Ahhh...weekend breakfast @ home. What did you have?
Hubby & I had a ratherish decadent breakfast to start the day! Admittedly I stopped for the sourdough bagels on my home from my AM aerobics class, but the remaining ingredients I pulled from my fridge a smidgen here & a scrap from there. Check it out, toasted sourdough bagel with cream cheese, lox, and ikura (salmon roe). Bliss.

A breakfast with the luxury of time means one thing to me: HASH BROWNS. Parboil starchy potatoes, freeze them slightly to firm them up, coarsely grate and immediately fry with plenty of fat and salt over low and slow heat. Fried up a batch last weekend with eggs over easy, spicy sausage gravy, and buttermilk biscuits (from a can, sadly).

Crispy Wright Bacon, Scrambled Eggs with lots of LA Hot Sauce, grits with butter, s&p, fresh tomato slices and a toasted English Muffin topped with orange marmalade, coffee...all lovingly prepared by my better half--and he never cooks so it was utterly indulgent.
Fried up the leftover grits for breakfast this morning....delicious!

Savory oatmeal. Topped with bacon, sauteed carrot, peanuts, bamboo shoots in chile oil, hunanese salted chiles, splash of soy sauce, white pepper and a fried egg.

Saturday breakfast in bed, watching the Olympics. Took the leftover boiled red potatoes from last night's dinner and chopped them into bite sized chunks. They got a quick pan fry with onion and butter, until they were golden and a touch crispy on the outside. Added in a few beaten eggs, salt pepper, ton o dill. Perfect with a small piece of sourdough toast, a dab of ketchup and a large cup of coffee.

A quick bowl of muesli on Saturday morning before heading out at 6:15am to meet my running buddies - can't wait for cooler days so we can push the start time back. After the run, French toast and bacon at the diner.
Got to sleep late on Sunday, and enjoyed an English muffin with ham and cheese, and a bowl of watermelon.

Visiting friends who cooked my birthday breakfast of black beans, chicken mole tamale, fried egg, white nectarines, ripe tomato and coffee-orange juice-grapefruit juice with toasted bread — this was after a late night dinner at home opening six bottles of wines, tapas of marinated potato slices, green stuffed olives, guacamole and rustic breads; gazpacho, zucchini and tomato, black beans, grilled skirt steak and flan with a fresh raspberry sauce and coffees. Truly, it tastes better when you don't have to cook ;^)

The usual (if I'm feeling indulgent): a dutch baby in my #5 cast iron skillet. It's quick to put together in my morning stupor and then it bakes while I have my first cup of tea and "hatch." I try to steer clear of grains most of the week, so a modest 1/3 c. of white whole wheat flour feels like a splurge.

Aged chedder, mushroom, ham and chive omelette that my husband made for me. Accompanied by a rock-hard nectarine, just the way I love 'em. I hate it when they have any give.

One of the bonuses of living alone is that when you come up with weird food, there's no one there to go, "Ewwwww..." The other bonus is that there's no one spearing the particularly plump morsel you've been eying but weren't fast enough on the draw. The downside is there's no one there to fetch the coffee refills. Anyway, I was bored with just about anything I thought of for breakfast this morning, so I made a "salad." Quartered marinated artichoke hearts, diced Medjool dates, quartered Campari tomatoes, pitted Kalamata olives, and stuffed Manzanilla olives. Add a toasted Thomas' English muffin kissed with organic ghee and a steaming large mug of espresso thick with crema and I'm purring. Some Bola Sete guitar wafting through the sunlight streaming through the breakfast room windows, and all is right with the world. Sometimes an unconventional change is just good for the soul!
