What's for Breakfast today? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice2 months ago

Aside from normally cooked rice, combining with foods like sunny-side-up egg or hotdog or bacon or any easy to cook food, Filipinos also have "lugaw" (rice porridge) or "arroz caldo", "champorado" (rice cooked like lugaw, mixed with chocolate or "tablya") combined with milk, sugar and bread at the side.

This time, I am having Chicken Arroz Caldo from a pouch. This is instant, no-cook, so I just poured the contents of the pouch to a cup and added hot water to cook it. Yummy!!!

So what do you have for breakfast today?
Is this you favorite to eat for breakfast?
What do you usually have for breakfast in your place, or do you have any option or anything you want to eat today?

We usually do not eat actual breakfast because we work nights. We mainly eat lunch or dinner. We eat past noon but before actual supper time. Our schedule is all messed up. We did have french toast today though.

i also don't actually have breakfast, usually it's just a cup of coffee for me. but there are really times, i just can help but have something, even light breakfast. noontime is still a long time and my tummy will complain before it gets to lunch.

fresh bowl of lucky charms with straberry? that really sounds yummy, frankiejriv. happy

Hello bro. For breakfast, normally I can make do with just a bread or a cup of coffee or tea. I think scrambled eggs might be good too; or half-boiled one. Rice porridge sounds like a delicious option as well. I know that breakfast is a very important start of the day, even if we have been working nights non-stop. Hmmmmm.. like an energy instant starter or something to get us going. What did you have today then?happy


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

yes zed, something heavy in the morning is really a good start for any one because we really need energy for the day's work. but sometimes we just don't think about ourselves and we just work with only coffee in the morning. today, like i have said, i have rice porridge, very common breakfast in our place. how about you today, what have you for breakfast?


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (4545)   ranked 276 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

At long last, the real Zed returns. thumbupthumbup


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

what do you mean "the real Zed" thea? is there a copy-cat zed here? lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

frankiejriv, as long you consume that calories in the morning, it doesn't matter how heavy it will be. lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. zed_k4 (4630)   ranked 38 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

Neil is right. I sometimes take quite a heavy breakfast, when I'm totally free and I find my weight pretty stagnant.. w00t.

They say something about not eating after 7pm or so because night-time is usually the process whereby we sleep. But for those working nights, they might have a light snack to last them throughout.

Thea means my handsome avatar, she loves it, Neil.. wubwub


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

oh yes zed, i remember. you just changed you avatar and now you are back, the real zed. lol

i agree to that too. even if you take heavy meals in any time of the day, it will still be good for our health as long as our body will consume it. what's the use of heavy meal in the evening if we will just sleep at it? happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. zed_k4 (4630)   ranked 38 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

That's right, Neil ... Ha... she loves this one here.. and I think I might stick with it for awhile too..

As for the eating at night part, I have this thought. Some people claim that eating at night makes no difference if they have activities going on. But I think that might not be so right because the body needs to rest and I think at night, the process is somewhat slower.


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

that's right zed, and so we really don't need much, as if we eat more, the food will not get digested everything, and that will make us in trouble. so it's still better to have heavier meal when we still have to work. at night, we can have less so as our system could also rest.


myLot reputation of 98/100. zed_k4 (4630)   ranked 38 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

I feel like that too; Neil..and this eating at night or some call binge eating is just sometimes out of habit. Some days, I don't feel hungry but I just munch some snacks at night. Like when watching TV and stuff... real bad habit there..ha..


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

i think we're kinda opposite. if i get hungry at night while watching tv or doing some stuff, i just have some coffee or just go to sleep. lol

hi neildc!

In my case, I dont eat breakfast. I just drink milk. But of course there are times that I feel like eating some. Usually it is bread with some cheez whiz or peanut butter. Sometimes, I just eat chocolate cake. What a break fast, hehehe.


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

when i was younger, i usually have "hot pan de sal" with cheese. i also love chocolate in the morning. but now that i am already a father and working, i don't know why it happened, i just do it with a simple cup of coffe. sometimes, we really can't help it, we eat rice too. so how about you today, what have you got there for breakfast?

4. myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (21092)   ranked 219 out of 612 in rice   2 months ago

hi neildc well I am in a retirement center and for breakfast we have our choice of dry cereals or oatmean, then a pancake or french toast with bacon,or sausage, or eggs.once in a while we have hash browns with our scrambled eggs and I love that too. when I get a chance to eat breakfast out I always order eggs over easy, hash browns, rye toast and good hot coffee. I have a filipino lady for a tablemate, she has gout so cannot eat meat of any kind, but she sure does love her rice. As I understand it rice for you is a lot like our potatoes that we have most meals here in the US. I am so glad that we can all exchange things here at mylot, we learn from each other and that is really fun to me.
Rice cooked with chocolate, oh that sounds really delicious, I love chocolate so much.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (21092)   ranked 219 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

hi error alert I meant oatmeal, not oatmean, darn.


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

hi patsie. i don't want to be in the center, not this time. lol
but if i have to have breakfast there, with those choices, i want to have french toast with bacon and scrambled eggs, with orange juice at the side, lol.
i am also glad that with mylot, we can exchange ideas even we have never personally meet each others. we are having a lot of fun here.
take care patsie.

