Hi Dale,
RH> Breakfast is usually easy do for us. Steve will do a variety of
RH> things--cereal, eggs, pancakes, waffles, etc. I usually stick to a
RH> bagel (half), small cup of yogurt. bit of cheese and a cuppa tea.
RH> Subject to change but that's my usual breakfast at home.
DS> Our usual breakfast at home is nothing (unless we are getting up extra
DS> early for some reason). We are late night people and don't go to bed
DS> before well after midnight and don't get up until afternoon.
I used to be more of a night owl, especially in college. Breakfast at
the dining hall only went to 8 am so most of the time I had a cuppa tea
or glass of Tang in my room instead. Sometimes a munchie to go with it,
sometimes not. Steve got me into eating a regular breakfast after we got
married; it usually wasn't much more than the college version until I
was expecting our first. Then it was tea and toast before getting out of
bed, then later on in the day, after my stomach settled down, a bit more
of something.
My mom always served just cereal (cold in summer--after school got out
in June, hot in winter--from Labor Day on), bread and jelly, juice and
milk for breakfast. Things like pancakes, eggs, etc were for lunch or
Sunday night meals. My parents always made us take a piece of bread for
breakfast under the "reasoning" that "you'll never know when you'll eat
again". Thing is, most often we did as school lunch was a set time,
weekends and holidays, Mom served lunch at a fairly standard 12:15 (or
within a few minutes of it).
