I can usually figure out typos (not to brag, but I have been referred to as 'Typo King'), but "eaking" threw me.

Sorry about the arthritis, that sucks.

This morning I had cottage cheese, sourdough toast, a piece of pineapple, and coffee. Other mornings I will have yogurt, fruit or fruit juice, sometimes scrambled eggs or oatmeal.

Mid-morning a banana or yogurt.
Of course if someone puts a good breakfast in front of me or if I have time to go out (like on vacation) that's different.

But that doesn't always mean I eat breakfast food. 2 of my favs for breakfast are left-over pasta or pinto beans.

I like a big breakfast of real food. Sometimes I make dinner for breakfast if I don't have sufficient leftovers.

At work I'll get a 0900 bag of Doritos.

On the weekend my wife and I get takeout biscuits and gravy at the local gas station, deli, liquor store, bait, fishing license and tackle store.

I may have mentioned before that we live in a very small rural town.

BTW, It's delicious. The biscuits are soft and moist and the sausage gravy is savory without being salty. They make outstanding hoagies as well.

I can do a decent gravy, but we can't come close to the biscuits the ladies who work down at the Phillip's 66 make.

Have a great weekend irisblue!

M-F during work it depends on how many meetings I have in the morning and how much free time I have. During work my breakfast consists of grabbing something in the cafe at work.

On the weekends I always eat breakfast.

Cream of Rice with half-n-half to a bagel with lox and cream cheese to an Epic or Larabar with a cheese stick. A cup of two of coffee followed by tea mid morning.

Nothing too heavy in the morning.

Right now I am eating dry cereal - for that I rotate among Cheerios, Life, and Honey Bunches of Os. Once I am done with operations and recovery I will go back to cooked cereal - which is actually not oatmeal but a combination of various flaked cereals (wheat, rye, etal).

When traveling I'll get a more elaborate breakfast - waffles, pancakes, or my special go to breakfast of two eggs sunny-side up, three slices of bacon, and two slices of whole wheat toast. I make a sandwich of the toast and bacon and mop up the runny yolks with that- YUM!

I just can't handle that much cooking first thing in the morning - though on occasion I have made a batch of oven baked French toast or a French toast casserole thing and can re-heat pieces in the morning.

I sometimes eat it out but only after I've been up for a while. Almost brunch really and only on weekends or vacation weekdays.

I alternate between pancakes/french toast or other really sweet things and eggs/omelettes.

But, no matter what, if I do have breakfast, there will be bacon.

Sometimes my stomach wakes me up early.

I usually eat eggs, hash browns, and fake sausage.

We alternate cereal (two types with homemade granola, plump raisins and frozen blueberries) and a pot of my home roasted coffee.

Weekend - either pumpkin waffles or an apple cinnamon Dutch baby

One day per week - home made cornbread with home made strawberry jam.

Foodies...guilty as charged!
