Breakfast Wednesday 7 August 2019

Coffee & Cream.
I need to go to the grocery later. I'm not sure what I'll have this AM.

1. Black coffee

I forgot to buy milk so I'm in the doghouse with the Landlady(!). Since she has to work late, I'll make dinner as penance.

I think I'll pick up some berries on the way to work.

3. No milk for coffee? 50 lashes with the wet noodle for you hehe...she is lucky you can cook.

My hubs is a wonderful man but his epic fails in the kitchen when I was working when the kids were younger are epic family stories...like when he couldn't find soy sauce for a stir fry so used vinegar. There are more and some are even worse!

4. We both love to cook!

I learned to cook when I was in college and was so poor I had to make all my meals. A friend gave me "The Starving Artist's Cookbook" and it was filled with simple dishes and methods. It also had lots of ideas for menus, apartment care, etc. The authors were very funny and in addition to dishes such as spaghetti and meatballs, hamburgers and sandwiches, they included such gems as how to make ice cubes and filet mignon, (they wrote, "You can't afford this so make up with your parents&quot .

Years later, I got a copy of "The Silver Palette Cookbook" and it is sort of the grown up version of the earlier book.

Perhaps we could have a thread about kitchen disasters. You husbands failures sound hysterical! I know I've got a few of my own.

6. I am going to look for this book for my three daughters ...none of whom cook.

They were so funny...I don't think he tastes things like I do...I am a super taster...I make my own baking powder because I can't abide the commercial aftertaste...I shudder to think vinegar in stir fry tasted good...the kids sure didn't think so.

9. I get no benefits from this

Look at Milk Street Cookboks.
I have Grandmas self typed cookbook.
I gave all 5 nieces & nephews the Tuesday Night Cookbook from Milk Street. Worth every penny.

11. Thanks...I am going to buy them books...last week my daughter had me cook chicken Marasala

and she brought it over to the boyfriends-let him think she cooked it...now what happens when he buys the ingredients thinking she knows how to cook it?

2. Latte (homemade) oatmeal with maple and swerve sweetner...also Dietz and Watson maple turkey with

a slice of Land of Lakes low sodium cheese rolled up in it. I also had cherries. Have a great day!

[Auggie]

5. Sauteed sweetpotatoes, green pepper, red onion, tomatoes and black beans ...

on corn tortillas, topped with homemade salsa and fresh cilantro.

[Demsrule86]

7. Yum...sounds really good.

[Auggie]

10. It is ...

I've been looking for something for breakfast that's different from standard fare, is nutritious, low-calorie and something I really like. It's basically a meatless chili I cooked fresh every morning. Only takes about 15 minutes, and clean-up is easy.

Thanks for your comment!

8. apricot tart

It was last night's (no-sugar) dessert but I didn't have it, so I had it this morning. Apricots are so good when their natural sugars caramelize.