I love chicken arroz caldo too but I can only eat that during merienda time. For breakfast I only eat a toast of wholewheat bread and fruit like banana, or papaya or mango. During holidays, I do prepare a heavier breakfast because I have plenty of time to cook but on ordinary day I do have to rush every thing so I won't be late for work. happy


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

i also like to have fruits like mangoes in the morning. but i am not really the type of person who eats in the morning, it's just coffee for me. but if it's breaktime, i try to have even a light meal with rice, before lunch time. but today, what have you taken for breakfast?


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4652)   ranked 2 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

My husband and I enjoyed the native "suman" and sweet mangoes we bought from the market after we had our morning jogging. We do love "kakanin" but we make sure it is from our "suki".


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

oh, i love those "kakanin", those sweet delicacies like "suman", "bibingka" and "puto". now you made me miss my grandma again, who was an expert with those sweets. i remember they told me that i actually grew-up taking time on the table while "lola" prepares them. lol

Hi Neil,


Here in the UK, we don't have rice, the fully English breakfast consit of toast, eggs, bacon tomatos mushrooms, sausages and some people may add bake beans and to wash down with a nice cup of coffee or tea. Some people just have cereal and toast with marmalade or jam but I only have a bowl cereal andtwo mugs of coffee, I can't eat a lot. Hugs.

myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

hi tamara. if only i can have them, i really love western or european style of breakfast. i love bacon, sausage and beans... you don't each a lot but you drink much coffee? lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. tamarafireheart (12544)   ranked 78 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

Hi Neil,



I don't drink a lot of coffee, just two mugs in the morning then I drink water most of the day but sometimes I have green tea or herbal tea like mint or jasmine, then just before I go to bed I have hot milk and sprinkle with nutmeg to help me to sleep. Hugs.


Tamara


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

hi tamara. oh i see, i thought you still drink more along the day and until night time. i drink coffee most of the time, at least 3 cups a day, that's how we love coffee here. sometimes, i also drink tea. neil

I eat rice porridge and a bottle of milk everyday. But I do not rice porridge very much. So sometime, I also eat bread . And I do not know what a heavy breakfast is really like. As I don't like get up early, it always leave me little time to cook the breakfast. So I have to eat the breakfast cooked by my mother. She never changes the content for breakfast.Therefore, I east rice porridge most of the time.


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

for me, heavy meal is normally cooked rice combined with any food, whether it's boiled or fried dishes. i love to have heavy breakfast too, but my wife usually don't cook breakfast, so i just start my day with a cup of coffee. i eat sometimes when i reach the office, just like today with instant rice porridge. maybe you try to cook instead of mother cooking in the morning, to make a difference. lol

Hi neildc! I didn't have much of a breakfast this morning because I woke up late and I was in a hurry to get to church. I just had a slice of bread and ran out the door. I know that sounds terrible but at least I survived until I got home. Most of the time when I eat breakfast, I have a scrambled egg, a slice of bread (my toaster quit working on me several months ago), 1/2 of a grapefruit, and a glass of water. Sometimes I will eat Raisin Bran with milk instead of a scrambled egg. In the summer, I will have 1/4 of a cantaloupe instead of grapefruit. Sometimes I will eat an apple as my fruit. happy Kathy.


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

hi kathy. it seems to me you are not a heavy breakfast eater, lol. well, same here, i don't usually have a meal at breakfast and i can do it with just a cup of coffee. sometimes, if i came from a drinking spree that night, i want to have something hot like soup rather than coffee. neil


myLot reputation of 98/100. cyrus123 (1728)   ranked 434 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

I hate to admit this but I sleep late of the morning. It's because I've always been a night owl and I have trouble sleeping at night, anyway. Most of the time, I don't get up in time for breakfast. When I do get up earlier, I eat a light breakfast, though. Kathy.


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

do you really have problems with sleeping? or you just stay late at night with mylot? lol
and you are also a home buddy?


myLot reputation of 98/100. cyrus123 (1728)   ranked 434 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

I'm sorry I'm so long responding to this. I do have trouble sleeping a lot but at the same time, I'm always up late. Not only am I mylotting but I practice music a lot at night. About the only time I have to do it is at night because I'm in and out a lot during the day. No, I don't consider myself a home body because I do like to travel. However, I just don't have the money these days. It seems like I'm always going somewhere during the day. There's always errands to run or somewhere I want to go. I live by myself and if I stayed at home all the time, I would go crazy. Kathy.


myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 3 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

i can't imagine living alone, kathy. i think i would go crazy too. lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. cyrus123 (1728)   ranked 434 out of 612 in rice  2 months ago

Actually, I like living alone. I like being my own boss for one thing, lollol. I can come and go as I please and I don't have anybody to answer to. It can get lonely sometimes but I just keep busy all the time and that helps. I also have a little dog that stays in the house some to keep me company. I also have a horse but he stays out in the pasture, lollol. It can also get rough when you get sick and you feel like you need to go to the hospital but you're too sick to drive yourself. That happened to me in 2005. I have a sister who lives next door to me but she doesn't drive any more due to increasing health problems and I didn't know if her husband would take me or not. It was pretty late at night when it happened and I ended up calling the ambulance to take me to the hospital. I was bad sick at my stomach that night and I could barely walk much less drive a car. It turned out that I had a diseased gallbladder and I had to have surgery. I also had pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) at the same time. I'm doing a lot better now. Somebody told me later that it was probably good that I did go by ambulance because they could give me something if I had gotten worse along the way. Kathy.
