What is good for breakfast where you live

Bacon, eggs, toast w/butter.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

it’s wood related because Peggy makes them on my cutting board

-- Hey ! I was born in IOWA .... don't blame me

Weekdays: Coffee, coffee, and more coffee

Saturdays: Pancakes w/syrup and butter

Sundays: Homemade biscuits w/Smuckers strawberry preserves and butter

BTW, I do the cooking.

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Lots o’ coffee. Something made from bread. Ideally, left over pizza, if I can get it. Other wise toast or biscuits.
Usually eat in my shop, so my breakfast has wood in it too!

Almost every morning, I fix grits for my family before I head off to work. However, my favorite, is bacon, eggs, grits and toast.

-- David, Charlotte NC (http://beechcreeknaturals.etsy.com)

Muesli, a coffee, an orange.

Most mornings its just coffee… I know, not to good for me. My favorite breakfast I picked up a LONG time ago while I was in the Army, Bisuits and Sausage gravey with two eggs over easy on top….and lots of hot sauce.

-- Greg - Charles Town, WV

I start off with a 20 oz. cup of coffee, while reading the morning news.

Then we have 7 grain bread toast with peanut butter.

We’ve been hooked on this for a long time.

-- Dick Cain, Hibbing, MN. http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/gallery/member.php?uid=3627&protype=1

Sawdust!

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

Just coffee, two newspapers to catch up on the news (what there is of it) and then off to catch on the posts on LJs and try to finish this up by 6 to stay on schedule.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

oatmeal
or cheerios.. or as a special cereal, my favourite – Shreddies..

and then when we have bonfire breakfasts: it’s bacon, eggs, campfire hash, muffins, toast & jam, and crescent rolls baked over the fire.

Usually it’s one piece of bread with peanut butter folded in half, and a half bannana, and 8oz. glass of orange juice, and PILLS. When I allow myself to splurge, I love eggs benedict w/holindais sauce. Other splurges include eggs over medium (with white over the yoke) shanty fries or good home fries, Ummmmm, and spicy fresh hot sausage patties. You can’t get shanty fries in a restaurant….My wife makes the best. It’s hard for me to get good home fries too…. sometimes I get beef gravy on them. Think I’ll splurge soon. Ha Ha!

My wife eats the other half bannana. It’s my way of getting her to eat something nourishing.

Dinner.

I have a habit of forgetting to eat.

But I do drink a fair amount of coffee.

Over here, a very popular breakfast is roti canai and teh tarik.

It’s what I missed the most about Malaysia when I was back in the States.

-- Eric at http://adventuresinwoodworking.com

I usually skip breakfast and sip tea until lunch. But this forum is making me hungry espcially Eric’s post. I have some of that Roti in my freezer. I get it the Asian Market and warm it up on the cast iron skillet with a couple sunny side up eggs. That’s fushion cooking.

-- Thuan

I love a good ARMLET. But I have to fix it myself because Only a Clown Can Fix an ARMLET.
“DeputyDawg” Actually it’s Polish Kilbasa or Smoked Sausage cut into small pieces, Onions, green peppers,sea salt and pepper and 3 eggs. But you gotta COOK IT WITH LOVE.

-- DeputyDawg

Around here we get chorizo and eggs quite a bit. Not Mexican chorizo but Basque chorizo. Or an omelette with chorizo and green chilis. Lots of cheese. Oh and, Dutch oven bisquits.

-- Thos. Angle, Owyhee Design, Oregon

Used to be a place in Topeka, Kansas -”The Hawk’s Nest”, that served a mean Western Armlet (spelled just that way on the Menu Board). They had a yam pie that was good too.

But nowadays it’s coffee, more coffee and two Golden Almond breakfast bars. Sundays I cook fried eggs for Pam and I – she gets cheese over the top and I have bacon on the side.

The breakfast I remember most was at OT Hodges Chili Parlor in St. Louis. A small group of us used to go to OT’s for breakfast around 9:00am and have a Slinger. (They sold this for lunch also)

It’s made like this.

