So what is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast on a weekday? On the weekend?

I'll bite...heh.
Mostly I have a blueberry muffin at work with coffee. On Fridays me and a couple of colleagues have a Sausage and Egg McMuffin with a hashbrown and hot chocolate. We take turns at buying. And then occasionally, if the mood strikes me, I'll have an egg and a slice of cheese on toast down at the cateen.
I love oatmeal and then a thick slice from a french loaf of bread with butter and strawberry jam and a vanilla coffee for breakfast, any day of the week. If we have none of those things, I usually settle for a banana. :( I eat it outside in the garden or in my room with the door open, since I had to give up my car last month because the oil pump left (it was like losing a favorite family pet) and I don't have a summer job yet (they don't want me at the mill :()
Those sound like good ways to start the day, TurquoiseSunset and Juniper. Yours in particular, Juniper, sounds kind of idyllic.
I usually eat in my car (I manage to eat at may desk a few times a week) and I am thoroughly sick of it by this time of year. I get pancakes at McDonald's one day a week, an egg mcmuffin one day a week, oatmeal or yogurt from Starbucks one day a week, etc., etc., etc. My son likes kolaches from the donut shop. I don't like to cook in the morning. I have a thirty minute commute, so I don't like to wait until I get to work to eat either. I get tired of the whole feeling of being rushed in the morning, but I know enough about myself to know I am not going to get up any earlier than I have to.
Anyway, my plan is to try to find a few things to make that are very simple, (maybe blueberry muffins!) that I can take with me. As it happens, very few of my plans work out, but we'll see. I am always optimistic about them, and I always have another one lurking on the horizon. :lurk5:
I'm sorry they don't want you at the mill, Juniper, but don't fear. Someone is going to want you.
:D Thanks, Qim.Quote:

Also, besides a muffin you can also take a tub of yoghurt to work...Quote:

But on high days and holidays I love fresh fruit salad followed by scrambled egg with smoked salmon (the cheap off-cuts!) with toasted seeded batch. Oh, and tea - several mugs of tea.
I usually eat breakfast in the car. This morning I had a salami sandwich, tomorrow I plan on making a mixed berry smoothie.
On weekdays (since school starts at 7:45am - which I'm done with completely after tomorrow!) I will sometimes get a bagel at the school since they're super good, or I end up skipping over it entirely. For the weekends it's usually cereal and fruit. But really, I will eat cereal for any time of the day. I love cereal.

I went to a spa today. Well, it was a spa trip after work. The place was more than a spa - they also cut hair and give manicures, in addition to the massages and facials and mud baths you'd get at a spa. It was like the Wal-Mart of spas. They had a large flashing sign outside - it wasn't neon but it was close. It was more like a sign you'd see at a sporting event. The place smelled like a nail salon more than anything and Delilah was on the radio. Does anybody else know about Delilah? It could just be a regional thing, but it makes me feel better to think that the Delilah show is broadcast everywhere. If you don't know about Delilah, all you really need to know about it is that you're likely to hear a Richard Marx song when she's hosting.
I went to this spa for a "Detox for Life" treatment. I'd never even heard of it, but someone else made the appointment for me and I had to try it.
I got the detox for life treatment in one of those pedicure chairs with the massage function that you can adjust with a handheld device. Something was clipped to my wrist and it was also hooked into a box that looked like an old fashioned computer (it was beige like a computer from the 80's or early 90's). I also had a belt around my waist that was hooked into the same machine. My feet were in a bucket of water with this black thing that was also hooked to the same strange, beige machine.
She added salt to the water I had my feet in and then she turned on the machine. The point of all this was to draw the toxins out of my body through my feet and into the bucket of water.
By the time the treatment was over, my feet were in a bucket full of dark orange bubbly water with an oily surface. There was also a bit of white substance floating in the water and some black specks. I got a chart explaining what each funk in the water represented.
So I guess those were the toxins in my body. Or, there could have been something in that black device that was slowly dispersed in the water and it was all a hoax. Anyway, that's what I did tonight.
@papayahed-sandwiches are very good in the morning. Although I don't do that very often, I once ate a tunafish sandwich for breakfast and, God, it just tasted so good.
@kasie, I adore real oatmeal with dried fruit. Tasty!
@Shalot: Sounds like fun. Do you feel cleaner, lighter, purified? :D

Spa treatments? Ha! I wish...
My good friend decided we should have a day at a spa as my birthday treat - we turned up looking forward to a day of pampering, hot stones, swimming, massage, lunch, manicure, the works. We were shown into the changing room but before we had time to do more than ooh and aah at the thick white robes, an immaculate young lady turned up with forms for us to sign. Did we have any implants? Er, yes - how about two hips and a couple of vertibrae for a start? Hmm....had we had surgery in the last twelve months? Yes - see answer to above question. Hmmm.... did we have low or high blood pressure? Yes, both, see if you can guess which one of us suffers from which. And yes, we were on medication for teh above and yes, both were under control as far as our doctors were concerned. Very sorry, ladies, we can't accept you, Health and Safety, Insurance etc, etc. You can use the pool and stay and have lunch. Oh, and you can have your manicure but the manicurist won't be here until this afternoon. My friend, usually a placid sort, went spare, why wasn't she told about these restrictions when she booked? She hadn't asked. She didn't know there was anything to ask. We decided it would be an expensive swim/lunch/manicure so she asked for (and got) a refund and we were forced, but forced, to go to Marks and Spencer to console ourselves. Alas, I shall die wondering -as far as spa treatments go, that is.
