What's for Breakfast, Tuesday, August 6, 2019

[PJMcK]

I'll try to cover this thread for our friend, Irisblue, during her travels.

This morning, I'll have coffee with 1% milk. Then orange juice and water with the meds, (some breakfast!).

When I get to my office, I'll have a toasted bagel with a bit of butter and an apple.

I've got a major business lunch planned so I'm looking forward to that!

1. Thanks, PJ!

Will think of Dad's b'fast in the City, coffee, milk, sugar, o.j., Kaiser roll, butter!

Me? Coffee/Milk/Sugar, Toast/butter.

2. How come you and I are still up at this hour?! (n/t)

[elleng]

3. I'm retired, and ALWAYS up late;

don't know about you!

[PJMcK]

4. Still a working grunt

Can't sleep because the monkey mind won't relent.

DU provides a useful distraction.

Sleep well, elleng.

5. I'm retired too.

Am usually in bed between 11 and midnight. Sad to say old habits die hard and no matter what time I go to bed my internal clock wakes me at 5 am. Only difference now is I can stay in bed not. Two dogs make sure I am stumbling around the yard as the sun comes up. Breakfast tomorrow morn will be yogurt, blueberries, English muffin, organic apple juice and coffee with cream.

6. On Tuesday I'l take my blind friend to breakfast.

We used to teach together and we belonged to the same gun club where we shot sporting clays and we grew quite close over the years. He lost his eyesight late last winter. Before he lost his eyesight we went out lunch or breakfast a couple times a week. We are trying to keep that tradition going.

Now in my seventies it's sad to see my friends get more infirm and die.

More will mess with my nap!

I often have tea later on.

12. ciabatta bread

with egg salad topped with those giant caperberries you can get from TJ's. A turn or two of the black pepper grinder.

Then a bowl of cherries.

[PJMcK]

17. I've never heard of caperberries

Since I love capers, non-parries and all the olives, I’ll have to hunt some up.

As always, NJCher, you inspire good foods.

[irisblue]

13. Thanks for picking this up.

Coffee & an egg sandwich.

[PJMcK]

14. Food!

It's always fun.

Safe travels, Irisblue.

15. Two ingredient gluten free bagel...Weight watcher recipe...and scrambled eggs with a bit of cheese.

And coffee of course...giant homemade latte. I also have a bowl of delicious cherries.

[PJMcK]

16. Sounds healthy and delicious!

I hope you’re our lunch and dinner are equally satisfying.

[Demsrule86]

18. It was really good...didn't have time to post dinner last night but we had whole foods sweet

potato ravioli ...gluten free. It was delicious. I haven't mastered gluten free ravioli yet...I have a machine and it disintegrates...I made a low calorie white sauce which would be good on any pasta...especially in the fall...

Melt on tbsp of light butter or any butter or oil of your choice in a pan. Add one to two cloves of garlic. Saute until tender but not brown. Add 1 tbsp of flour (used gluten free but any would work), Add a 1/2 cup of skim milk or any milk or cream you desire. I added more milk as it got very thick...next add fresh if you have it sage (recipe said a TBSP) to taste...I used dry myself...about a TBSP and it was still very good. Salt and pepper to taste and add one TBSP of maple syrup at the end and then lots of fresh ground pepper to taste...it was so good and very low calorie. I also had roasted chicken thighs and green beans with old bay seasoning.
