day 49

Green eggs no ham breakfast. Who'd have thought that the one morning this week I actually have time to whip something special up for breakfast I am flat as one of my blueberry pancakes and cannot be assed. Had grand plans for something new from this book (which is excellent by the way). But deflated by news in the morning papers and complete disarray of contemporary Australian politics opted for green eggs. At least it's healthy, unlike the current political landscape.
MENU: poached eggs on spinach and Zeally Bay wholewheat sourdough with avocado, tomato chutney, and chives.

day 45

Yawn.
MENU: organic bananas, honey, and tahini on Dench grain sourdough, coffee

Radio killed the video star breakfast. Today's breakfast was eaten in the car on the way to do my monthly craftiverse with my HML partner in crime Ramona on RRR's Grapevine. Did an all nighter with tag team toddler wake ups. Of course, because today I had to be organised and up early. My crafting compadre described this breakfast as sad. Can't say I disagree with her.
MENU: Dench grain sourdough, avocado, coffee;

day 42

I got nothing breakfast. Drained of all but the energy it took to cook this for breakfast. Desperately hoping that it puts back some of whatever my life is sucking out at the moment.
MENU: Parmesan scrambled eggs on rocket and natural tucker sesame sourdough with chives and tomato chutney.

day 41

Easy being green breakfast. I realised this morning that the likely reason i'm so hung up on breakfast is because it's the only thing I regularly do to please myself. I'm not sure if this is a good or tragic revelation.
MENU: natural tucker sesame sourdough with avocado, Danish feta, parsley and lemon juice. Oh and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

day 38

YUM, big protein hit needed to pull through after another long night awake with sick bub. Thank god he's number two because at least I realise that he'll be better soon and all this bleary eyed and blank brain will end. In the meantime better power up the batteries with another oversize coffee. Yes barrista* that will be a triple shot.
MENU: dench light rye sourdough with avocado, poached free range eggs, and chives.
* and when I say Barrista, of course I mean me.

day 34

Eggs eleven. Thank god a little more sleep, although nowhere near enough. I know all mothers of children under five talk about is sleep or the lack of it but seriously people it's ALL we care about - even if no-one else does. Anyway, yet another three year old request for breakfast "mummy I want to try a lovely egg please" how could I refuse? You can tell I'm sleep deprived because I didn't even twig that this translates to "oh look eggs in the fridge I want one, oh look Thomas is on TV I've forgotten all about eggs and will refuse them as soon as they're on my plate". No matter, at least he used good manners while asking for them.
MENU: cheesy scrambled eggs on Dench grain sourdough with rocket, avocado and tomato chutney.

day 27

HOT HOT HOT. BURP! It's a beautiful scorching morning... summer has finally re-arrived and we're all in recovery after the mega feast yesterday. I ate three lots of dessert last night - cheesecake, trifle and chocolate pear cake so really I the last thing I should be doing is carb loading right now. Yet here I am with toast. AGAIN.
MENU: natural tucker sesame sourdough, avocado, coffee.

day 25

Today promises to be a pretty weird one, too many mismatched activities (somewhat like this breakfast) and the pressure of getting ready for a big barbie tomorrow. AND MAN ITS HOT! (unlike this breakfast).

MENU: seedless sultana grapes, cherries, old school natural tucker sesame sourdough (remember when they were the only alternative bakery in town), avocado with sumac, and coffee.

day 17

And the Golden Globe goes to... no surprises there. Or with this breakfast.
MENU: avocado on pane di casa with butter and sumac, soy latte.

day 16

Its now night time, and a long time since I ate what's above. It was hot today. To be honest I cant really recall breakfast much beyond there being screaming kids, the building of a crashing train track in the sand pit and me embarrassingly having to be told I was having a temper tantrum by my 3 year old. Not my fault the stupid bloody stupid shit head bits don't fucking go together properly when they're coated in sand. Oh yes, now its coming back to me that's why I was cranky, I'd made a delicious breakfast but by the time I sat down to eat it it was COLD AGAIN. Thank god the rest of the day went a little smoother.
MENU: Dench multi-grain sourdough, cheesy scrambled eggs with chives from the garden, tomato jam and avocado.

day 14

Fibre Plus (no not the cereal although that may get a look in later in the year) to help cleanse away the sins of yesterday. And yes Oops. Its not that I forget to post breakfast yesterday more that I was too busy with small people and flat pack furniture to find a moment to get to the computer. Still I did have breakfast. A make up breakfast if you will. Hopefully I will remember that truckloads of cream, sugar and coffee do not make for a pleasant 'family day' despite how enjoyable their consumption.
MENU: cantaloupe, cherries, sourdough with avocado and sumac.

day 3

Went scrounging the urban orchards yesterday and found plums, figs and the last of the apricots. We are very lucky to live in such an old school Greek/Italian neighborhood with plenty of well established trees and loads of variety. This year i'm keeping track of who has what and when it's coming into season so I know whose door to knock on come summer!

MENU: Fresh Figs and golden plums followed by organic sourdough with Jarlsburg and tomato.
