Breakfast or no breakfast?

Do you eat breakfast? I never use to, and then sometime a few years back, when I was supervising in a rehabilitation center for mentally and physically disabled adults, I started. Mostly because I sometimes didn't get to eat lunch........because of meetings, or feeding the clients.....it was just a given fact. So I started eating a bowl of cereal........and there are some good cereals out there too. Of course the grandchildren like the colorful and crammed jammed marshmallow type...........oh man, can't handle those at all. I have introduced Rice Krispies to all of them and amazingly they all seemed to like them........now I don't think they would chose them over the sweet stuff, but at least I tried.........tee hee.

Breakfast for me lately has been wonderful. My daughter came home with bags of frozen fruit. Oh man, you can mix and match, or just eat one kind.........take those little dudes out of the freezer, put a wee bit of artificial sweetener on them, pop the bowl into the microwave and yum.......this along with cinnamon toast and I think I am eating like a queen.
Now we don't seem to have coffee unless it's on the week-ends anymore..........but this is how my coffee looks
just like this........that wonderful shade of beige, and trust me I have a flavor of some sort going on with it..........oh my, yum-dilly-ish-us!!!!! Oh, another thing that I love for breakfast and we seldom do it, as you have to plan it the night before, is that french toast that you bake in the oven........ours doesn't quite look like this one, and I will see if I can find the recipe and share it..........but it is to die for.
Last Saturday morning, my sil took us all out to breakfast at I HOP..........a restaurant that I like, as does my oldest grandson...........now my daughter really dislikes this place, but that's another whole story in itself. Well I am wandering again, aren't I.........they have this special going on, and one of the choices is the carrot cake pancakes.............oh my, they were melt in your mouth wonderful.........a combo of carrot cake and pumpkin pie spices................sadly I ate my eggs and hash browns first (don't like cold eggs) and so by the time I got to the pancakes I was pretty full..........but I think I actually did a few moans of delight while I was eating them.........yeah, they were good.
So do you eat breakfast? Come on share with us if you do or don't and tell us what you like to eat.

I read your comment on Joanne Kennedy's "my little cottage in the making" and would love to hear your "weird" thoughts on the nuclear power thing.
.. I should have never surfed over to your blog.. now I'm hooked. Love your writing and wramblings. Your personality sure shines through and I love it when people can do that with words.

it's not a radical way out there type of thing, but just not something that I share all of the time......
