I love marinating lamb cubes, skewering them on twigs of rosemary with the leaves, grill them, and serve them as souvlaki with tzatziki.

I bought some rosemary yesterday with the intention of using it this weekend in some sort of rub with pork or chicken. I mess around with the idea of growing herbs on the back porch, but I'm such a brown thumb.....

I've heard of that, and it sounds good. The rosemary I have won't be able to to that, the stems aren't that thick, but I should be able to place it under the chicken's skin if I grill a whole bird.

Home Depot has the pots all ready to go ,you just open it up and add water everyday.

Todays breakfast was a fried egg sammi on toasted focaccia with chipotle aoli and muenster cheese, thai iced tea to drink.

Haven't had breakfast yet, but it'll probably be either a breakfast platter from Hardee's or the old stand-by: cereal with a slice of toast (I usually spread some preserves and peanut butter on the toast).

Yep. You're to blame for that one.

Eggs over easy, and pumpernickel toast w/butter

Two eggs medium, bacon and toast. It's a good thing my cholesterol is only 140.

Wow...

Hi dlb!!

Howdy!

About to go to Ryan's. They've got the best breakfast buffet in town. Plenty of biscuits, gravy, bacon, sausage, pancakes--you name it, they got it. They even serve redeye gravy!

What's redeye gravy?

IIRC, it's made with the drippings from ham and coffee...

Trying to talk Hyperception into taking us all to Shoney's for brunch. Our Ryan's closed a while ago, and LF's post made me hungry for a breakfast buffet. No go so far...

Ah geez, I miss Shoney's! Wish our town still had one; I was too young to really appreciate it. I'd get bored and crawl under the table or draw with crayons. Or tie together the shoelaces of the "big folk."

As for today's breakfast: great! Cheese grits, pancakes, fresh eggs (they have a guy who makes them for you; he even adds ham/onion/etc. if you ask him. Oh--and the pancakes were great; not IHOP great, but then not.

The hashbrowns were good too. My dessert was fruit and cottage cheese. A healthy detour was in order after the sausage/gravy fare.

I normally have an apple for breakfast!

I used to do that too, but then I got anorexic.

Actually, I only eat a traditional/heart-killing breakfast once a week. Usually it’s more nutritious stuff, such as my granola cereal and a side of toast with peanut butter.

I've always found the idea of one of those heartkilling breakfasts more appetizing than the breakfasts themselves! It's taken me about 15 years to realise that.

*shrug* or maybe I've been going to the wrong places for my hk breakies!

IHOP's always good. As stated before, their pancakes are ambrosia to me. Just put 'em on a conveyor belt with my mouth at the end! And their various syrups, ah! Butter pecan and blueberry are my weapons of choice.

LF, does your IHOP still offer a wide variety of syrups on the table? Ours only offers four different ones now.
