Good grief - breakfast choices!

[OhYouMerryMerryKitten]

I asked dh and dd what they would like for breakfast Christmas day.

dh: those nice cinnamon rolls you make...
(huge faff, recipe makes gazillions and needs cooking on the day)
dd: black pudding

I think I shall make them toast. bah humbug!

Moral of the story:

Never ask people what they want. Always decide what you're going to cook and then give them that!

could you freeze the cinnamon rolls and do you have a recipe?

well, you did ask!!!

if I ask, I'll get told kedgeree; or smoked salmon scrambled egg with bacon and toast, possibly sausage, tomato and mushrooms as well.

I won't be asking

What about cinnamon toast as a comprimise.

How about cinnamon toast and pains au chocolat? (pain aux chocolat?)

Get a bag of cinnamon rolls from Ikea.

They are lovely....

Ikea = hell

Cinnamon toast - very very good idea AND I can put dd in charge of it. Shes 9 so it will make her feel very important.

You are all so right though - next time don't ask, even if desperate for a source of conversation!

recipe be warned is so sickeningly delicious.....

I am such a bad mother that when I asked my DS he said
"Why?"
and looked at me suspiciously as if he thought I might COOK something!

oh and then he said
"I'll just have Frosties!"

brilliant! Thanks - do you really use dental floss to cut the dough?

no - I use a knife

doesn't everyone just eat the chocolate from the stocking for brekkie on xmas day?

I just let mine stuff themselves with chocolate all morning, I'm a bad person.

no thats not being a bad person - that is being a very good person - happy children and no stress on your part (til the sugar high kicks in!)

DD eats a selection box, I'm a terrible slattern even on Christmas day!

can I just put in a quick protest though - I don't do a starter!

don't get why people do starters for such a ginormous meal especially when people have been scoffing chocolate and mince pies all day

no I don't. I think it might be to keep people quiet while you wrestle with a half undercooked turkey and 30,000 sprouts.

Are you doing kedgeree, Thumbelf?

Because I'll be there!

I'm going to be making these!! Although I have to figure out how to convert it to grams and ounces I guess.

Thanks for the recipe!!

Just saw the threads on cinnamon toast. Tesco used to do a lovely cinnamon + spiced loaf in the Finest collection. Haven't seen it in there for a while but it's worth asking, the top's all dusted with icing sugar + it tastes lovely! They're quite small though so you'd need several.

I might, missblythe - you never know.
Trouble is I always forget to do the rice the day before so have to do it on the day which then takes aaaages.

We always have Panettone for breakfast on Xmas Day. Not because we are Italian or anything - just cos I can't be arsed cooking anything and anyway it is delish!!
