Breakfasts are pretty special around my house, especially on weekends. Since I don't eat meat and I'm trying to eat a specific level of protein there are a lot of egg in my breakfasts. Usually schedule and cholesterol concerns hold sway during the week so I'll do whatever sort of egg white omelet I can put together with oatmeal or grits and eat quickly before I have to go teach.
The weekends are another story. Today was chicory coffee from New Orleans and Texas Bird's Nest Toast. Cook a thick slice of wheat bread on a very lightly oiled cast iron skillet over medium heat. Give the bread a few minutes head start then crack the egg into the cut out. Flip the whole deal after a couple minutes then cook until the yoke sets. Sat and pepper to taste. Serve with curried home fires, soy bacon, and grapefruit on the side, you're talking about the sort of breakfast someone can sit over a solid couple of hours.
Finally, I had my first swim in years yesterday. Alternating freestyle and breast stroke I did 500m in about twenty-five minutes (counting a couple breaks). That's nothing to brag about, but I think it does mean that I can do the tri that my buddy from work wants me to enter with him in September.
