What's for Breakfast?

[Don Cuevas]

I recall that K2 is a Separatist.

[bixaorellana]

I've been up for four hours, so can now face breakfast. I'm having the leftover calamari/rice heated up -- taking little bites of it here in front of the computer.

[Don Cuevas]

Yesterday's breakfast: Stone ground yellow corn grits with diced roasted chile poblano, a little garlic, and goat cheese. That formed the base for adornments such as reheated homemade sausage patties in basil tomato sauce, and later, Sichuan style braised short ribs. The first was o.k. but the second was right on.

September 20, 2010: Chilaquiles con pollo; steamed rice.
I seldom make chilaquiles at home. They are ubiquitous in restaurants here.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilaquiles

Mine have far less salsa than those in the photo.


Potzolcallí is a chain of restaurants out of Mexico City, specializing in pozole, a totally different dish.

The white stuff is cheese?

[Don Cuevas]

Yes. Queso. Fromage blanc.

[Deleted]

I don't know if I would want it every morning, but it looks quite tasty -- and filling.

[bixaorellana]

It's good any time of day. I talked about chilaquiles in the "menus & ideas for 1 or 2 people thread", and here is more info & a recipe (reply @2).

And HOW, you ask, did I manage to find that item? Why, I simply used the fabulous new Search feature! Either click the word Search in the main menu, or use the little search slot at the bottom of each page. Note that the menu Search will take you to the advanced version, which you can also use as a simple version by only filling in the first slot. The one at the bottom of the page is the simple version, but has an option to change to advanced.

Breakfast September 26, 2010:
Eggs scrambled with diced onion, sweet red pepper, top grade bacon and provolone cheese. Basil chiffonade on top.
One half English muffin and a small hunk of ripe papaya.

[Deleted]

I had some wonderful corned beef hash and two poached eggs and an English muffin for my breakfast.

[hwinpp]

Would that have been a Big Apple breakfast? Or a Big Easy breakfast?

;D ;D ;D

I didn't have any breakfast, woke up too late.

[lagatta]

Little pancakes made from chickpea flour, with caraway seeds (I'm out of cumin seeds), fine slivers of onion and chopped cilantro. Sort of like pakoras but made with MUCH less oil - I brush oil on my cast-iron skillet with a silicone brush.

These are friendly to gluten-intolerant people, by the way. Saying that as a friend has been diagnosed with a gluten intolerance (not Cæliac; eating gluten won't kill her but it will make her feel very nasty). They also require no egg and no milk, but the batter should be mixed well ahead of time - I do it the night before.

[betsie]

Chick pea flour? Delicous, but a major fart-maker. God almighty, I couldn't eat those for breakfast and then attend a business meeting! ;D

[Don Cuevas]

Early; 2 wedges of pizza, reheated.

Later, 2 fried eggs and Westphalian pumpernickel.

[Don Cuevas]

September 28, 2010: A few boiled alubias blancas grandes, covered with esquites. Kernel corn, scarped from the cobs of maíz criollo, boiled with seasonings and in this instance, some smokey bacon.

Maíz criollo


Esquites

October 2, 2010:
A BBQ'd smoked brisket sandwich on a hamburger bun, topped with slaw.

[mich64]

Today, cinnamon raisin toast with peanut butter and tea!

Re post #42 and #43, when my husband was a child, before school each morning, his mother made him coffee in his bol and he dipped his buttered toast in it. A few years after we married she gave him his bol, I think tomorrow morning I will surprise him and use it when making his morning coffee.

[Don Cuevas]

Rice, fried eggs on top, spicy radish kimchi.

I toasted whole wheat bread and had it with butter and blackberry preserves. I probably had that 3 or 4 times a week in my youth, and now it has become an oddity that I eat maybe once every 4 months. And that is very odd indeed.

(Actually, I can think of the explanation. As a child, breakfast was an obligatory family event. These days, breakfast rarely happens, and when it does, I usually go for things that do not even require 3 minutes of preparation, e.g. yogurt.)

[hwinpp]

We went to the Rising Sun for an American breakfast for my girl friend and a steaming big bowl of pho for me from the shop on the other side of the road. They don't mind if I order there.

;D

[Don Cuevas]

Huevos Albañil (soft scrambled eggs, simmered in a very spicy salsa); 1 uchepo (a sweet, unfilled, tamal of fresh corn plus melted mozz cheese), frijoles negros, a bit of rice.

[hwinpp]

This was mine, won ton noodle soup with roast duck.

[bixaorellana]

I hope you're happy. Now I want that with every fiber of my being, & don't have a hope in hell of getting any.

[mickthecactus]

I wish I had the time and inclination to come up with any of these rather than the toast I have nearly every single day.............

[Don Cuevas]

Now: stone ground yellow grits, apple wood smoked bacon, two eggs up, sliced tomato, freshly squeezed orange juice.

[Deleted]

I got up early, but my stomach is still asleep and doesn't want anything. I'd better take a little something to the office with me.

[tod2]

I am a breakfast person so am sure to either make it myself - toast & marmalade with tea, or like this morning I made wholewheat toast with 2 eggs scrambled microwave style. I find this the best method for creamy eggs especially if you add a tablespoon of cream or blob of butter - must stop the microwave every few seconds to stir the eggs. I love lots of parsley in my eggs but sometimes return to a memory of scrambled eggs I had at the Polana Hotel in Maputo Mozambique,( but in those days of our holiday travel the city was was known as Lorenzo Marques)where the chef sprinkled my eggs liberally with Parmagano Regiano!

If I don't have to get out of bed till later, I sometimes get a nice steaming bowl of cooked oats porridge brought to me on a tray

[Don Cuevas]

Today, October 18, 2010: leftover spaghetti and meatballs, then some white beans and salpicón de atún ahumado, leftovers from yesterday's dinner.


Albóndigas In The Mist

[Deleted]

I had pan fried freshly caught (by one of my employers,)trout,with scrambled eggs and an english muffin. Strong black coffee.
Fresh fish for breakfast is one of my favorites!

[Don Cuevas]

Pozole rojo, with shredded red cabbage, chopped onion, sliced radishes and crusty heated telera roll.

Later, a surprisingly good, and absurdly cheap,large torta Cubana at, of all places, the Wal-Mart Morelia Cafetería (coffee shop, not "cafetería" as we North of the Border think of it.)
