OMG Foxy, I should know better than ask ... is this another thing like chocolate fudge, chocolate pudding, or is this something more along the lines of ... goose butter? Keep in mind, your answer may determine whether I ever eat Peanut Butter Pie ever again. I finally ate chocolate pudding for the first time in over a year the other day - a year from the day you saw fit to describe what it looked like, lol !!!

Just for s**ts and giggles, I Googled "peenus butter". Google immediately assumed I had made a typo and directed me elsewhere. Here is the entry they gave, with the word "peenus" replacing the word they thought was a typo...

Peenus butter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peenus butter is a food paste made primarily from ground dry roasted peenus, popular in the Philippines, North America, the Netherlands and the United ...

Either way, I am so not having toast for breakfast.

Toast? My mind is downright filthy, and I can't think of a single thing that toast looks like that it shouldn't...then again, I never saw anything wrong with chocolate pudding or brownies till SOMEONE pointed it out explicitly on my thread - someone...Foxy! Before Foxy...informed me different, I thought the only food that resembled something it shouldn't was a banana turned sideways (Bill Clinton).

Toast? Grits, I thought surely you would be enjoying some grits with butter this morning. Yum!


Clearly we need Iron Chef TK to jump in here and fix us all something nonsuggestively palatable for breakfast.

Yes, save us TK !!!! We may never be able to eat anything again if this conversation continues, ROFL !!!

Gaaaaaak! Now I'm wondering about lunch. Something with no butter at all!!!

ROFL !!! I learned a long time ago not to discuss food around Foxy - and he infected my mind with his dherty in-you-endo, I was totally innocent before that !!!

Well I've got myself an interview for a job with a steel company having navigated a rather tortuous and inefficent application process. It's only a summer placement but with the option of a scholarship in my final year after it and should look fairly nice on the CV. It is all very exciting except that I have no idea what the job actually is and know nothing about steel or engineering. Still they haven't worked that out so far (online application, online tests and phone interview) and making the right HR friendly noises has worked so far...

Still it would be nice to know exactly *what* job I'm applying for (and exactly how their application process has failed to make this clear). A job's a job though.

Will diet coke do? The regular version is way too sweet for me... As for peanut butter.... I'll just have to not imagine what Foxy just suggested.... Cause I love peanut butter




Mmmm....That reminds me, its past breakfast time and I have a box of grits just sitting in the cabinet waiting.... ♥

Grits, not just for breakfast.

Did I mention, I made pulled pork tonight for dinner.

Olen, congrats on the interview!!

Here in the south grits have NEVER been just for breakfast !!!

Oh, and I agree with this too - Olen, Congrats on the interview !!

Hark, did someone call for me?

I always enjoy a simple breakfast of eggs on toast, though instead of sausages and bacon, how about some sauteed baby 'bellas and cherry tomatoes on the vine? Allow me to share my recipe for scrambled eggs (it's actually Gordon Ramsay's but I liked it enough that I now use it constantly).

Eggs: 3EA
Butter: 1Tbsp
Chives: TT
Bacon: As desired
Cheese: As desired

Add eggs and butter to pan
Begin cooking on medium heat
As the eggs solidify, alternate the pot on and off the heat
You be the judge as to when they are done, but leave them soft and creamy.

The key to making a nice, creamy scrambled egg (not that tosh you find served in diners) you need to whisk your eggs vigorously and start with a cold pan. Only apply as much heat as you need, and when you see the eggs are starting to coagulate, alternate the pan (make sure it has tall lips, by the way. Use a saucepan) on and off the heat. Many rookie cooks make the mistake of not understanding that you can quickly and easily slow or stop the cooking process simply by removing your pan from the heat source. Once the eggs are cooked, add the chives and whatever extras you might choose. Serve on toasted San-Fran sourdough for the best experience.

Sourdough bread makes any experience better.

Ah, well, I fear I shall put everyone off their nutrition if I continue to suggest exotic food, like balut and mealworms..



So I shall simply suggest a healthy, nutritious breakfast for all: two apples with a banana in the middle, and whipped cream topping the banana.

SPEW !!!! Are you sure that shouldn't be two ORANGES ???

Two oranges, a banana, and whipped cream, sounds like a smoothie! *whirrrrrrrrr*

Speaking of bugs, I miss chocolate crickets... They taste just like a crunch bar! ♥

... You eat crickets? As in REAL crickets or just chocolate shaped LIKE a cricket??
