I have a rare Sunday off this week. I was able to indulge in one of my favorite activities; Breakfast. On workdays, I generally don't have time to stop for breakfast. I grab a honey bun, pop-tart, or granola bar and crunch it down on my way to work.
This morning, I was able to brew up a pot of coffee, scramble some eggs, fry up some hash browns and bacon, and flip some hot cakes. By the time the coffee was brewing, the boy was up ready to drink coffee and keep me company while I was whipping up breakfast. By the time the bacon had crisped, Angry Joyce was up in a better humor than usual. I guess the smell of bacon frying soothes the savage beast. And when it was done, I woke up the girl. ( Teens have to be firebombed out of bed. The smell of breakfast doesn't register for shit during their morning slumbers. )
Sitting here full and content I have to admit that all in all it was a great breakfast. Although I enjoy cooking breakfast, there is something to be said for going to a good roadside diner and ordering up breakfast. There is no more simple pleasure that can kickstart your day going like a good cup of coffee, chicken fried steak and eggs, and bullshitting with a quick witted waitress. I think that is what I need to do tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow will come soon.

Sweet Man loves to cook a big breakfast on the weekends.
and I enjoy letting him! ;-)
I love breakfast if someone else cooks it. There is just something about cooking as soon as I get out of bed that I dont like. And I love steak, but I have never in my life eaten steak and eggs together! lol. I know a lot of people do. But my favorite breakfast meat is ham. Mmm scrambled eggs, hash browns and fried ham. Now thats a breakfast!
God your post made me hungry. I eat a pop tart and wash it down with a coke. However I didn't wake up til around 1 today haha I know lazy.
Ok, thanks! I just read this, and made pancakes(chocolate chip) and fried eggs for breakfast. I feel gooooood!
You gotta love breakfast and a watiress with a quick comeback and lots of coffee. mmmmm...
I adore Sunday breakfast! It's fun to treat yourself a bit... so glad you enjoyed!
MMMMM....I'm starving. Thanks a lot Fuzz.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day....especially when you wake up to someone else cooking it for you! :-)
I can't remember the last time I actually ate a "real" breakfast, or breakfast, period. I'm just not hungry in the morning.
ben: Over here it is the Britney - K-Fed tragedy. Sad that in the world this crap passes as news.
jim: Fair to tolerable.
keshi: It was just about a brinner. (The breakfast to dinner three way combo meal.)
angel, jr: It starts off the day right. My granny always cooked a big Sunday breakfast so that she wouldn't have to worry about a big lunch after church. I guess the idea of a big Sunday breakfast just stuck with me.
ol' lady: I wouldn't get much done except laying around if I made big breakfasts a habit. I like to take my Sunday afternoon nap while watching football to make it a perfect day.
starbender: Gotta have the pancakes.
big pissy: I think that is why Angry Joyce enjoys it soo much.
catch: I am not much on ham unless it is in an omelette. Then it is good good stuff.
phats: Then that would make it a helluva brinner.
foundme: Dang that sounds good.
phlegmmy: Yeppers, it is the epitome of roadside eating.
lisa: Thanks!!!
curare: If I want breakfast, I am the one cooking. To say that Angry Joyce is not a morning person is a gross understatement.
bruce: I think the breakfast's of my early adulthood was the best. That was because I was still up and needed some good old grease in the gut before going to sleep. It helped prevent some of the harsher symptoms of a hangover.
Yeah yeah, I'm late.
Next time you make breakfast I'm coming over. Bacon...mmm....bacon and hashbrowns. Oh thank god...it's lunch.
I've always been a cereal girl. Hubs is more of a big breakfast guy. How we got together I'll never know.
Dang your making me hungry now. Thanks Fuzz
Nothing was better than waking up to my Dad cooking some bacon!
I love breakfast for dinner! If you're a big tipper, I volunteer to be your quick witted waitress. I need a job.
jenna: Glad lunch came quick.
andie: I like cereal but I tend to go for the kiddie stuff. I love Cap'n Crunchberries. When they came up with Ooops All Berries, I was eating high on the hog.
erika: You are welcome.
green eyes: I could think of no better person for the job. Hope you find something soon.
Besides the hot waitress you probably talked to this morning, I think what makes a breakfast like that so good is that someone else is cooking it. Usually I have to make breakfast, but omg when Tarzan does & I wake up to the smell of bacon frying, it is wonderful! You're the 2nd person in like a week that's written about hot cakes..yum!
I cooked breakfast Sunday too..
Scrambled eggs, bacon/ham, biscuits, sliced cheese, with molasses and grape jelly on the side...
Ummmm, make you slap yo mamma.
Hey where's mine?!
jane: It must be a trend.
phred: Crazee tastee.
pita: It's so nice to hear from you. Hope all is well.
oh man, nothing better than a good diner breakfast on the weekend. I favor biscuits and gravy - some scrambled eggs and sausage. After I'm in filled to the gills, time for a nap. yummy.
WC
Excude me? Did you say something?
I'm still staring her boobs...
... did you say you had boobs, errr. sorry buns for breakfast? Or was is just a tart?
wc: Gravy is a must although I have some horror stories about my first attempts at gravy making.
rocky jay: I don't know that I have ever come across a waitress of this magnitude. But I am always hoping.
mimi: I absolutely love breakfast for dinner. It was even more enjoyable back when I worked the night shift. Although people thought it strange when for what was their breakfast found me eating chili dogs in the morning.
Mmmm Pecan waffles from the waffle house.
Breakfasts out just taste nicer and you don't have to clean up!
my favorite breakfast is no more..damnit..i love on sunday mornings to toast some bread...have some wrights bacon(best in the world) some nemecek's sausage(best in the world) 2 big fat large eggs shat out right here in West, by Goddess, Texas...and hash browns...
damn..no wonder I'm a diabetic..
now I have the bacon and sausage with one little t-tiny fucking egg and no toast or hash browns...no pan cakes...no syrup..
nope.none..zip..nada zero..fuckity fuck fuck fuck..sigh..* but please feel free to come by and tell me what you had...
oh..old trick to get kids out of bed..go to their music station and turn radio on to the music station they hate...oldies, country opera etc...turn it up full blast..they will get up to turn that shit down in a nano second..and once they are up...well, they are up...ha
pixie: The Waffle House rules. Best greasy breakfast in the world bar none.
granny: Wrights bacon is the best. I haven't seen it in a while but Wright's used to sell the ends and pieces in a big ass box. It was thick and made them perfect for making kick ass breakfast burritos.
paige: I will certainly check it out.
Nothing is better than a big greasy breakfast when you're on the road!
LOl @brinner!
Keshi.
Simply lovin' the pic, Fuzz.
It makes me yearn for a plate of 'bumcakes'(hold the syrup)...
~m
Mmmmmmm, even after a second helping of Thanksgiving leftovers I'm hungry for the breakfast you've described =)
