Breakfast Month: Day One

so it seems i can't go more than a few months without placing some kind of stupid restriction on my day-to-day life. i've been digging on breakfast as a 'good life choice' lately, so decided that i would eat nothing but breakfast foods for the month of october. COOL IDEA, BRO. i will be documenting each day's food intake here, so i can look back on this in a few years & say "oh yeah, that was a good meal" and "oooh, that made me a bit nauseous, i remember". i'll also be watching movies with breakfast in the title & just yay-ing breakfast in general. it's pretty great. i have some minor concerns (the lack of lollies in my life, too much bread for my bread-hatin' body & my cholesterol reading shooting up with the amount of eggs i'll be eating), but nothing that can't be solved with fruit loops. on to day one!

 my usual weekday breakfast, one slice of vegemite toast, eaten while walking to work. burgen digestive balance rye is pretty yum. i'm sure there's better rye breads out there, i love dark rye, but this is the darkest one i can find in the supermarkets i frequent.
coffee when i got to work. i have spent much of this year building up my tolerance to coffee, which was a very poor life decision indeed. my teeth & nervous system may now hate me, but my wallet is doing ok, because i'm too much of a tightarse to buy real coffee everyday. this is one of those jarrah sachets. coles had little packs of these containing 5 varieties for $1 a couple of months ago & i bought about 20. as i said, tightarse. not sick of them yet.
poached eggs on burgen rye w/ parmesan, baby spinach & tomato chutney. poached eggs are a new obsession for me, having cooked them for the first time a couple of months ago. the can is canned coffee, which i tried for the first time in japan last year. genius. our favourite korean grocery in lonsdale st had 30 can slabs of these for $18 recently.
morning sun peach & pecan muesli. the worst muesli i've ever had in my life. the sultanas were so minuscule that i not only had trouble tasting them, but could barely even detect that they were in my mouth (that's what she said?). i had a few bites before fobbing the rest off to kyle, my human garbage disposal, forever taking one for the team.
 tea leaves cafe latte tea & homemade banana & choc chip muffin. thank fark for muffins & danishes counting as 'breakfast', i can't live without the whole tea + cake thing.
 canned spaghetti & mozzarella cheese on a slice of burgen rye. stacks of cracked pepper, whatta condiment!
 another banana & choc chip muffin & a pot of T2 ruby red rosehip tea. i drink entire pots of tea before i go to bed, then wonder why i need to get up & grandma pee a million times during the night.
bunch of red seedless grapes.
Breakfast Movie of the Day


i got 20 mins into this before deciding i couldn't hack the overwhelming irishness any longer. and the voice cillian murphy puts on, nup, nup, nup, no deal. 2/10 hash browns.
