Breakfast Club: Too Good...

What a great Sunday morning. Near perfect double-income-no-kids bliss.  We slept in until about 10:00am.  It had been raining all morning and it set the stage for an extended off and on sleep. We put a challenge on Mother Nature as to who could holdout longer, us or the rain; we won.  The Sun hit the balcony and then we hit the road.  Dropped off the dogs to get primped and polished and then we set off for some eats. We thought about a new place, and then decided not to tempt fate.

Two newspapers, two cup of caffeine, two smiling faces...too good.  With the celebration of Record Store Day still ringing in my ears and the night's late feast still in my belly, I took it easy on the brekky.  Went with the old standby...the fruit salad backed with two long blacks. That did the trick...that, plus a few forks of the pancakes from across the table.  The rest of the day was equally satisfying.

Eat when I'm hungry. Drink when I'm dry.  You don't need to eat the lot when you can be happy with less.

Check please.

The Breakfast Club: The Lighter Side

Some days are egg and beans days and other days...are not. My go-to breakfast when I'm hankering for a meal is: 3 poached eggs, sourdough toast with no butter and some Vegemite and sides of spinach and roasted tomatoes and on very hungry mornings, beans.  Today I had no real hunger, but I still felt like eating that big breakfast. My gut said feed me, but my brain said hold off.

Today was a "not" day. I decided to listen to the brain and hold off on the eggs & beans.  I needed a bit of something to get the day going. Today I went with the simple but rewarding fruit salad and a long black...a very strong long black.

The menu at this cafe is expansive and full of dishes that we want to try; everything looks good. You have all kinds of choices, your go-to breakfast and then you have what you head is telling you. What do you choose? Do you go for the variety?  The comfort food?  The meal for the moment?  How do you decide with so many options?  Today was my birthday (12th April) and as coincidence would have it, the table number our server gave us was "12".  I was staring at the 12 when I was thinking about "choices". 

There are many things I want to accomplish this year.  There are lots of items on my menu.  There are experiences from my past that I am going to lean on. There are choices to be made; I made one while I ate my fruit and drank my strong coffee. This year I am going to focus on the one thing that I am very good at and use it to accomplish my goals. 

Options and comfort food are good, but this year I am going to listen to my head...and my heart...and make choices that will satisfy my true hunger.

Bon appetit.

Fish-a-palooza

Can you charge a sushi restaurant with a crime if they run out of sashimi grade tuna? You can't have "chef's sashimi special" with only salmon; not so special. That just fueled my hunger to unxooked fish even more. The full plate here had twin which I devoured. Nothing like a fish-pigout to close out a weekend.
