got even worse, as we allowed ourselves to indulge in all the ultra-sugary cereals that were denied to us growing up. Then, about a year or so ago, we decided maybe there was something to that whole "wheat allergy" diagnosis, and breakfast became a meal again. Since then we've gone through several iterations on the perfect breakfast plan, leaving omelettes behind when we got worried about the teflon in our non-stick pan (any hints on how to properly oil a pan so you can flip the omelette in a plain steel pan are greatly appreciated, as we can't seem to master that art), so we switched to oatmeal and fruit, leaving that in our wake for steak and eggs (scrambled or fried), jumping over to a protein smoothie regimine--with all sorts of reversions, switchbacks and combinations of those, as the mood has struck us. And in this shift of waking hours, we've discovered we like a nice breakfast at home. We like chatting with the spouse over the paper, we like the stillness of the day, we like our morning tea. So while we won't go so far as to say we're morning people, we will give a shout out to what we feel is the most tranquil meal. more ›
