To ask what you had for breakfast?

[Merryoldgoat]

Lighthearted

I’ve had a few hard weeks but having cancelled all plans for the next few days, things are looking up. DH, kids and I are having some PJ days with very little effort involved.

So what wondrous feast did you have for breakfast?

I had:

1 parsnip
1 carrot poached on butter
2 roast potatoes dipped in ketchup
5 forkfuls of Black Forest Gateau
Handful of grapes
Diet Coke

Currently watching Groundhog Day and considering a second plate, maybe this time consisting of cheese.

Boxing Day hash: all leftover veggies whizzed together in the food processor with an egg then fried like a giant pancake & finished in the oven. Serve with hot salsa or mayo & a glass of champagne. Lush. DH prepping it now.

Well if you are all having chocolate based goods for breakfast I may as well join you all.... mmmmmmmmm, bloody love chocolate for breakfast me.

A handful of strawberry Quality Street and a cup of tea.

Two coffees and an egg on toast. I feel boring!

Sausage rolls, chestnut stuffing and cheesecake. A classic Boxing Day feast

I have three sausage rolls, two wantons, a mug of coffee and a glass of orange juice.
DD(14) is currently munching through a tube of sweets.
I've told her this will not happen tomorrow!

Bacon sandwich, caramel syrup coffee. I've already started breaking out in spots because of all the sugar yesterday 😭 got a night out tomorrow!!

Slice of toast and marmite, half a banana, tea. We’ll be having a big cooked breakfast later on, it’s a Boxing Day tradition.

I was a very little bit hungover (no one else in this house likes cava, oh dear poor meeee) so I had peanut butter on toast and a big pot of strong tea.

And then 2 L of full-sugar coke. And NOW I'm okay! :)

A sandwich made from pigs in blankets and the bacon that had covered the turkey. Gorgeous!

Tempura prawns, stilton and crackers, pickled onions and Christmas cake - food of the Gods!

Reading all these makes me aware of an unexpected downside of having Christmas Lunch in a restaurant, which we did this year (We live somewhere where it's common to have no oven) - it was bloody lovely not having to cook and no washing up, but... I am a bit sad we don't have any leftovers.

I made pancakes 😁 maple syrup and butter on top

And then 2 L of full-sugar coke.

Christmas dinner bubble and squeak, orange matchmakers and some schloer

2L of coke

We had scrambled egg and smoked salmon on muffins.

A chocolate orange 😅

Pringles

I’ve just had an espresso and skinny porridge (sat in cafe Nero people watching)
Trying to relax before I go and pick up DM to take her out for the day - she has Alzheimer’s and can be very difficult and tiring to be around
On the other hand I can’t leave her alone on Boxing Day - first one without my Dad who died 8 weeks ago
Tonight I will be with DD DS and DP raiding their fridge and eating all the leftovers from yesterday

Coffee and a couple of mince pies. Yum.

Handful of Roses
Scraps of toast- baby's leftovers
Waitrose cheese and bacon sausage rolls
Tub of pre prepped buttery veg, delicious!

Croissant baked Tuesday so dipped in black coffee and a gingerbread man, two black coffees

Now if to the duck race

Jaffa cakes and a strepsil.

I had a couple of meringues and cream, melon and strawberries and then a croissant with butter and jam.

Just coffee. I'm hanging a bit, so holding out for cheese and crackers later when I'm a bit more more human.
