Grilled cornbread, chili, grated cheese, and two fried eggs.

It's been a long time

It's the last week of classes and I've constantly missing the most important thing: family. Scratch that: breakfast. This morning I ate some chocolate in bed while finishing up my work and had to wait until I had a break on campus to get a burrito. So I have no new photographs...

here's a nice present, though.

Made a bit of time this morning to make something a bit more interesting, though it was helped by ingredients I'd made on previous nights. This is: homemade chili cheddar bread, butter, homemade black bean burger, scrambled eggs (a bit extra, apparently) and Newman's Own Roasted Garlic Salsa. (though speaking of Newman's Own, this is a bummer but not unexpected: http://wcbstv.com/topstories/organic.labeling.cornucopia.2.1660070.html)

Same ol' Raisin Bran, whole milk and French vanilla yogurt, this time with bananas! Because they're going bad!


Meanwhile, Frank was all cute lying on the bed behind me.

Long absence. I'm a bad blogger. In my defense, I've been incredible busy and my breakfasts have been boring. BUT...well, here I am getting back on the horse! Naay naay!

On the left is Raisin Brain and whole milk with a dollop of French vanilla yogurt, on the right, a store-bought toasted biscuit with butter on one half and peanut butter on the other, and behind, a cup of strong black tea and orange juice from the carton.

And beyond those, my two computers, each fulfilling their role. I'm really happy that, if you look closely at the screen on the left, you can see I was studying regression analysis. Serious stuff, ladies and gents, and it requires a serious, high-fiber, no-nonsense breakfast. And a heart mug.

I woke up earlier than planned so thought I'd try something different before hitting the library. I've tried to make poached eggs a few times before and was always left with a soggy, white mess in the pot that looked more like a monotone egg drop soup. I'm always told how simple they are to make- even my roommate, a self-confessed terrible cook, can make them. This morning I was determined to master the poached egg. So, I popped on the new Tallest Man on Earth album, and...

Success! On the fourth egg. As far as I can tell I did nothing differently the fourth time around so I'm convinced it's a matter of luck. Oh well... any advice would be welcome. Served on homemade toast with spinach, grilled tomato, and cracked black pepper with some strong black coffee and orange juice.

A lonely and hungover morning, which I tried to remedy with sweet things: pancakes, strawberry jam, syrup, and lots of butter. Tea and maple milk on the side. Induced a satisfying three hour post-breakfast nap with the windows open.

Bad photo and an aesthetically failed breakfast. An attempt to make egg in the basket, or whatever it's called, with some egg overflow and an unseemly ketchup splatter. Tasted yolky and buttery though so all was well.
