What did you have for breakfast today?

Trader Joe's was OUT of my favorite lox the other day, so I had to improvise. My default breakfast is sourdough toast with butter, cream cheese and lox on it. Delicious, especially with coffee, and it keeps me going until lunch. I had to do some quick thinking at Trader Joe's that day. What I decided on was some ham. Not very kosher, but it was something that would work with sourdough toast and cream cheese. It was actually quite good and became my staple for a few days. What did you have for breakfast today?

@Nevena83 I sometimes fry eggs. Lately I've been keeping hard boiled eggs around as well.

@TheHorse Angus Roast Beef from Sprouts! I normally go to Trader Joes but since we've moved its not conveniently located. It is about a 15 minute drive versus a 5 minute drive. I just go to Sprouts or Vons or Costco now. Sometimes Trader Joes.

@TheHorse You ask for the roast beef to be cut at the deli counter. :) haha

We had gluten free waffles, bacon, and coffee. I would enjoy the breakfast you had, especially without the lox.

I no longer eat pork so no ham for me. I actually had a sunny egg with some fried young canned peas and onions and a tomato/radish with sour cream salad. And then I had coffee with steam milk along with a blueberry waffle topped with with farmer cheese, cinnamon, and beach plum preserves.

@TheHorse Because hubby keeps kosher. Well sort of. No pork or shellfish. So out of respect to him I gave all that up.

@CookieMonster46 How are they going to get the stone out? I've never had one of those, even though I drink too much coffee. Does the ice cream, toast, and soup (what kind?) taste OK? Andersen's Pea Soup is one of my comfort/tummy ache foods.

Tea with milk and sugar. 'Cause I wanted to be early in school since it was the first day with regular teaching, and making something I want to eat in the morning takes too much time. Didn't manage to get there early 'cause I spent 15 minutes searching for the keys to my car ...

@TheHorse In school they're 15 to 19 and in the university 19 to around 30. The students I met today were quite awake and aware of their surroundings! Which is good, they're training to be teachers for 1. to 7. grade. Pupils yesterday also not too bad, once their smartphones were stuffed away
