Ahhh you're singing my tune peter!

Mustard on a bacon sandwich? Let's not be silly.

The only thing that you can put on bacon is HP Sauce.

Now I'm hungry. But, funnily enough...bacon for dinner.

Odd thing with brown sauce Av, for sixty years I've not liked it but all of a sudden I'm starting to think that I fancy a splash. Perhaps a bacon sandwich is a good place to start!

(Had beetroot and lemon ravioli with green pesto last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Beetroot is another thing I've disliked for my entire life, but suddenly have quite taken to.)

I quite like beetroot, but only the pickled one. Not so keen on it fresh...tastes like sand.

Our shops have started selling some small interestingly coloured almost decorative varieties. They are very attractive on the plate and taste very good as well.

hahahaha .. I'm starting to think you might well be the male incarnation of me!! I love beetroot .. but I also like it fresh from the garden and steamed or roasted.

It does taste like sand or wood when its not picked at the right time - if its left too long it gets quite woody.

However, pickled beets are yum. I like them in sandwiches and on burger. Well tbh can eat them straight out of the tin.

Peter there are all sorts of interesting vegetables today - heirloom veggies - and the like of interesting colours: purples, greens, blues.

My staple vegetable is really the potato. Give me red meat and potatoes, and I'm about as happy as possible.

But this is meant to be the breakfast thread...

"Taters? Whats taters precious????"

Am a Brit at heart ..

You're a hobbit at hear Av

Taters for breakfast? mmm.. ok

Greek yoghurt on steroids! I feel I could run a marathon

:

What is is they say about tomorrows?

They never come?

No flies on you

Breaky today ham, eggs, tomato and buttered toast with an OJ chaser

Breaky is usually mornos or lunch

A coffee for mornos today

Hospital food:

Breakfast was two cheese blintzes with a raspberry coulis. They didn't have sour cream, but now that I think about it, I could have ordered the plain Greek yogurt to use in place of, rather than the scoop of cottage cheese I asked for. I also had two pork link sausages and a cup of actual Starbucks Pike Place. Breakfast impressed me.

Wow what hospital serves that kind of breaky?

Im impressed

Evergreen Health Patient Meals

I tried to find an online copy of the menu I got to choose from, as it is pretty comprehensive, but had no luck.

The food court inside the hospital provides the in patient meals, and the food court is reviewed on Yelp, so while not all of the food court options are available to patients (I would have loved the choice of pizza) the food selection wasn't bad.

Cafe 128

WOWZA That is pretty awesome .. and after all youve been through you deserve an amazing hospital with an amazing menu .. go you.

English muffin, chive cream cheese, sprinkle of bacon bits.

It occured to me too late that I ought to have added a tomato slice and perhaps some avocado from the accoutrements of last night's burgers.

Sounds good

My breaky will be vitabrits.

While I have a keto bread loaf receipt I like, it tends to make a dense loaf, and it has a strong earthy flavor, probably from the chia meal used in it. So, I am trying other recipes as well. I made a lighter keto loaf earlier in the week, and while I followed directions to reduce the egginess of it, it still came out pretty bleh. So, since the three of us have a relatively quiet day today, and I didn't sleep very well last night, I sliced up the rest of the loaf and used it to make French toast.

That was a better use for it, but the texture was still like a quiche with syrup over it.

I found yet another keto bread recipe I want to try, but it calls for using flax, which I can no longer use due to the breast cancer. I have a question in to the recipe writer, asking if chia or hemp hearts could be used as a sub, and if so, what the ratio would be. Here's hoping I hear back from her soon, as I would like to make another loaf this weekend.
