Egg, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes. Toast and Marmite. Just like God intended.

Yesterday I made American style pancakes. Much thicker and creamier batter than standard pancakes. Making, surprisingly, a thicker pancake. Eaten with maple syrup. Nom.

The usual two 'nanas, chunks of pineapple, a bowlful of oats, homemade yogurt, honey and moo-juice - all szhooshed-up with a blender - making almost a litre of liquid frankenporridge, or lumpie (as opposed to smoothie) depending on how you look at it. I'll often substitute strawbs or raspberries for the 'napple when they're in season. Used to make my own ultramuesli involving pistachios, pecans and berries too (which I could eat all day long) but it's just too expensive nowadays.

And a gallon of Assam/Breakfasty tea.

Homemade bread:
1 lb organic bread flour (50/50 white and wholemeal) - well actually it's 15oz as I added substituted 1oz for various seeds (see below)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1.5 teaspoons yeast, activated with half pint warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar
1 table spoon linseeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
beaten egg (from my chickens) wash and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds on top.

Served with homemade plum jam (plums from neighbour).

Only one loaf for breakfast?

Can you actually taste the olive oil or is it just for texture? We love bread soaked in olive oil - not sure it would go with plum jam though!

Cup of tea before short but v cold pedal, usual 4 Weetabix with lots of hot milk and brown sugar on return.

Texture - you can't taste it. Not that I'm particularly convinced it makes much difference to the texture either....

Pre-breakfast conversation this morning:
"What's for breakfast?"
"I'm going to make some porridge but you can have something different if you want."
"Have we got any jaffa cakes?"
You'll have to try harder than that! (In fact I didn't make porridge, I had eggses all dlembcars up and he made himself a bowl of cereal).

clarion · « **Reply #109 on:** 15 February, 2012, 01:44:16 pm »

Breakfast is usually a bowl of porridge made with water, with a teaspoon or two of honey stirred in. A cup of tea beside it.

If I have anything else - for example, the Sainsbury's cereal I've been buying, or toast & honey - I should have my wrist slapped.

Jakob · « **Reply #110 on:** 16 February, 2012, 01:20:51 am »

Usually a 2 egg omelet/fritatta made the night before, with either a small handful of sausage or crispy bacon.

Just out of curiousity, do you make your porridge with water because you prefer the taste or because of an ethical avoidance of milk? Or maybe it's both or neither?

clarion · « **Reply #112 on:** 16 February, 2012, 08:58:31 pm »

Bit of both. I used to use milk, but when I was a vegan I stopped, and realised the porridge tasted just as good. Of course, I didn't have honey in it back then. May come a time when I don't again.

Oh - and I should have my wrist slapped. I had porridge and toast this morning

DrMekon · « **Reply #113 on:** 16 February, 2012, 09:16:11 pm »

1/3rd oatbran, 1/3rd ready brek, 1/3rd oats, with sweetened soya milk. I eat them cold, in a thick slurry. I often eat it for lunch and dessert too. It is delicious.

I had what I always have. Two cups of coffee and no fags.

Today's porridge, kindly made for me by my wife, had strawberries, blueberries and diced mango in it. Hmm. A bit sweet for my tastes. Blueberries are fine in porridge, as are raspberries, but strawberries and mango can consider themselves crossed off my list of acceptable porridge adjuncts.

Banana flavoured Rego and coffee - I'm on liquids/soft stuff for another 24hrs until my new crown has settled.

I could absolutely murder a steak ...

I have learned that it's good to use 60ml of olive oil (4tbs in 20th c. units) in wholemeal loaves(a bit under 1kg), with lots of seeds, in the breadmaker. It's not for taste (try a different oil to see). "Texture" seems to be the wrong label for 'it's fine when it's freshly baked, but you should have put preservatives in it to stop it drying out after a couple of days'.

Fresh bread for breakfast is one of life's great pleasures.

But so is porridge.

Cornflakes topped with fresh strawberry pieces, which were dredged with caster sugar then topped with single cream and served with milk. Orange juice.

This morning I had shredded wheat with hot milk. The late Danny Blanchflower would have been proud.

Pancakes this morning - left over batter from last night.

They were YUM.
