The "Breakfast" thread

We hosted friends for a Valentine's Day brunch. Not shown are mimosas, coffee, cocoa, pickles, and chocolate-coated strawberries. The fella made our bagels that were fresh from the oven. I had dusted off some buffet milk glass and my great grandmother's silverplate. The assorted glassware, serving platters, and serving pieces were also vintage.

It was a fun thing to do!

This morning I had a bagel with plant based butter and opened ajar of orange marmalade I made back in 2017. In each jar I put two tablespoons of Laphroig single malt which turned the marmalade the color of creosote. It still has a kick and tastes great. I’m finishing off with a large tea using a Twinnings English Breakfast tea and a Yorkshire Gold bag and two lumps raw sugar. TTTT I feel a bit wired.
 
It’s been a while, but I made our favorite. Only 1 side each. But it’s so rich that it was plenty.

Eggs Benedict. My grandmother always told me that the only English muffins worth buying were Bay’s. Shaved ham. Poached egg homemade Hollandaise.

Best breakfast ever.

It’s a long story but right now I’m staying in a cheap motel in Heber City, Utah as I was having breathing issues with sleeping at altitude where Matt lives. My inn is a long block from McDonald’s and was a killer on my hips but made it fine. I won’t do this again as it is way to many calories that I don’t need.
