omnivorette Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I try to save drippings whenever I roast a chicken (assuming I don't need the drippings for the roasted chicken preparation). So this morning I took a spoon of solidified chicken drippings, heated in a pan, threw in some freshly chopped parsley, and scrambled some eggs in it. The chicken fat was full of flavor - garlicky, a little lemony, herby...great. Ate with a piece of lightly toasted ciabatta from Balthazar (bought last evening) with Ben's Butter, and a sliced heirloom tomato from Eckerton at the greenmarket. Coffee blend these days is Cafe du Monde and the Agata & Valentina house blend mixed together. 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GavinJones Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 So fickle. I started today with a kipper - it will be another 6 months before it seems like a good idea again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ms J Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I had a cafe latte. Then at 11:30 I ate around five little dried-shrimp-with-chile-and-rice-paper-wrapper snacks from the jar on my coworker's desk. They were very moreish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cathy Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Today I had toasted sourdough topped with mozzarella, roasted red peppers, fleur de sel and basil. Coffee is Kenya AA from Fairway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
omnivorette Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 Miss J - moreish ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ms J Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 omni - "moreish," as in "very easy to eat more." They were quite delightfully crunchy. They were also quite Chinese-Malaysian. Apparently the chile is what makes them non-traditionally Chinese. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

clb Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Waitrose organic muesli (very boring) with lots and lots of raspberries and blueberries. Orange juice. Monmouth Coffee House coffee - can't remember which sort H bought. clb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Monmouth Coffee House coffee - can't remember which sort H bought. clb Try the Dorset Farmer (or whatever it's called) muesli next time you're in Waitrose. They have different variants, and it's not at all bad. I like the high-fibre version, it's pleasingly toasty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vanessa Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I'm not a natural breakfaster. Did have toast with butter and Marmite somewhere near lunchtime today. v Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Adam Lawrence Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I'm not a natural breakfaster. Did have toast with butter and Marmite somewhere near lunchtime today. v Nor am I, but I force myeslf whenever possible. I really don't like eating first thing, but if I don't, at some stage of the morning I end up feeling like I could eat a scabby horse. The inevitable upshot of this is a bacon butty run at about ten o'clock. Which is very tasty, but is the death of all my good intentions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abbylovi Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Smoked trout w/ sliced tomatoes. Coffee is (ahem!) WNYC Radio Roast that is beaten beyond recognition with the addition of sugar, vanilla coffee creamer and milk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
