Second and third shifts in our computer operations division used to cook up a storm in their 70th floor lunch room. We used to have a lot of heavy weight staff with nicknames like Big Bird and the Penguin.

BT, You'd have enjoyed breakfast at my Grandpa's on a Saturday morning. It usually started with Sugar Smacks, or bread, soaked in milk and sprinkled with sugar, followed by Eggs made in a poaching pan, with the little cups well lubricated with butter, and either pancakes, or waffles with sausage. If it was pancakes, Grandpa would bring them in while singing - "Pancakes are delicious, pancakes are so fine, I outta know, cause I like 'em so, that I eat 'em all the time."

And I was so ridiculously skinny back then. I wonder if I ate that breakfast every Saturday, if I'd be skinny again.

All I know is that food was good at Granpa's, no matter which meal was taking place. He's the guy who introduced me to delicacies like pickled pigs feet, head cheese, thin sliced roast beef (that he roasted) for sandwiches, things like that. My Dad gave me raw hot dogs to snack on, or a chunk of colby or cheddar cheese, or a stick of pepperoni (that's right, a whole stick!", and great foods like that. He also made lots of flap jacks, and fried eggs, two slices of french toast with a slice of Velveeta melted between them, and good things like that.

I was a well fed, skinny kid. Those were the days, my friend.

Breakfast this morning was a frozen half banana, with a half cup of frozen mango chunks, blended with one cup milk, one cup of water, with a bit of ginger and nutmeg thrown in, and low-carb protien meal replacement powder. Instant sherbet. Tastes great and full of good things. I did cheat and eat a small slice of liverwurst, just because I felt like it was the right thing to do.

Fish eye (large pearl) tapioca pudding with heavy cream today, 1 1/2 grilled cheddar cheese with onions sandwiches yesterday. Hope Mayor Mike doe not hear about my breakfast sins. I try to compensate by skipping lunch.

When I was a small child, my mother was making tapioca pudding. My sister told me they were 'fish eyes.' To this day I refuse to even try and taste it. And when I make fish stock with a fish frame, I have to close my eyes when I put the frame in the pot. The idea of haivng fish eyes cooking in my pot just turns my stomach.

My sister also told me that damsel flies (dragon flies) would sew my mouth shut. I spent the whole summer keeping my mouth wide open so it wouldn't get sewn shut. I obviously had a very tramatic childhood.

My sister used to tell me asparagus were elephant pimples and that if you stand under a Jacaranda tree and a flower falls on your head you become really clever. I spent hours under bloody Jacaranda trees!
And my brother! Always waking me up to find the "horse's keys"
I have issues over that lol!

I just looked up the differences between butter and grapeseed oil. Aside from the cholesterol, I save one calorie if I use butter and I won't have to salt my egg. So that's 299 calories, not 300

You are offering some great tip ideas for breakfast for me too! Thanks!! Egg yolks give me an awful gut ache but I do love egg whites. I have been trying to keep my meals around 300 calories.

This morning I had a 1/2 pkg. of nature valley granila bars & 1/2 container of raspberry, low fat chobani greek yogurt, & a decaf. coffee with cream. I am suprised how it filled me up. Off to the pool now.

Home made onion bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon.

2 eggs, scrambled, no milk/cream added, but I did add 1 jalapeno pepper, diced.

I actually had the chance to make breakfast this morning. Bacon first, though for some reason the griddle smoked me out of the kitchen. I didn't do the egg on the griddle in the bacon fat because of the smoke, so I just did those in a pan with butter. Home made bread for toast.

We had the maple wood smoked bacon this morning.

 

[CWS4322]

I've got this in the works, minus the bread. I'm using homemade tomato sauce.

This is how my version of the recipe turned out. It was very good.
