Breakfast! The most important meal of the day (2004-2011)

[Ktepi]

Very nice Bill. Did you add any spices to the okra and tomato mixture?

Just a little Louisiana hot sauce -- I fried the bacon, dumped out most of the bacon grease and fried a little onion in what was left, and then added the okra, tomatoes, and a shake of hot sauce, and simmered for 15 minutes.

Bill, the okra and tomatoes look so delicious.

Thank you Mr. McDonald! Egg mcmuffin, please.

Fresh dragonfruit.

Oh my! This looks really good! I've never heard of dragonfruit. I'll have to google to see what it tastes like.

[nonblonde007]

Thats just beautiful! What is the flavor?

[Prawncrackers]

Ktepi, you should've taken a photo of the outside of the fruit and it's beautiful dragon's scales. I think the flavour is reminiscent of mild kiwi fruit, less tart though.

stuffed french toast...

Tada!

Kiwi-ish sounds right to me -- the combination of sweet, mild, wet, and refreshing reminds me of melon, too, especially since there's a little bit of crispness to the texture.

This was the first dragonfruit I've had. My ex spent a year in China, and became addicted to dragonfruit and mangosteens but has had little luck with them here -- the dragonfruits she finds are too often over-ripe, and the mangosteens are "buggy." But I was exploring Battambang Market in Lowell, Mass., and they looked gorgeous and weren't too expensive for tropical fruit ($3.50 for this one).

This thread makes me drool. I think it's time to have a dim sum breakfast.

[nonblonde007]

Mmmmmmmmmmm.......french toast!

How can there be evil in a world where Bacon exists!!!!

[Tri2Cook]

Didn't waste time with a pic, just thought I'd put in my entry for the most boring breakfast among all of these really tasty looking breakfasts. Summer is the time I add lots of road cycling and racing triathlons to my list of things to do which means finding more time for training (I bike, run and swim year-round but have to up the intensity and frequency during spring and summer) and keeping the weight in check so I had a flax bagel w/ homemade (not by me) raspberry jam, a banana and a cup of earl grey.

And that is some mighty fine looking bacon.....Mmmmmm. What kind is it?

[nonblonde007]

Fresh from the neighbors Pig! Loaded with pepper. Delish!

[percyn]

Very fresh = very delicious

[Shelby]

My first breakfast picture

We buy eggs from a lady up the road--so fresh and good!

[nonblonde007]

Oh Shelby, that makes me want breakfast for dinner!

[nonblonde007]

Sometimes, it's all about the grits......

Sorry for the lighting, my flash isn't working properly. (sounds like a good excuse to finaly replace this old camera! )

[Lisa1349]

Shelby: Welcome to breakfast! The tomatoes look delish.

Brenda: I love that the amount of butter on the grits = the size of the yolk on the egg next to it.

Coming in September: breakfasts from our NEW kitchen when we upgrade from a tiny apartment to our first house!

[C. sapidus]

Shelby: Welcome to breakfast – yum!

Brenda: Now that looks like a more traditional Southern spread.

We took the day off work and had a family day out and about. For fuel, I made an omelet with a big dollop of chile-tamarind paste, coconut milk, shallots, garlic, fish sauce, and cilantro. Sent me off with a warm glow.

[nonblonde007]

Thank you Bruce, the locals are teaching me a thing or two. I now Love grits loaded with butter and pepper!

Just seeing your food sends me off with a "warm glow".

Just lovely and perfect as expected.

Lisa, Must we wait until Sept.? *picture big puppy dog eyes here*
