Cheese omelet, bacon, and tea.
Cheerios with skim milk, half of a New Moon chocolate bar, glass of skim milk, handful of Bing cherries.
Good thinking adding the chocolate bar for protein, Cinn....
Not protein but antioxidants. Also, it's fair-trade, so I'm helping support the farmers.
i see Cinne, that you have become a little 'angel'; visually, and philosophically.
1/2 grapefruit and a dry toast... getting used to it. slowly.
Antioxidants! A new reason to have chocolate! Hooray!
(Was kidding about the protein, Cinn...)
4 oz. low-carb, fat-free yogurt and a hard-boiled egg this morning...I'm on South Beach diet (a month now, definitely losing weight)...
today being friday, we went shopping at the GOLDEN ROOSTER (a danish deli in town and the only really good one) on the way home from the pool. fresh tongue sausage, suelze (a deluxe head-cheese), zwiebel-wurst, lachs-schinken, schinkenspeck, fleisch-salat and some weiss-wuerste(veal sausage) and homemade liver-pate landed in the shopping basket. next we went to a store selling real montreal bagels. home we went to a breakfast feast ! suitably fortified we attented to our house and garden work - we neede the exercise. ehbeth and bailey and cleo will be arriving tomorrow morning and the festivities will continue. hbg
I'm having a bowl of cranberry oatmeal crunch with fresh strawberries and milk tonight. Got to do cereal in the evening to prepare for breakfast with the hamburgers tomorrow!
Those breakfasts don't seem to have done the Hamburgers any harm...
I firmly believe that someday the doctors are going to insist that we all eat eggs, bacon, biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast every day if we want to live a long life. It certainly seems to work for the old folks I know! Not ONE of them eats whole grain granola or yogurt!
The last thing I read on eggs was an actual praisefest. I'll give a link if I see it again.
Just wondering what my wife and I will be doing for breakfast tomorrow morning. mmmmmmm.....
Oatmeal w/splenda, egg white omelet, pot o coffee. I'm a creature of habit. A bananna after my run.

not so fast Eva; that kind of thinking is "dying" out!
I know, Bo. But I still have to question all these "food fads." Every few years they come out with a revised food pyramid. A few years ago we were supposed to load up on carbs and cut back on meats. Now they're saying the reverse. Sheesh.
I once had an elderly next-door-neighbor who lived to 96. For the last 25 years of his life, he ate very little food. Mostly just smoked Chesterfields (no filter) and drank. We all pitched in and got him "Meals on Wheels." He wouldn't eat it, and we asked him why. He just pointed at the tray that looked suspiciously like what they used to give us in elementary school and said, "When was the last time you ate a 'nutritionally balanced meal'?" We even brought him leftovers from our own houses, but he wasn't really interested.
And then there was my husband's grandmother. She died at 101. She lived on chocolates and honey buns for many years, with occasional binges on fast food.
I try to eat a fairly healthy diet, but I have no illusions that it's necessarily going to make me live longer. I think that has much more to do with genes than diet.
Eva; my comment was, as usual, obtuse, and referred to the holders of the opinion as 'dying out'; however in a rare sane commentary, i would point out that people who you have known who were in their late century of life, grew up in the very early part of the last century, when food was mostly home made, of decent ingredients, and not subject to the additives, and pesticides rampant in todays swill.
These people had the benefit of well built bodies constructed from sound nutritional chemistry, and they were also able to breath air unfettered with the pollutants we face daily prior to excessively indulging in poor habits.
If they had taken better care of themselves, they might have out lived us (but to what avail).
So, i suggest that you don't take such aberrant testimony too faithfully to heart in your own choices.
