When and what I eat can vary, including nothing.

I often eat a pancake with jelly, sometimes an egg on top.
Sometimes over easy eggs, frozen ham, frozen Hash brown squares.

For a deluxe, eggs, bacon, flat home fries, toast & butter, jelly, mini
pancakes, cut tomatoes, and orange juice.

I could never really figure hash browns, they suck.

Honey whole wheat toast. Every morning. I will be adding back in some
gelled chia seeds, hemp hearts and flax seeds.

I love pancake but again usually on weekend where i have more time to
prepare.

MacDonalds here have the same breakfast menu -- pancakes with hash browns.

Standard "Monk's breakfast" as Bryan called it. Chopped up ham, home
made "baked" beans and brown rice, and a mango.

Mangos were particularly ugly this week, but this morning's mango was
ugly buy delicious! :-)

I had a corned beef and pastrami omelette the other day. Not bad at all.

I get the frozen quinoa from Trader Joe's. There's some chopped peaches in
it. I add a little juice. The juice makes it "tropical".

I have brunch, very rarely is it anything that needs cooking/heating.
I typically have left overs (cold from the fridge), or a cold cut
sandwich... today it was ham n' mustard on dago bread.

We eat a hot breakfast every day, but I have to be awake for a couple of
hours before I can eat. We have eggs in some variety almost every day,
but my favorite breakfast is a cheeseburger and fries.

Cooking hash browns takes patience. Grate the potatoes into a kitchen
towel, and using that towel, squeeze the water out of them. Season with
s&p, add the potatoes to a hot, greased & buttered skillet, press them
down firmly into the pan, lower the heat, then wait. This is the part
that takes patience, because the potatoes have to cook for at least 5
minutes before you can turn them.

It varies. This am, it was a slice of grilled Canadian Bacon, a scrambled egg, made into a sandwich on a whole wheat hamburger bun. OJ. Some cucumber slices on the side.

Other mornings, it's peanut and apple butter on w w toast, cottage cheese.

Winter: it's a 3 way cereal blend ( oatmeal, cream of rice or wheat and grits) with plain yogurt, cinnamon and applesauce.
Or steelcut oats ipo the 3 way blend.

It's a whole other story when traveling - ugh, white bread toast, barely pliable bacon, cheapo jams, rockhard bagels --our health is in serious danger when on the road for any length of time, unless staying at a 5 star joint..

I'm retired and have coffee too (2 big mugs, black) but I don't eat
until at least an hour later. I probably get out of bed earlier than
most working people, cats don't know retired, they wake me at 5 AM and
I had better get out of bed and feed them by 5:30 or one by one they
start singing horrid notes incessantly and they don't stop until they
see my feet hit the floor. So tell me about this boiled egg, hard,
soft, medium... I doubt I would ever go through the trouble of boiling
just one egg ever, certainly not first thing in the morning... in fact
I never boil less than a full dozen... I like cold hard cooked eggs,
sliced, on toast, a little mayo, and many other ways. Did you ever
think that while you're cooking one egg to cook a batch to get you
through the work week, or don't you like cold hard cooked eggs... I
actually prefer hard cooked eggs cold. Sometimes I'll cook enough to
fill a half gallon jar and pickle them, do you live alone? LOL

We aren't retired but our office is in our home. I love the 35 foot
commute... including the side trip to the kitchen to pick up the coffee.

We get up very early and are usually at the desk by 7 AM.... breakfast
at 8. Sometimes we are still working at 9 PM but we generally quit by 6
PM. Other times it gets slow enough for us to go out for lunch and a
movie. Been in this business for 19 years... the first 5 in a store
front. Working at home has spoiled me.

I used to do the bacon and egg breakfast once in a while when I was
working. Then I worked with a crew who liked to go out for breakfast,
so first thing in the morning we stopped for "coffee".... bacon and
eggs. They never did sit well with me and I switched to cereal and fruit.

I have been retired for 8 years now and breakfast is typically either
some type of porridge or a bowl of Shredded Wheat with fruit, banana or
berries.

I do about 8 eggs at a time when I boil eggs. That way I have some
for breakfast if I have time and also some to put in to
a salad to take to work. And yes I live alone.

When I worked, I often got a donut and coffee out at the food truck. The
truck shut down and often just got coffee at cafeteria. Later, I would grab
a handful of dry cereal and coffee for breakfast. Now, sometimes I'll get
some alcohol and go back to bed.

I have been wondering, what if I scramble two eggs and keep adding complete
pancake mix, until it becomes a pan/egg ??

The breakfast of choice for folks 70+ here in Hawaii is oatmeal and
papaya. I don't know why it is but that's what my years of experience
with old people is. This means something.

I suspect that this is true on the mainland too. They probably don't eat
papaya but I'm betting that the oatmeal is accompanied with something to
aid digestion. Oatmeal will probably be pretty commonplace on menus soon.

