    Who is eating the protein shake every morning? and who is her lucky man?
  • Not the good stuff that Sam makes, but it sure beats the old chocolate bar and a soda I used to have for breakfast.
  • xtc: other, tea and cookies. Mmm...chocolate chip cookies dipped in tea. Mmm...tea.
    • I was speed reading over the page to see if there were any interesting ones and I saw xtc which is a common abbreviation for ecstacy (MDMA). I was wondering what kind of job you have that you can go to work rolling every morning. ;-)
      • Frankly, at this point I probably COULD go to work on MDMA and still outperform my manager at this whole sysadmin thing.

        I've been at work while sick with a fever since Tuesday, including one late-night page-in, because my manager has declared that he gets pre-emptive right to call out on sick days but SOMEONE has to cover the office at all times.

        He doesn't sound sick when he calls in, according to the receptionist.
  • Breakfast for me varies quite a bit, depending on location and company (from me alone, to a big family-at-a-cottage event)
    [ ] last night's dinner leftover
    [ ] pieces of bread with mackerel in tomato and fried onions
    [ ] hard-boiled egg and caviar
    [ ] hot cheese+sausage+tomato sandwich (almost like a quick pizza)
    [ ] Nothing at all
    [ ] Egg and Bacon
    [ ] Bread, jam, egg, coffee, goat-cheese.
  • Though I tend to eat enormous lunches, too. I am italian, ya know...
    • i had an italian friend whose mother referred to her cooking as the original "power breakfast." It consisted of toast, coffee, juice, pancakes, and a four-egg omelette. You could ask for a two-egg omelette, but you wouldn't get it. You'd get a four-egg omelette. If you asked for a five egg omelette, you got TWO two egg omelettes.

      Her kids, trying to control their weight, resorted to having hungry friends drop by every morning.

      My baby brother's breakfast takes it, though. The morning he sat down with his vat
    • One of my Aunt's jokingly referred to me as "Compost" since everyone else at the table will put what they don't want on my plate and I end up eating it.

      It was quite entertaining after we ate at Tony Packo's and I ended up putting away 4 hungarian chili dogs.

      Entertaining cause I locked the Windows on the trip back to the house. ;)

      You think normal chilidogs give you gas? Instead of a hotdog, use hungarian sausage. It tastes better, anyways. Tony Packo's rules.

  • I don't eat before 11:00 am. Just doesn't happen. Unless we're talking about those 3 am "sleep walking" food binges.
    • oddly enough i'm going to have to go with the b option as well. should that be a surprise?

      really... i wake up in the morning feeling sick. i know its just my blood sugar running low and that i should actually be forcing myself to eat *something* but alas, i don't dare.

      but man... when that magic hour strikes... don't be between me and my something-to-eat. yes, i'm a vegetarian... but i will also try anything once... even if that includes a hand or a foot, ear... whatever.. just keep clear :)

      hehehe... nah, it
  • cold pizza if we have it. otherwise cereal or maybe a bagel. if we are out of those things then maybe toast with jam or something like that.
  • When I've nothing in-house or need to eat on-the-run, it's a slice or two of bacon breakfast pizza.

  • Geckos eat bread. Lots of it. Toast, bagels, and whatever else can be found that is breadlike.

    Ok, so maybe it's just this gecko.

  • Hhhhhhhhhmmmmmm Pancakes!

    I worked with an attorney once upon a time whose family motto (he was of old Scottish stock) was "May the blood of our enemies run at our feet." FWIW he is the coolest attorney I ever worked for. We almost had a chance to work together again after my move up here, but his roots were too firmly planted to make the leap:-(

  • During the week, Java) is mandatory and getting up early enough for o) means I don’t have to eat sugary crap out of the vending machine. On the weekends, a full and proper breakfast is prepared no matter when I wake up and the coffee bong is given a good workout.
  • 1st breakfast, 5am: chewy granola bar. I have to eat the moment I get up, otherwise I'm all crazy and bitchy by the time I get to the office... and I don't like to frighten my fellow employees.

    2nd breakfast, 7am: string cheese, no-sugar-added applesauce, tea

    3rd breakfast, 9am: Zone bar, more tea

    Ask in a couple of weeks, and it will probably be something different... two months ago it was strictly bagels at the office, but I didn't live so far away then, and I could get to the office before the bitchiness st
  • My thyroid hormone replacement has a warning on the label. "Take at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating." Which means take it in the morning, 'cuz you'll forget if you don't, and you can forget about ever getting breakfast again. By the time I can have breakfast, I'm at work. Lunch is whatever I can afford, which is close to nothing lately. Dinner is whatever is a)left over in the fridge, b)not too much work to make, or c) my mother made and left some for me.
    And I am currently too damn tired to

    It's müsli, with milk. Or yoghurt, if I happen to have any. No milk means no müsli -- dry ceral makes my mouth dry. So if there's no milk in the fridge, I'll make cheese (and maybe ham) sandwiches instead. With rye bread.

    Oh, by the way, I almost forgot the most important part. Tea. No breakfast is ok, but I've got to have my tea. Because if I can't have my green tea in the morning...but no, I'd rather not talk about it.

      I think you're going to be the first victim of the great penguinette breakfast burglary... ;-)
  • ...I'm actually close to eating breakfast almost regularly. I do a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich on toast at about 9-10 a.m. most days of the week.

    The whole thing came about when I had this batch of like 2 lbs. of strawberries that I didn't get to use at a party. I didn't want to dehydrate them, because that was the way I once ended up eating about 3/4 lb. of dried strawberries at a sitting once [burp]...

    Anyway, I decided instead to try my hand at making strawberry jam. Then the next day I found some
  • Usually an English Muffin, toasted with butter. Dear wife sometimes tries to make it "more exciting" by adding jelly or cream cheese, but I prefer just plain butter.

    Twice a week or so, I might also have eggs, but that means I woke up early and have time to kill.

    • Similar here: toast with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, and tea. The big recent change was a wife-ordered switch from Canadian white bread to multigrain.
  • Fixed by my lovely wife. I'm really quite lucky. :-)

    "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper" is our practice.

    Except on weekends. Sometimes we go out to eat, but usually just forage through the leftovers.

  • They were blueberry. And warm and thick. Very tasty. I have since recovered from them.
  • Caffeine, carbs and capsules.

    The caffeine is usually supplied by Diet Coke, either as many cans as I can fit in my hands, or one enormous mug's worth that is all but certain to be refilled. I often go back for seconds on the cans too...

    Carbs: I always start with brown sugar & cinnamon Pop Tarts. Frosted, not plain. It's a serious habit. The great part is, you can pack them easily and eat them just about anywhere. Two Pop Tarts, some Coke and some trail mix and I can be out the door and rolling 30 mi

  • first the coffee, then the protein drink, then snack on most anything I can find until lunch.... yep, my breakfast lasts about 4 hours.

    Java, yes. As for the backing away slowly...theres' nothing I could do about it if ya backed away quickly, so if you're pouring the coffee you get to choose the tempo. Thank you.
  • See subject.

    x) Coke, glass of milk, glass of juice, and a cigarette.

    It should be noted that Breakfast is eaten sometime between noon and 5pm (about 45-90 minutes after I wake up).

  • My choice: Java.

    It's rare that I eat anything before noon, and even then, lunch is almost forced on me. I tend to eat once a day, usually late in the day, if I'm hungry.

    Did I mention that my coffe cup-of-choice is either of two? One is a 24 oz mug. The other is 52 oz. No lie.