2 Hamburger Patties, each of them covered with an egg and cheese. Potatoes on the side and the whole thing covered in Chilli. Now this was beanless chilli, just the meat and chili sauce. Onions optional. If you wanted they would put some beans on top before the chilli. It would tide you over until lunch.

That’s when I really started to put on weight.

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

depends on the day! Yesterday it was 2 cadbury eggs 1 peanut butter egg and a quart of coffee. most days however its whatever looks good and is quick! :-]

-- hey honey! watch this!

This morning we had the neighbor’s cat. Mmmm. It was good too. We’ve tried Maple but although sweet, it was too hard to chew. Pine sticks to my dental work. Walnut is too bitter and takes a ton of sugar to make it edible. Poplar is good, chews easily and is good for the bowels. Cherry is my favorite but we only have that on special occasions.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

I agree with the maple poplar walnut cherry and pine but I must dissagree with the niebors cat. Everone knows that cats are best used for pushsticks! If you eat all your push sticks you might loose a finger or two! :-]>

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Oatmeal with raisins, rye toast with sugar free apricot jam, half a piece of fruit and coffee. My Dr. told me I ate enough sugar to last a life time and to give it up. My blood sugar just went up looking at the above picture.

-- Ron Central, CA

Cuban cafe con letchee,2 eggs over lite, a toasted bagel with lots of cream cheese…...then black coffee…
then some mornin’s just a big bowl of cream of wheat with brown sugar

-- I'm not slowing down,everythings just going by faster!

I love what I call a kitchen sink omlet, if it will lay still, throw it in. Ham, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, olives, onions, hash browns (yes, in the omlet). I have seen some folks I have seen spoil it by adding tomatoes and different kinds of peppers.

-- Adrian The 11th Commandment...."Thou Shalt Not Buy A Wobble Dado"

coffee…egg, cheese and sausage on a croisant…well…that is my favorite…this morning I wok up late…ended up at OSH (hardware store) and next thing I knew it was close to lunch…so i stopped at burger king so that I could get in the shop asap when i got home…stayed in the shop until 8pm…so i think today;s breakfast (whopper cheese, fries and Dr. Pepper) was a great brweakfast

-- Matt, Napa, CA: Lj's...I love logging on--I feel so young after being around teenagers all day!

Most days 1 egg over medium, hash browns and white toast. And coffee. But lately I’ve become addicted to Mrs. Winner’s cinnamon rolls. And coffee. Other days it’s pork tenderloin biscuit. And coffee.

Yum !

5 little biskets this morning

-- Hey ! I was born in IOWA .... don't blame me

Charlie. I can smell the chicory from here.
However if you wanted to elicit the sound of ultimate suffering you would have posted a picture some of those little glazed fruit custard pastries – there used to be a place named Le Patisserie Du Roi in the Quarter. Can’t seem to be able to Google it :-(

Hope nobody minds a new user posting about breakfast…. When time permits (weekends only) I like my buttermilk pancakes with two runny eggs on top with syurp. Ummmm…. oh, and lots of coffee.

btw… love the forums on this site. A friend of mine turned me onto your community yesterday. Looking forward to sharing thoughts and ideas with everyone.

Greg, you remember the less PC name for sausage gravy on toast? SOS? I try to eat healthier these days though. Usually one egg with toast or flour tortilla and either yogurt, grits, or oatmeal.

Charlie, you sure know how tio tempt with the Cafe du Monde beignets! They look awesome!

-- North Texas

And welcome ChasHutch. Good to have another from N. TX! I live in Rowlett and work in Frisco. This is a great bunch.

Nice to meet you Tom… I’m in Wylie. Moved my family to Tx. from Chicago last summer, just so happens, the property has a 30×30 shop building in the back yard which has become place of tranquilty!

