Brioche and coffee for breakfast - how to make a happy me.
What did you all have for breakfast, and did it make you happy?

1. Apple Jacks yesterday.
And it did not make me happy. I wanted Crunch Berries.

3. Can't say that I'm familiar with either
But I know how much it can upset one's whole day when the desired breakfast does not appear. :(

8. They are both junk cereals.
No true redeeming value-just lots of sugar. But Crunch Berries taste really good even w/o milk-just grab a handful and munch away.

9. Junk cereals taste wonderful at the time
And give you a stunning sugar high - the problem starts about an hour later when it suddenly wears off.

10. Exactly.
Miss Honeychurch and I have decided to work on our eating habits, even though we are quite a distance from each other. I think we both decided that since we are now 30 it's time to clean up our acts.
That means no more Crunch Berries for me. I need to learn to eat more naturally. I want a long life.

5. Sounds ideal then.
If you like it and it's good for you, then you know you're onto a winner.

11. Eggs Hussard or Grillades and Grits
at Commanders Palace in N'wawlins.

That would make me happy.

But, since I'm in Fargo, ND, I'll have to settle for raisin bran

12. North Dakota to Louisiana for breakfast does strike me as a tad far
I hope that your raisin bran perks you up somewhat nonetheless. :hi:

17. Well, we're talking about Commanders
It's almost worth it.

Um, I forgot the Turtle Soup.

13. I was going to make a Swiss and mushroom omelet...
and a pot of Sumatran Lintong coffee.

But, I got lazy and grabbed an ice cream sandwich out of the freezer and a bottle of Coke.

I'm happy.

16. tomato juice
Tomato juice with a bit of Tabasco and fresh lemon. On top, chopped chives and parsley and some fresh-ground pepper.

Still laughing over TreasonousBastard's post.
