What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast?
– Anthony Bourdain

Breakfast is often said to be the most important meal of the day. That’s why so many of us make a point of grabbing coffee/tea and a bite to eat. This usually is a bowl of our favorite cereal or a cold bagel smeared with cream cheese or a protein bar. Hot Breakfast Month was established to encourage us with a more substantial fare. This morning get up and crack some eggs, burn some toast, make pancakes, fry some bacon or sausage and with your bevvie of choice, enjoy a hot breakfast. Who hasn’t been woken up by a kit when its breakfast?

I took Alia and Z to see The Black Panther. It is such a beautiful movie and I will, absolutely, see it again.

I’m sending the image because this wee kit is major COA!

Have a happy~

Good morning – I woke up in the mood for a spinach omelet. It’s a rainy and windy morning – purrfect day for a hot brekkie!

Morning!

PG, hope my brekkie doesn’t commune with me or come up on me (ewww!) 😮
If had a downstairs maid … but I don’t .. so it’s DIY! *Sigh*

Balanced brekkie featuring a clowder of silvery tabby kitties – squeee!

I’m having Kashi wheat biscuits enhanced with ground flax seed and maple sugar. Then I add some milk and vanilla cream and micro for a few. Quite nice!

And as I’m in Northern Hem I guess it qualifies as:

BTW Roger Hodgson is coming here in Oct. But point in time I am not paying $278 for the cheapest seats.

Western Hemisphere? Think they mean the US. Seriously though, you could buy a lot of nice yarn with that, or with luck get through Dorry’s annual, if no surprises…

While facilitating an international youth school in Amsterdam, I discovered the range of breakfasts participants would make if they had the choice. The Dutch usually have just a slice or two of not-very-good bread (there is good bread there but it is rare; they are far more likely than Germans to eat the bad North American or English soft, sliced stuff) and cheese, cold cuts if they eat meat, or butter or some kind of soft white dairy stuff with chocolate sprinkles. Eeeeeuuuwww. The French, Italians and Spanish of course don’t eat much of anything, perhaps some bread or some variation on the croissant/cornetto/medialuna and above all strong coffee. Now Asians, whether East, South or Southeast, want rice or perhaps noodles, often with fish, eggs, vegetables… The Vietnamese phò soup popular here is breakfast there.

Now there is a very good Moroccan bakery round the corner from there, with excellent bread. I usually have just some bread and cheese, and coffee obviously.

Here I might do the same, sometimes a Spanish omelette (tortilla) with potato and onions, or simply leftovers. I also make a Persian omelette with spinach, but as it is a bit of work – very nutritious though – I’m more inclined to serve it to guests for supper.

I saw a supermarket ad for breakfast foods recently, and among them was a quiche. I wouldn’t think of either making one or warming one up; guess that comes from brunch. Seems like too much trouble when one isn’t fully awake…

Livia wants only dry or wet cat food, and water. She will eat a bit of goat yoghurt. No human chicken or fish… I got up very early, fed her at 5 a.m., but then she was so cuddly and purry that we slept in until alost 9:30 a.m., very late for me. But I got up and realized that it was snowing, and that makes both of us drowsy.

Weather outside is awful. Somewhat scary icy and damp, I was so glad to get back indoors with no intention of going out again until tomorrow.

If I wanted to go to a concert I would. I just don’t quite understand how tickets are so expensive when one can hardly the performer from a seat way in the back. i feel the same way about gong to movies. It’s been years for me. Don’t want to sound grumpy but I find the theatres too cold, the sound too loud, the seats too hard and the popcorn smell sickens me. So I wait until film makes its way to TV.

Right now I’d like to source out a pr of Dr. Marten’s awesome boots. In indigo to compliment jean skirts. Hopefully the right sale will come along or I’ll give in and spend the $200 or so. They are classics, after all.

IMHO nothing quite beats the “Israeli breakfast” featuring everything one can imagine and more! On last trip to Israel friend and I would take some rolls and cheese and pack a lunch for later. And on first group trip I switched from the North American group that I was assigned to for the French contingent (way classier group!) Peeps packed croissants from breakfast in hotel napery and we ate them after climbing Masada – a climb that started at 3 am!

There’s a nasty, cold wind but sunny. I can hear the wind whipping through the trees. Of course, Miss Gaea wants to sit in the doorway and gets mad when I try to make her go one way or the another. 😐 Stay in and be warm, KJ. Did you go back to bed, Lagatta? 😀

I won’t tell you how much I paid for Adele tickets.

Israeli breakfast is lovely. Not talking about political disputes, it is pretty much the same as breakfast anywhere in the Levant, though Israeli would also have input from elsewhere in the Jewish world. One feature I love in that meal (I’ve had it by Israeli friends and also by Lebanese friends) is the chopped salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and other nice things.

I bought three pair of very nice petite jeans at the 70% of sale at Reitmans, but I’m peeved as they have very few skirts, and almost no denim skirts. I love skirts, not too short. About the only ones they have, supposedly for cycling and other “everyday” fitness, are skorts with a sort of long knickers sewn inside. Doesn’t make sense as undergarments worn for even casual cycling go straight in the wash, and I don’t necessarily want to wash skirts twice a day.

Today – Sunday – I did go back to bed with Livia. Yesterday – Saturday – I don’t recall that I did. Of course it is already Monday now for many of us.

Reitmans used to have an awesome selection of denim skirts. And corduroy skirts. And other skirts. And IMHO all of them the “right” length and I’m very purrticular about this. Well, I probably have them all, but it’s true, they don’t have skirts anymore. Very sad. 🙁

For sure fitness gear should go straight into the wash. At gym there are some who don’t seem to hold to this rule, not pleasant at all. 😡

Ice seems to have melted. Phew! Hope it stays this way.

I’m off to bed and wish all a good night!
