3. Damn! I love a good pancake!
I even bought an electric griddle specifically to make pancakes on. Of course it works for other things as well, but it's best for pancackes.

Yum! :9

20. Sort of goulash.
Anything with that much paprika must be Hungarian. It wasn't bad.

12. Two eggs sunny-side up
over bread buttered with fine French butter. :9

I figure this is my last healthy meal for a a couple of days before the annual onslaught of junk and party food. :P

17. It's delicious,
They add cultures similiar to cheese to the butter-churning process. As a result, their butter has a more, slightly "cheesy" background flavor. Our butter is very bland by comparison.

Your fritatta sounds good. :9

19. It was!
I happened to have 6 eggs that needed using, and some parmesan cheese left over from the baked ziti.

I like frittatas much more than omelettes. Easier to cook when half asleep! :D

24. I'll recover . . .I freaked at first because I couldn't find any bandaids
and the papertowel I grabbed when I first did it was getting pretty nasty. I finally remembered they were still in a box under the bathroom sink from when I moved.

So I was up to my waist in the bathroom cupboard, with a paper towel rapped around my damaged digit and digging for bandaids with the other hand.

I finally found 'em and didn't even make a mess :).

23. If you have some dry herbs around, you can have what I had!
Minus the parmesan, unless you have that handy as well.

Soup for breakfast? Hmmmm...

26. I don't feel like a trip down to storage to get out my
cast iron frying pan.

I could do an omlette or scramble. I have tomatos too. Broiled parmesan tomatoes sounds good.

Soup - it's a childhood thing. When I slept over at my friend Erica's house, her mom would usually feed us soup for breakfast (they were Korean) - I liked it. It's warm.

27. I used my non-stick skillet.
I wasn't feeling up to dragging out the cast iron skillet and cleaning and oiling it when I was done.

Broiled parmesan tomatoes DOES sound yummy.

Hmmmmm...the soup thing is interesting.

Breakfast involves actually getting out from under the covers.

I could try banging on the wall and see if my neighbour comes over, but I'm not sure if he can cook.

31. Homemade tropical granola
Sprinkled over cappucino yogurt and covered in fresh raspberries, an amazingly strong cup of coffee, and a slice of whole wheat toast with black currant jam.

34. Gotta conserve my gluttony for Christmas breakfast
The teric clan gatherings traditionally involve Quiche Lorraine and Bloody Marys for Christmas morning repast. (You'd be surprised how much better our presents and Uncle Primo all seem after a couple of Bloody Marys).

35. It's these things that I miss by not having siblings, and
living so far from family.

I'll just be lunching with my parental units tomorrow.

38. We'll do midnight mass together tonight
after the traditional Catholic seafood dinner. We're all liberals, educated and Italian, so...there'll be spirited conversation. Then we come home, have a grappa or a sherry, giggle a bit and go off to bed. Morning is the whole Quiche Lorraine thingamie. Presents are unwrapped. Food, drinking and spirited conversation occurs pretty much all day. At 4:00 there's the big dinner described in a previous post. (I'll look up the link and edit it in). Afterward we send the kids (nephews and nieces) up for a nap and all sit in our chairs and pretend to be awake and listening to one another.

42. Leftover pizza this morning. Tomorrow, either bacon and eggs
(made by me) or bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese (the salmon sent by my parents as a gift!).

Decisions, decisions...
