"PILEUP OMELETS" and "SMEARED TOAST" have displaced those polite coddled eggs, soft-boiled eggs in porcelain egg cups, and egg muffin cups of more formal dining days......

Pile-ups seem to be the becoming, habitual, early morning fare.......here....a scrambled egg pile up with creamed avocados, shredded cheeses, pieces of sugar-cured ham, spinach, and this morning's 'mix' of ground spices and chopped yard greens.......to be spooned over a toasted croissant, smeared with apple butter........The same morning fare that I loved as a ten-year old, with the croissant having been substituted for toasted Tip-Top Bread or super-light baking-powder biscuits and avocado...for butter..

24 hours later....more 'leftovers' atop yesterday's 'leftovers', some Thai vegetarian green curry, for 'today', dumped atop a bit of 'yesterday'.....so...what will be the 'bill of fare'....for 'tomorrow'?

I was just 'wondering' ....."what do most folk have for breakfast?....by the numbers.....as in 'what they eat, most mornings', while still in bedclothes.........This, and its many variations, is my 'go to' standard, most recently......b'fast sandwich, hand-held.....and an expresso with a dollop of whipped heavy cream...... "Variety is the Spice of Life", however.....although, I have an old friend who's had a bowl of cereal every morning for the past 50 years, and another that claims a single coddled egg, ladled from its porcelain cup...onto a slice of white toast......and, yet another who has a fried chicken breast on a biscuit....with French fries......My Father had 'milk toast' and coffee for b'fast......My Mother preferred creamed chipped beef on toast during her few 'eat meat' days....I've observed that 'B'fast' is the most-fixed formatted of meals for most people.....If I were less 'health-conscious', however, I'd probably have a huge piece of cake or a banana split or fruit cobbler, à la mode, first thing in the morning.... Coffee is the Constant.....