There is a greasy spoon in our town that has oatmeal on the breakfast
menu. I was stunned at the price.. IIRC... $3.75. That is almost as
much as they charge for bacon and eggs. Given that it costs only a few
pennies to make a serving of oatmeal I thought that was outrageous.

I have had no problem leaving out plenty of dry cat food. That mostly
alleviates waking up to cats, but perhaps getting up does the body and mind
some good.
The cats do come around at dinner for their portion of fancy feast.

That does sound a little high - it's probably about right for my town
but it seems high for the mainland. My daughter had some oatmeal for
breakfast at Denny's this morning. It came with a couple of oz of milk
and a good amount of brown sugar on the side and some dried, sweetened,
cranberries. It cost $1.29. Hey come to think of it, next time, I'm
gonna get some oatmeal at Denny's! That's even cheaper than the biscuits
and gravy for $2.

on a work day 2 small cake donuts with a dark chocolate shell coating.
supremely satisfying for years.

on a weekend often a grilled egg and cheese poppy seed coated sandwich.
last time I put three ultrathin large pepperoni rounds in it
also-excellent with the egg and small amound of cheddar.

I was surprised when McDonald's put oatmeal on their menu. The
marketing department there does a lot of research before doing
ANYTHING... so they must be confident that there is a demand for it.

It's probably 40% sugar.

It doesn't surprise me. Some other junk food vendors have been adding it
to their menus as well. Perhaps it is designed to attract customers who
would normally avoid their restaurants because of the unhealthy food
options. It can also be very profitable. Oats are relatively cheap,
especially when purchased in volume. The oats that go into a serving of
oatmeal costs pennies. Put it in a pot of water, boil it for a while
then spoon it out. Add a little milk and sugar, a few more pennies, and
you can mark it up 1000%. Makes good sense to me. Then the person who
bought the oatmeal gets a coffee to go with it, another very profitable
sale.

Yep - I'm a geezerette. Hey, I rushed myself many a morning to a job - now I can make a decent b'fast, loll about with the paper etc. But even in my working days, I managed a bowl of cereal and juice.

If I were still working, I sure wudn't hv a spare minute to be reading ngs.

I have kibbles out 24/7 but my cats are used to Fancy Feast for
breakfast, but probably it's more that if they're up and about they
want me up and about too. The thing is right after eating their Fancy
Feast they trot off to bed.

I seriously doubt that, I've never seen any eatery serve pre sugared
oatmeal... where would they even buy such a product... oatmeal is 100%
oats, I've only seen individual packets of instant oatmeal that is
sold flavored, and probably nowadays contains artificial sweetener.
Oatmeal can seem pricey at restos because there can be a lot of waste,
the folks who buy it pay for all that gets tossed out, some days very
few will buy oatmeal but they still need to prepare an adequate amount
in case it sells that day... that's the main reason all resto foods
are priced what seems inappropriately high.... like with any business
the consumer pays for waste.

A very nice way to prepare oatmeal is with tea rather than plain
water... were I to order oatmeal at a resto (I wouldn't) I'd bring a
baggie of instant oatmeal and order a large container of tea and mix
the two. I don't order oatmeal out because I don't like how watery
they prepare it... I like old fashioned oatmeal that needs to be
cooked, at home I make pin oats/steel cut oats, and I like it thick,
like cement... I usually add a pat of butter and a spoon of dark brown
sugar, I don't like cinnamon in cereal.

For some reason, there seems to be a trigger in our bodies that make us
crave oatmeal when we reach a certain age. I've known this for quite a
while and have been trying to come up with a way of making some money
from this but am plum(b) out ideas.

Thanks for the laugh. :-) I started work at 10:00am, but I would wake
up at 5:00. At night, I would wash a load of laundry, then I would dry
them in the morning, fold the clothes or hang them up. I made lunch for
my husband and children, then I cooked breakfast for everybody, clean up
the kitchen and load the dishwasher. I would begin preparing dinner, or
do as much as I could that morning.

It can be bottled but someone has already beat you to it. In Chicago
metro there's a boutique distillery that does single malt single grain
whiskeys. One of their products is whiskey made from 100% oats. It
tastes pretty good. Not much of a match for the subject line about
breakfast though.

The mix produced a pan/egg, but just ok. Was thick and chewy. I'll try it
with just a little mix to make it fluffy. As far as the pan/egg, I would
rather have a pancake with egg on top.

I don't eat breakfast, never have. My DH has granola with soy milk and
of course coffee I have 2 cups of great coffee and out the door to
walk 4 miles and back home to work all day- been self-employed for 20
years and certainly not retired. Love our life.

I do like to read about breakfasts tho, and enjoy it on trips.

aloha,

The other day, I heard a politician say that women's bodies have an
autonomic response that enables them to eject rape babies.
