Breakfast

Coffee and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, as always.

May be a cheese sandwich later...I'm never too hungry when I wake up :dunno:

Mon-Fri - two cups of coffee and an egg sandwich from my own bread.

Sunday usually pancakes.

Two Richmond (cheap) sausages on homemade bread. I like to cook the sausages on two sides 10 mins each, then cut down lengthways and lie the part-cooked inside down in the pan for a few mins. Butter and brown sauce.

I normally do tomato sauce, but decided on a change today. Also, washed down with a Pepsi max.
 
Grits is most like polenta, if you have that over there. Polenta, which we of Appalachian descent call 'mush' is made with cornmeal, grits is made from dried ground white corn hominy.

So... If you can't get grits, make polenta (mush) in an electric pressure cooker (instant pot), eat some with butter and salt if you want, like a savory porridge.

Press the rest into a container that creates a loaf about 1-2 inches high, rectangular if possible.

Put it in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, turn it out into a cutting board, slice it the short way into half inch rectangles, the fry it in butter and oil till it's crispy and golden on the outside. Serve with butter and maple syrup.




Don't use milk in your instant pot for this, and the old fashion stovetop method is a PITA. You can use a broth if you like.

Now you just need to make some scrapple out of that cornmeal, and some cornbread, then find some farm fresh eggs.
Sounds like a huge amount of work.

This morning was 2 Irish recipe sausages, 2 hash browns, fried tomato, 1 fried back bacon, 1 slice fried bread, baked beans, black pudding, and tomato sauce. Washed down with 2 cans Fanta Orange Zero Sugar.
 
Scrambled egg on toast today -

1 slice of toast
1 large egg
1 good TSP mayonnaise
4" microwavable dish

Whisk the egg and mayo together in a bowl. Pour into the microwave dish and microwave for 40 to 45 seconds. Tip it onto the buttered toast.
 
I always think about natto over rice with mustard, or shakshuka, but I never have the time in the morning.
 
Rice a Roni was a popular breakfast dish in Japan from what I was told back in the 1980s.

For me this morning a bowl of Shredded Wheat with blueberries and low fat milk.
 
Most of a full English breakfast today -

Fried tomato, sausages, bacon, egg, beans and a splodge of tomato sauce. Washed down with 630ml of Singha Thai lager.

I like to sit and cook a half wedge of tomato in oil and butter on the lowest gas half an hour before starting anything else. I cook the sausage but then slice it down the middle length ways and sit it back in the pan. I cook the bacon so the fat crisps up, I hate stringy bacon fat. I crack the egg into a pan that has quite a bit of oil and butter in. After 30 seconds or so, I tip the pan slightly and sit the edge of the pan with the oil and butter over the flame. I then use the spatula to continuously splash the hot oil and butter over the egg to cook it from the top. Always put a knob of butter in with the baked beans when cooking, makes a difference. And a tomato sauce bottle doesn't last long in this house.

I forgot to do a hash brown, they're kept in the freezer, doh.