-- Pretzel L8agn

Dan, the last time I was at the Original House of Pancakes was in Atlanta up on North Peachtree Rd. Damn, I loved them lingonberries. And chriminy, that apple pancake is bigger than your head! Mmmmmmm…

Lately it’s been half of a mini bagel and cream cheese chased by three cups of joe. Y’know, something to float on all that coffee.

-- Jim in Cushing Oklahoma

6 out of 7 days- coffee, cigarettes, and sawdust- The healthy living diet.

Sunday it’s Coyote pancakes (I get the mix shipped from Calgary) 1/2 lb of bacon each, real maple syrup, and old cheddar cheese.

We also have a $2.99 breakfast on every corner in Cambridge (so it seems) 3 eggs, bacon, hash browns, rye toast

-- The only easy wood project is a fire

Wow, what a variety. I’m in the South (USA) now and grown fond of a traditional Southern breakfast…
Grits (MUST be slow cooked!) with lots of butter, salt and pepper – you will be disowned by the South if you dare put sugar on your grits… I swear, light and fluffy buttermilk biscuits with “Sawmill” sausage gravy, a milk and flour gravy for those not in the loop. :-) Then of course some eggs, coffee and/or juice.

Most mornings there isn’t time for that – maybe a Chick-fil-A biscuit and hash browns.

My dad’s from NC and in the small towns there pork brains and eggs are very popular.

Fun post!

-- Tim D. - Woodstock, GA

A Bay’s English Muffin (it has to be Bay’s…they’re the only good ones on the planet…probably better than the English eat) with butter & a lot of peanut butter…yeah you gotta have both, if you don’t use butter, the peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth, and a cup of Sumatra Mandheling coffee. (Rich, but never bitter…I wish I was) -SST

-- The poorest of all men is not a man without a cent, it's a man without a dream.

Muffin Wars, nothing Muffin wars, plenty of Muffin Wars — there on the plate… (to the Star Wars theme).

SST, I would put a Wolfermann’s (Metro Kansas City) English Muffin up against a Bay’s any day. If you come to the proposed Heartland Jock’s gathering this summer, I’ll spring for one for you to try. And I’ll likely take some home with me, as well as two short ends from Gates and Sons BBQ.

Jim and itsme, both my parents grew up in Chandler, OK, and my grandmother always mixed in pork or beef brains in the scrambled eggs. It was a hold over habit from the depression. I never knew about the brains until I was in my teens. Didn’t make me any smarter though!

Charlie M.,

You are an evil man to post a pic of beignets and chickory coffee from Cafe du Monde! I used to savor that when I lived on St. Phillip St., and my mouth actually watered just now at seeing the photo.

Now it’s an 8 0z. class of fortified soy milk to mix Fibresonic powder (very high in fiber) and dutifully follow the instructions of my gastroenterologist. Getting older is such a blast!

-- Earle Wright, Lenoir City, Tennessee

Sorry about that, Earle. You have my sympathy. I’ve given up all my vices except rich food. I don’t know if I could bear to part with that one!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

I was awakened this morning by my wife with a hot cup of black coffee… I said “Yawn… you are the best”. To which she replied, “You’re gonna like me even more more in 18 minutes….” Hot biscuits!

Biscuits and Smuckers Strawberry Jam!!

-- Hutch - North Dallas, Tx - Safety First

Heck, Hutch…. for a second there I thoight this thread was going to get racy!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Back in 1961, I used be able to put away a lot of pancakes.

I was working on a diamond drill, exploring for minerals near a small town called Royalton, in central MN.

There was a small diner, called Jack’s Diner were we ate breakfast every morning, Jack the owner served a nice stack of Pancakes, & homemade Bacon.

I used to have them everyday. One morning Jack walked away from his grill, took off his apron & threw it on the

floor, & said, I quit!!

