I Almost Skipped Breakfast Twice This Week!

So after a trip to the doctor, I realize that I paid for a doctor to tell me I have vertigo. Seriously...like I didn't already know that. Anyways, I suppose it makes sense: my frequency of migraines, my inability to watch a 3D movie, and my dislike for the really really spinny rides at Six Flags (although the roller coasters are totally fair game).  Looks like I gotta suck it up and consume dramamine for long car trips...

Anyways...without further ado: a week of breakfasting highlights!

Monday
Monday morning, I made a quick  breakfast as I was racing out the door-you know how I roll--toss an over hard egg with some cheese into a corn tortilla with hot sauce and jet out the door...Always fast, easy, and delightful!

Tuesday
I ended up staying at the bfs on Monday night after a random decision to head there after work. In my morning rush, I figured I would stop at Starbucks or Caribou and grab a breakfast sandwich...alas...I drank my breakfast on Tuesday morning with a fat free vanilla cappuccino from Speedway...It was fast and on the way and I sort of just forgot to grab something to eat while I was there! Shocking, I know.

Wednesday
After the killer storm on Tuesday night, during which V took me to a stellar fancy shmancy meal at the Capital Grille (damn was that delicious), I had some very tasty leftovers.

Before getting into the breakfast--let me describe the aforementioned storm: V and I had just left the restaurant. The sky still had color, the wind was picking up, and we raced to the car. Within 2 minutes, the wind was raging, rain was pouring down in buckets, and the sky was black as black can be. We got to the first intersection, the power went out (including the stop lights), the emergency lights went on, and the sirens went off. At this point, I'm panicking, but flying through options in my head: gas station? too small. M's apt? No M doesn't live there anymore. R/K house? too far. Local bar? Closest place that seems safe. Done and done. 30 seconds after beginning the run through, I direct V to the nearest bar.  We waited it out (and got a little booze in my system) until the bad had passed, and headed home.

Now the breakfast. I had this kona crusted gigantic mammoth rare steak...which I sliced a few thin slices of, put into a tortilla (are we seeing a pattern here?) with an over hard egg (SORRY V, I know you didn't want it mixed with eggs, but steak and eggs ROCK) and some 18 month aged cheddar cheese, for a friggin phenomenal-nothing-can-top-this-breakfast-taco taco. Plus it appears I'm always racing out the door for work. Expect better blogging next week with several late start days...

Thursday
Another tasty use of my leftovers from Tuesday night...parnesan truffle fries. Yes. Parmesan. Truffle. Fries. Now, I don't particularly like french fries. But I love cheese. and I love truffle. and together, they make fries taste pretty darn awesome.  Now fries kind of reheat like crap, so bear with me as it wasn't so much the french fry-ness, as it was the cheesy truffly flavor...cooked in a pan for a little crisping....topped with an over medium gooey delicious eggy of joy...mmmmmm

Friday
So I tried to stop at Caribou for an apple chicken sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on ciabatta...except that the Caribou I stopped at doesn't serve breakfast sandwiches! I wasn't about to let myself go to work 2 days in a row without breakfast, so I raced over to the McD's and got a bacon McGriddle. You've got to admire the pancake-wich. It's got the little gems of syrup built in, so you're eating pancakes, with less messiness! then add the savory goodness of the bacon, the egg, and cheese.... *sigh* Funny, it kind of reminds me of the time (when I was a kid) my dad made french toast, only to discover we had no syrup...and he put cheese on top of it. I didn't know what to do with myself...It seemed so unnatural. I've come a long way from that I think...

Saturday
This morning, I had some Dubliner cheese and crackers at the bf's place...but I was busy writing a report, so I didn't get to make breakfast yet. Perhaps the bf will awake soon and I'll have something delicious. :D I'm thinking...chilequiles...tortilla chips cooked in sauce (hot sauce or salsa) mixed with meats and veggies, and topped with eggs. :) Happiness.

Enjoy the weekend kids!
