It's 9am here and I've just had a poached egg and 2 slices of wholemeal bread toasted. And a large mug of tea 😏
Sunday morning and having the time to relax over a cooked breakfast is wonderful. I will be going for a walk to the newsagents soon, then back to read the paper and have another cuppa.
It's noon here. All preparations are done. We are drinking a glass of Cava (Codorniu, Non plus ultra).
The first course will be steamed filet of halibot on a bed of watercrest and topped with a spicy cold sauce of romero pepper. We will drink a glass of German white wine (Ruppertsberger Tokay Pinot Gris Trocken, 2007).
The main course will be roasted easter lamb with garlic and rosemary, green beans and baked slices of red young potatoes. No sauce (for the fat). We will drink a glass of Red Burgundy (Marsannay 2005, Louis Latour).
If we are hungry enough the dessert will be baked mango & banana with ice cream.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyIm getting there myself. At 52 I have to watch my cholesterol so cheese, eggs, meat have to be in small doses. This morning I had 2 cups of fresh ground and brewed Ethopian coffee, Sada Roti and Tomatoes Choka. Sada Roti is like flat bread but without the yeast so its firmer. Tomatoes Choka is roasted crushed tomatoes seasoned with culantro, garlic and habanero peppers.
At Seniorsville Manor, Somewhere, USA, the exquisite fare served this fine
Sunday morning, to the chess ward, was a slice of humble pie with a wedge
of extra sharp cheddar and cambric tea, along with the usual medications.

Originally posted by MissOleumOne influence on how bitter coffee is how much it is roasted ... the darker the roast the more bitter. Dark roasted beans appear to be more popular and it produces a rich brown/black coffee. Lighter roasted beans produce a brown and tastier (in my opinion) coffee with much less bitterness. The packaging will tell you whether its dark or light roasted.
If you don't like bitter coffee, ask for New Guinea or Costa Rican (they're a different less-bitter bean, more expensive here though). New Guinea Gold instant coffee is almost tasteless though, the DE Moccona is about right.
