Breakfast
This was always planned to be just a quick two week experiment, and its time has long since passed. It was relaxing to spend those few minutes each day recording the simple pleasures, but it was never going to last: I'm always late out of the house in the morning. It was all done after a friend commented that keeping an online diary of what you eat for breakfast is the most pointless thing imaginable. I mean, that's just asking for it.

I wasn't particularly hungry either today after the pudding fest again last night. I really am eating far too much again these days, but I just love cake. Amends were made with a frugal feeding this morning, just a Greek-style yoghurt; I'll wait till lunchtime.

Still full up with last
night's cheese. The coco pops are
gone forever - Yay!

One week, I'll get to Swedish on time on a Thursday, but it wasn't this one. The rush hanging over my head rather ruined the experience, since one can hardly savour food while worrying about whether there's a few measly seconds to brush your teeth. I'm really getting sick of coco pops, the devil's cereal. I just don't think that bargain two weeks ago was quite worth the soul-sapping experience that comes of eating them. Why don't they snap, crackle or pop like rice crispies, since that's essentially what they are, except tarted up like Susan Pevensie in The Last Battle.

I bought some new tea today, EqualExchange organic breakfast tea. It's twice as fairtrade as the usual stuff, since it's not only grown but packaged in India, and that's where the real money's made. Now that seems all well and good, doesn't it? There's just one problem: the stuff doesn't taste that nice. It's a terrible shame but a true fact that exploitation simply tastes better. I'm really getting sick of coco pops now.

This was a plain and simple breakfast, just a cup of tea and a bowl of coco pops since I wasn't that hungry and just needed to get on with work. It was neither here nor there so far as meals go, ok, I guess. I'm really beginning to get sick of coco pops though: there's a reason I don't buy them very often.

I thought I had time to really feast this morning, but sadly, sadly not. I barely had time to finish my coffee before rushing out of the door, and it's all because I dawdled over at the toaster with the last of the potato scones....

Sundays are all about taking time over breakfast, and I certainly did. Preparation is absolutely key in these matters, because if you don't have everything laid out in front of you before you begin, you need to keep getting up from the table. Just like how Mr. T loves it when a plan comes together (when he's not filling someone's garage with cardboard boxes), there's something spectacular about having a range of foods at your fingertips and just wafting between them....

Quite an exotic breakfast, this was, if it even really counts. On my way to the post office on Brunswick Road to collect a package I had a takeaway latte and piece of shortbread from a nice little fairtrade café on Leith Walk. There's something liberating about walking around as one eats, and it's worth enjoying from time to time. The only trouble is that I'm even clumsier than usual when ill and found it hard to keep track of both cake and coffee at once: spillage ensued. But that's hardly the fault of the breakfast, which was definitely tasty.

My skin crawled. I had barely slept. I felt retched. The heat and dehydration coursed through my body and I felt awful. Some coffee was a welcome start, but ibuprofen was more what I needed. I must have eaten some coco pops, but can't really remember. What I really needed was a hot bath.

A quite reasonable breakfast, this was. Just a simple bowl of coco pops and a cup of tea, but without the need to rush for any reason. As I wasn't having any toast, there was nothing to impede my eating the cereal immediately after adding the milk, so I was spared from having the cocoa all dissolve before I was ready. It really does make for a superior morning chocolate treat. I can't quite remember how the tea was, but I'm willing to bet it hit the spot that early in the morning. It wasn't one of nature's fanciest breakfasts, admittedly, but the sort of workaday example without which society would collapse.

This morning's was a lacklustre meal, which seems appropriate after last night. I slept in later than I could have done with, and so felt like I needed to rush through eating to catch up with time....

Breakfast on Tuesday is always a guilty pleasure. No matter when I set my alarm for, my body knows that my first class is at one and will happily give itself another hour or two's slumber. It's pining for the days when there wasn't any homework to be done late at night or good reason to get going before lunchtime on a grey January morning. Frankly, I quite agree, but could really do with getting some work done before Swedish one of these weeks....

This morning, breakfast was a rather rushed affair. I'd overslept half an hour, had to wash my hair and still somehow made it on time to my ten o'clock lecture. Despite this, however, I managed to cram rather a lot into the short space of time and made it a worthwhile meal....
