What's For Breakfast...

[Vera Godfrey]

I love cakes, cookies, etc., with cream inside. Does anyone remember cream horns? Basically a pastry shell kinda in the shape of a horn chock full of vanilla cream. I had them as a kid, but even in NYC (where everything exists somewhere if you can just find it), I haven't been able to find them.

I can get them! I love those things. I don't get them often though. they are just too good!

 

[Trenchfriend]

Oatmeal and coffee, directly brewed in the mug.

A few years ago at Christmas, by girlfriend's parents bought some (we visit them every year for Christmas and they always buy a bunch of things just to have around for all of us to eat) - they hadn't had them before and I consumed about six in two days. Then, on day three, her Dad asked where all the cream horns were and I had to sheepishly say, in my belly. Hey, no one called dibs on them. We still chuckle about that one each year. And the final funny thing is, they don't remember where they bought them and ran around the following year to every bakery and grocery store they go to and still couldn't find them.

I remember those things, too. Used to see them pretty much everywhere any kind of baked goods were available. My mom was a big fon of them and often brought them home when I was growing up. Now that you mention it, though, I can't think of the last time I saw any either. I'll have to keep my eyes open next time I'm out to one of the stores with a bakery.

Instant, filtered, "turkish"-brewed, Bialetti-Mokka or Espresso-machine??

Do you have Food Lion? I've seen them there. And this won't help, but we have a locally owned grocery that stocks them too.

 

[BobHufford]

Kodiak (wheat and oat) pancakes, Amish cinnamon syrup, home cured/smoked bacon, vanilla yogurt with strawberries and blueberries, piñon coffee.

Thank you for the suggestion, but never heard of a Food Lion - drat. I really want to find them again.

Mine was a big piece of Boston Cream Pie from the same diner that had the eclairs and cannolies I posted about in the desserts thread. I tend to buy whatever has "just been baked today," so today it was Boston Cream Pie. While outstanding - just outstanding, wonderful custard filling, nice fluffy yellow cake and strong chocolate icing - they put my oversized piece (they take care of their regulars) in a plastic container that was a bit too small and the piece got a tiny bit "squashed" so I didn't want to post a picture as the diner deserves better.

Today is was a "Smothered Prime Rib Burrito" and a few cups of coffee at Chili's, 'cause it's been that kind of day.

A lazy morning means grilled cheese and tomato soup with coffee from the percolator.

Nothing wrong with a lazy morning!

I had a banana and some hummus with whole grain crackers. Workin' my way through a second pot of coffee so maybe I won't be so lazy in a little while.

Another slice of cheesecake

 

[Touchofevil]

Bacon, cheesy scrambled eggs, red garlic country potatoes, toast, and coffee while it rains outside and we watch a movie.

 

[Bamaboots]

Leftover pork loin from last night, fried eggs and tater tots.

 

[Inkstainedwretch]

Buttered bacon grits. A long life is overrated.
