What's for breakfast (2026)

Breakfast when most peeps have lunch :upside_down_face:

Another delightful taco flight from our favorite place.

The Cajun shrimp were particularly skrompshiss today: plump, juicy, perfectly seasoned & abundant. The pork was very good, and the brisket was lardy, meaty heaven in a tortilla :drooling_face:

Tim Hortons has pastel de nata on their menu now, so I braved the frigid Arctic temps and waddled my arse down there this AM to try it. The tart was kinda meh if you’ve ever had a real pastel de nata, which I’ve have. My expectations weren’t set very high so my disappointment wasn’t a total surprise. Would def not order again, but the apple fritter was decent when quickly warmed up in the MW so not a total waste of time.

That sounds kinda fancy for Timmies. Glad to hear the fritter was acceptable.

I’m wondering if a local Portuguese bakery is making them for Tim’s, and if so I have to remember to never buy anything from them them :sweat_smile:

Saturday’s brunchy Strammer Max aka eggs like they were meant to be eaten: fried, with a perfect runny yolk, perched atop a slice of toasted bistro bread that’s been shmeared with cream cheese & covered with a coupla slices of rosemary ham & a slice of havarti.

this is the sourdough oatmeal. been cooking a batch weekly and keeping in the fridge. mix in nuts and either dried fruit or some chopped granny smith.

also good with some butter and brown sugar — just like mommy made.

I don’t think so, they’re also available at rural Tim Hortons locations, with 0 Portuguese people nearby.

They’re definitely not made in house :sweat_smile:

I’m glad I didn’t take one for the team lol

My expectations weren’t high, so the disappointment factor was low. It wasn’t horrible, but I’ve had way better.

Bronchy Sonday breakfast with the last of the OM bacon plus TJ’s applewood smoked, which cooked a bit unevenly. Scramblees with local eggs from a fellow musician & an abbondanza of prezzemolo :face_savoring_food:

My PIC decided to make himself an EBC bagel. Didn’t suck, either, if a little awkward to eat — as evidenced by this hot mess of a plate :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Two wee Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits with my morning Ensure. I was thrilled that they tasted normal - my tastebuds evidently are continuing to recover. Plus I had some honey dew melon.
Note they are done in the microwave and turn out surprisingly well. Better living through chemistryTM I guess.

It’s essential in our every day lives to be able to taste & enjoy the foods we eat. Otherwise, we’re merely existing.

Taste is also a memory trigger that can be unexpectedly profound, hopefully in a good way.
