Sisyphus and breakfast
I woke up all fuzzy this morning. When you are as hairy as I am, every morning is literally fuzzy, but this fuzzy was more figurative. I stretched lazily under the covers, postponing the whole waking for a half hour by playing with Bear. We have this game that involves me grabbing her paws and batting her head with her own paw. It's the canine version of "Stop hitting yourself!" She loves it.
I finally roll out of bed, boxers akimbo, doing the whole chest-scratching thing, tracing a Family Circus path to the bathroom. I read the Onion in the bathroom, feed the dog on the way to the kitchen, and put on the kettle for some tea.
It always happens on Saturdays. Monday through Friday are fiercely regulated days, revolving around the priority of not being late to school. The pattern never deviates, as I definitely don't do my best thinking in the mornings. Every weekday morning has the same breakfast- real oatmeal, mixed with fruits, honey, and soy milk. Healthy, healthy, healthy. While the oatmeal heats up, the water boils, the tea is started, I compile the healthy lunch for school, fill up the water bottles, blah, blah, blah.
Saturdays are bursting with weird food opportunities.
I decided on biscuits and gravy, the center of the biscuit filled with jelly. Oven set approximately 450, Bisquick out.
Damn. No eggs.
Ooh! I have fake eggs! Frozen.
Omelette? Duh, no eggs.
Chocolate covered blueberries? Maybe for dessert.
Ummm, toast with every imaginable topping? Maybe.
The finished plate has four pieces of toast with the following combinations:
1) Peanut butter/ jalapeno jelly courtesy of mom
2) Peanut butter/ Miracle Whip courtesy of my dad's hunting trip cooking
3) Almond butter/ Nutella
4) Almond butter/ honey
I did discover by mixing the post-eating frenzy sludge that Nutella and Miracle Whip have an interesting taste, Miracle Whip and jalapeno jelly do not. Back to eating healthy tomorrow, but no idea for next Saturday. Blini, perhaps.