He said, do you realize I’ve been making your pancakes bigger everyday,

to see if you’d leave some on your plate, but when I seen your Buddy give you one of his, & you ate that one,

”I just couldn’t take it anymore”.;o)

A buddy of mine went down to Cafe Du Monde a couple months ago and brought me some Beignet mix and Chickory Coffee… WOW… beignet’s are like the easiest thing in the world to make and are awesome… gotta eat’em in moderation tho. I got to the bottom of the box then got excited when I realized that I could order it online… my local grocer couldn’t figure out what I was doing with all the powdered sugar… lol

Normal breakfast’s are Total and a banana, and coffee coffee coffee….

-- As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)

And it never fails that you are wearing dark clothes when you decide to eat them, and the powdered sugar gets all over you.

hot coffee and biskets from the Peggster, equals true love. I’m a lucky guy.

-- Hey ! I was born in IOWA .... don't blame me

Coffee and breakfast burrito, usually eggs (eggbeater), sausage, cheese, and green peppers. The wife makes me one and I can eat it on the run, Oh and more coffee.

-- Dan in Central Oklahoma, Able to turn good wood into saw dust in the blink of an eye!

—-this morning was….strawberries and blueberries out of our freezer, honey and soymilk blended together for a softies drink and….a peanut butter, banana and whole wheat bread sandwich plus tea…..

-- --frank, NH, http://frank.wordpress.com/

Eggs, sausage, V-8 and coffee this AM.

-- Maplewood, MN

Rikkor, I like that V8 too (actually HyVee generic vegetable juice). I’m hoping I can avoid graduating to Fibresonic powder.

Earle – ain’t it great to becoming part of the GE (gastro-enterological) generation. First they ship you your AARP card at age fifty, then the wife and the Doctor helpfully suggest the flexible colonoscopy procedure. And it’s all downhill from there…

usually just coffee, the stronger the better, with cream, breakfast is really big in the area due to all the loggers, at the only restraunt/truckstop in town (The Wildwood) is the Garbage Can Omlet, with hash browns and toast

Hmmm… I’m beginning to wonder if we woodworking folk haven’t come across the next great health food trend. Sawdust! Seriously, I’m sure if we just add some liquid (milk) and slow cook it for a few hours the fibers would break down enough for it to be edible as a porridge like substance. Add some sweetener and voila, a high fiber low fat breakfast. Plus since we make it ourselves, its pretty cheap.

Sawdust, its not just for school custodians to clean up vomit with anymore. But wait, what if a kid eats the sawdust, then goes to school and throws up. It will be all ready for cleanup! Yep, I’m a genius.

I split a pizza with the wife. Totino’s supreme pizza is known around here as the breakfast pizza. If we split the pizza it is about 400 calories each. I wash it down with an endless supply of diet dew.

Two coffee’s while I catch up on email and L.J. and G.T.
Sundays—- 2 coffee’s,fresh fruit bowl,orange juice,eggs over easy and bacon or sausage. Mmmmmmm

-- Bon... Hastings,Ontario

still on a long jelly and biscuit run …

we ran out one day and it was eggo toaster waffles

-- Hey ! I was born in IOWA .... don't blame me

I call them “Egg Mac-odies”

Start the toast and the fried egg with the yoke broken. Turn the egg over when it’s done on one side. Then add a slice of American cheese and ham. When the cheese starts to melt put the whole thing between the two pieces of toast (I add pepper). If you’re feeling brave … add mayo. Good, good, good, good, good.

-- Odie, Confucius say, "He who laughs at one's self is BUTT of joke".

Hey Odie, I like the same thing from time to time, but I add fresh salsa instead of mayo, and turkey bacon instead of ham.

Would it be safe to say that Dan likes biscuits? And at the beginning I misread what Dan wrote…...I thought he was eating briskets in the morning.

Coffe and leftovers… when I was single many moons ago, the best breakfast was cold pizza and or Chinese food.

When there are no leftovers, then it is eggs with onions and cheese.

-- making sawdust....

Dan loves biscuits! Thanks to Odie though Dan is craving “Egg Mac-odies”! Thanks Odie!!!!!

Those “Egg Mac-odies” do sound good, huh. I like paper sandwiches though, keeps my face looking young.
