette stuffed with ham and avocado. I didn't have any ham on hand, so I used salami and avocado in these scrambled eggs. MMM-mmm good.

Other than that, I've been on another kick for leftover rice with milk, Splenda, and raisins on it.

[Ling]

^That looks fantastic, Susan!

I was really hungry this morning, and my usual scrambled eggs weren't going to cut it, so I put 3 thick porkchops in the pan. 2 for me, 1 for the bf.

Waffles (sorry Chufi, no egg close-ups today)

[yushoe]

peanut butter cap'n crunch with milk!

[racheld]

Oven roasted Kielbasa with raspberry honey mustard, crisp bacon, omelet with broccoli and caramelized onion, sourdough tartines, cherry/strawberry preserves and some paper-thin slices from a 4x5x1 slice of smoked elk, gift from a friend from Bosnia...smoked it for two months in his smokehouse.

Senseo coffee and 5-Alive. Norah Jones on the CD player.

Percyn, you forced me to get my own egg-fix. Please don't do this to me again!

scrambled eggs with creme fraiche, chives and fake caviar. The 'caviar' is actually made from.. soy. I bought this to garnish blini at a dinnerparty. It tastes salty, fishy, and it made for good conversation at the dinnertable (we were honest about it ofcourse).

[percyn]

Chufi, your eggs look better, so I hesitate to post these... but since we have the day off today:

Soft scrambled eggs with maitake (hen of the woods) mushrooms and onion herb cream cheese

If you haven't tried these mushrooms in eggs, run to the store to get some. They are really deep woodsy flavor that goes great with scrambled eggs.

Classic Eggs Benedict w/smoked duck breast

I usually dont take pics of partially eaten food, but the yolks of the country eggs look so good, that I had to take this pic (thought the yolk in real life was a bit more golden/orange).

P.S: Chufi, I have heard about the soy based faux caviar, but not tried it. Does it "pop" like the real thing?

not really. That's why I also had trout eggs on the blini, becuase of the 'pop'factor. It looked absolutely smashing though, the pink and black together (as you can see here)

Chocolate Oblivion cake made by egulleter *Deborah*

omigod...so delicious!

[M. Lucia]

Percy's photo inspired me to make buttermilk waffles.

I was starving and they were so good (nice and fluffy thanks to whipped egg white).

Cooked up some sausage for my brekkie companion.

And snowangel, toast is my favorite too. My family has a slight obsession.

I prefer it done in the toaster oven though, butter added before toasting and to medium color.

I heard rumour you might have been eating that for breakfast! Colour me jealous.

Then again, I was able to enjoy a nice Nutella Croissant this morning at the new deli in Yaletown, accompanied by a very excellent americano. A perfect start to another gorgeous day in Lotusland

Guess what I had for breakfast today. Another chocolate cake. This one came from Japan, and was filled with some sort of liquor (rum?) soaked raisins. Very dense, nice and bittersweet--however, not quite as dense as Deborah's flourless chocolate cake. Heavenly! Also, I had chocolate rugelaches and jam and walnut rugelaches. (What is the plural for rugelach? Rugelachs?)

Was trapped indoors today due to a snow storm, so I decided to make breakfast for lunch !!

Scrambled eggs with baby bella mushrooms and parmesan

Always use some 1/2 and 1/2

Finished dish, with some smoked duck and chives

We made some really wonderful buttermilk bisuits yesterday morning. They had layers and layers of orange zest and sugar in them. Hot out of the oven with a pat of butter. YUM!!

[markovitch]

coffee.

breakfast of champions, yo

[mizducky]

Omelette sandwich (plain two-egg omelette between two slices of toasted whole-grain bread).

I am somewhat in awe of those of you who are awake enough at breakfast time to point and focus a camera.

LOL!

We had a real breakfast Sunday morning. We were staying with Russ's sister Judy who lives in Palm Bay, the Melbourne (FL) area. She served grapefruit that she went out and picked from her backyard, and then seeded and cut up; a nice homemade coffee cake called Cowboy Coffee Cake which they used to eat as kids; scrambled eggs; and "country ham" which was awesome. I forgot to take a picture when she served the ham and eggs, but here's the table she set for the meal.

Palm Bay is about an hour and a half south of here, so it was a little warmer than our area. It was a nice morning, but then we left and a terrible tornado hit her town. We are still waiting to hear from her.

Don't worry Suzi, I know exactly what you mean about yesterday's snow. Breakfast yesterday morning was a pot of coffee, a lb of bacon and 4 eggs sunnyside up. Sorry but when I'm faced with snow like yesterday, I need comfort

[Ling]

I baked some chocolate, pecan, cinnamon rugelach.

steak (or should I call it beef carpaccio? ) and eggs
