Are you a breakfast eater?

What is your favorite breakfast food?

I didn’t eat breakfast for many years. A simple large glass of orange juice (fortified with calcium and vitamin D) served as my daily opener. I don’t drink coffee, so I’d sip at my juice while going about my morning routine — and get my supplements at the same time.

During the Covid era, it became hard to find the “right” orange juice, and I never made a replacement habit (I’m guessing it was supply chain issues) and I found other ways to get my calcium. I can’t believe how large calcium pills are, and found a chewable form instead.

Back to breakfast:

Now that the grandkids have moved in, things have changed again. I don’t even think about food until I get them to school. When they’re gone, food isn’t the first thing that comes to mind, and I certainly don’t feel like cooking. By midmorning, I might get the munchies and go in search of something to eat. The easiest thing is a bowl of cereal. We keep a variety of cereals for the boys, but my go-to remains oatmeal.

Goal update: I spent the week editing my early chapters and editing for a fellow author. I may have lost words, but I’m getting clarity on my ending. How do I explain computer networking to a 1985s audience?

  1. I have to have something different every day, I don’t think I could last till mid-morning without anything.

  2. Many, many years ago I would skip breakfast, snack during the day, and eat supper as my only real meal. I was a skinny thing back then.

  3. Breakfast ? Coffee, small, strong, then a second cup. Cups are French, dark green, stamped porcelain. Mid morning, a third. Coffee now vindicated,
    No cereals, don’t like any kind of milk., or bacon, or eggs.

  4. Milk gives me bad breath. I still use it on my cereal anyway.

  5. I used to love a nice glass of orange juice. Too much sugar/calories. I have such a low count I cut out any drinks that are more than a few calories. I will off the books drink tart cherry juice to help my gastro inflammation tho!
