I'm a boring garlic hummus and rye crispbread guy, with a once in a while
yogurt of some sort.

When I am going for protein I like Egg Beaters or All Whites with Boca
sausage patties, served with a smoky hot sauce like Tabasco Chipotle or
Chalula. This is as good as the real thing (eggs * sausage) with far
less fat and calories, and the whole thing can be done in the microwave
for easier cleanup.

When I am going for more of a mix of protein and carbs I am pretty
boring, either cereal or something creamy (cottage cheese or yogurt)
with fresh fruit like berries tossed in.

Garlic hummus with rye crisps sounds delicious!

Poe,

I'm an eggbeaters fan too! A cholesterol thing.

Hadn't thought about the Boca sausage patties. I'll look at a box. I am a
seasoned Cholula fan!!!

Yep, my diet is boring compared to the ordinary human being.

I get the garlic hummus dip at TJs. They also make a decent pesto, in a
tub. Almost as good as mine (theirs doesn't include pine nuts). Crackers by
Kavli.

Best,

Andy

I would nominate crepes filled with yogurt and fruit and a little honey
drizzled over the top. It is a great thing to do if you have leftover
crepes, but too time consuming to do in the morning, unless you are
organized enough to make the batter the night before.

Dave Smith,

For a brief moment in time I made savory crépes for the general public.
Chef's hat and all!

Lost future interest in them, around about 1975. One can only injest so
many Monterey jack cheese & spinach crépes on a regular basis before it has
some irregular "less than pleseant" effect!

Best,

Andy

I love ... eggs beaten then cooked in butter with just a little bit of diced
ham tossed in at the end, for flavor and texture and contrast. A side of
crispy hash browns with Daisy sour cream on the side is nice with this.

Eggs over easy with buttered whole wheat toast.

BOJANGLES sausage, egg and cheese biscuit!

I might have salad or yogurt and blueberries later in the day, but I want
the first meal to be a gooooood one.

Ah, that was the time of the crepe craze. Did you make the crepes
them on upside down crepe pans? Can't remember the name of that chain
now. It wasn't a breakfast spot.

Is... Oh, I just noticed that sig line and thought of the
intestinal "spackle" commercial....

Anyway... Is this something one is apt to make every day? If
not... Eggs Benedict (with TART Hollandaise Sauce)--or, if I am
feeling even more ambitious, Eggs Hussarde.

The only mandatory part of my everyday breakfast is coffee au
lait--and vitamins.

My all-time favorite breakfast dish is Eggs Benedict, which I have only once
or twice a year. Another fave is eggs scrambled with salsa and sharp cheddar
and wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. I also love sausage and cheese
kolaches (which are of Czech origin and popular in parts of TX).

sf,

It was called the 3Cs Cafe, just a few steps east of Euclid Ave., on Hearst
Ave. in Berkeley, CA.

I made crépes on giant flat steel grill. I'd spill out a portion of batter
and "steam roll" it out into a two foot diameter circle, let it set and
toss in ordered ingredients, then fold four ways into a rectangle, flip for
a few seconds and the plate with a spoon of Parmesan cheese (unless it was
a fruit crépe).

Next time we meet, I'll offer you one, then we can one or two Irish coffee
in S.F. and play around at the famous Palace pool hall "We Never Close"
on... Market??

Best,

Andy

I don't remember exactly - but I think it was in the Newbury
Street/Dartmouth Street area.

Now I want crepes.

Preferably made by someone else. I wonder whether anyone has
tried those crepes available in the produce department of stores?
(I don't even know whether they are still there, but I noticed
some within the last year or two....)

Occasional visit to the local greasy spoon for 'real' ham and eggs. Or
to the local bakery for fresh croissants and their excellent coffe,
with maybe a side order of bacon.

At home, just a couple of poached eggs on toast

Oh, boy, yes ,I remember that place! I think it closed though...
second or third story? Don't remember seeing it for a few years. If
you're interested, you could put a call out on Yelp and see what they
say.

I am not crazy about ham, but once in a while I like a little ham steak
with eggs. I have had to many disappointments when ordering ham and eggs
and finding that is just a thin slice of ham tube.

Where was that? It would be nice to have access to such a place
again.

Actually, back to Tracy, more recently there was a crepe place in,
IIRC, Davis Sq., Somerville, MA. I need to go see whether a) it
is in my old restaurant list, and b) whether it even still exists....

Okay, my memory was actually correct.

Mr. Crepe
51 Davis Square
Somerville, MA 02144
(617) 623-0661
This still existed as of June

Also, and I gather this is not as good:

Paris Crepes and Smoothies (aka Paris Creperie?)
278 Harvard St
Brookline, MA 02446-2917
617-232-1770
See menu he

Nice selection of crepe places snipped....

I have a friend who lives in the Davis Square area - next time I am in
the neighborhood I will have to check it out.

( I have been sitting on a recipe for dilled crepes with spinach
forEVER. Time to make them. But I just came back from vacation and I am
still on "wait on me hand and foot mode".)

I don't think I have ever attempted a crepe. Recently, I was
thinking I'd try to make Jian Bing, but I doubt I'd succeed.

My favorite very simple meal is cold leftover pizza, especially
mushroom. I brutalize all my food, and would give this a heavy shake of
red hot pepper flakes and garlic powder. Beverage of choice with that is
very cold skim milk.

sf,

Didn't we discuss the Buena Vista on chat, Geary and...? Best Irish Coffee
on earth, if you werent clost by Ireland?!?

The Palace, in my memory was famous for the Minnesota Fatts and Willy
Moscone challenges!!!

There was so much smoke in the place as I remember that it actually came
out of the front doors which were three stories dowmstars! I smoked then so
I wasn't bothered.

Never met either of the two pool sharks! Before my time.

Best,

Andy
