do you have breakfast? what do you usually have?



I've had oatmeal and fruit every day this week

In this period I'm drinking fresh milk, a cup of black hot cawfee, chocolate and cereal cookies.

i eat scrambled eggs a lot with different sides like fries, toast, biscuits, hashbrowns, ect the normal breakfast.



...i love reheated pizza for breakfast

3/4 cup of cinnamon life, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1 cup of cawfee

i love breakfast but never get a chance to eat it. on the rare occasion that i do, i enjoy scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and a tall glass of orange juice



thats a good dinner too

that's probably like half my daily caloric intake right now, if not more

I don't eat breakfast. When I do it's something simple like toast.

I usually eat some sort of bar or cereal.

cereal (either bran + raisins + granola w/ a bit of sugar OR Captian Crunch.)

sometimes soup or toast w/ cloud berry jam.

local organic strawberry yogurt (Stonyfield Farms)

Kashi blueberry waffles with grade b dark maple syrup

cawfee

explain to me the various grades of syrup, because i don't think i've ever once seen anything besides A. i am assuming B and other subsequent syrup-grades are only available in the state of vermont or something or maybe i am just not looking hard enough



the fancy stuff is quite delicious but god damn is it prohibitively expensive

Tea and sandwich.

They are ranked by color. The B is the darker, more rich stuff. Wikipedia: Maple Syrup Grades The color outcome depends on where and when in the season the sap is collected. I'm not sure if B gets exported much because the lighter stuff (Grade A) is a bigger seller. There's a running joke around the state (and likely in most sugaring communities) that this is because the 'flatlanders' think Grade A is a quality level; we keep the good shit. It could be that or it could be that the lighter stuff is just more commercially viable being the more mild. I can't say for sure.



I agree about expensive though. This year it is quite a bit more than last year even. The sap flowed very well this year and was in abundance but price increases were mostly due to many many tap lines being damaged from ice storms we had over last winter. A lot of equipment needed to be replaced. It helps if you know people who do it.



Also, there are people scattered around the state who slow cook a ham over the period of a week in their boiling tanks in the sap. No meat juices leave the ham but sap gets into the meat. Holy fuck is that the best ham Ive ever had in my life.

learn something new every day.

yeah those ice storms were pretty savage. i flew in a few days after power finally came back on state-wide



there was still debris piled up on the roadsides everywhere when i was up back in april/may, and even still (although to a much lesser extent) just last month

:win:

I like Mass but everyone wants to fight all the time.



Ever pass through Rutland, VT?

never went quite that far up north, my brother used to live not-so-far from there just over the NH border in lebanon though! he was on the radio for a number of years and moved on to greener pastures

i like breakfast

These days it is usually some yogurt, break slices and maybe few fruits.

i don't usually have time for breakfast, so i grab a cereal bar on my way to work. to make up for it, i make breakfast for dinner once a week consisting of pancakes/waffles, sausage/bacon, and eggs/omlettes. good stuff!

who has the time to ever make that stuff for breakfast during the week plus it makes such a mess.

if you're cooking for a few people then it's not a big deal, plus they can help cook and clean.



making it for just yourself though, even in small portions is just though.

oh yes, economies of scale, how could i forget!

muesli with banana and milk

when i do unsard and make breakfast its usually scrapple, eggs and toast.
