Breakfast March 31 Monday 2025

[Emile]

Drinking black coffee and eating a toasted bagel with cream cheese.

Today is clean up day. Bad storms rolled through here yesterday. We lost our power for over six and half hours. Need to check my roofing today. We had some very strong winds, hail and rain. Now they are saying more strong storms are predicted this coming Wednesday.

1. Black coffee just brewed

Seeing a hint of dawn to the east and many clouds.

West of us radar shows a line of storms, some heavy but small, moving towards us. The forecast says light rain early and then chance of afternoon t-storms. It is about an hour before they get here so we will see what happens. TJ will be driving home from work about then.

No food yet, I am waiting on TJ's arrival to decide what to have.

5. Sounds pretty tasty

Especially the bacon. I love it, but avoid it after having a state job testing water quality and seeing what the hog waste lagoons do to water quality. My state of NC is notorious for having open hog waste lagoons in low lying, frequently flooded areas. Its an environmental disaster for the rivers and estuaries. It also hurt seeing how the pigs are treated like commodities rather than smart sentient beings they are.

Before you get mad at me-I don't mean to preach. I really don't, though it sounds like it. That's just my sad story with bacon. I never preached to my ex partners family who ate it with lusty abandon and I won't complain or avoid it if someone else is serving food that contains it. At that point, I figure its already done and skipping the meal won't change a thing. Plus I like to thankfully eat what people serve when I'm a guest.

On another note, I found a product called Fakin' Bacon. It's made from tempeh and it's damn good. It's not great if you're expecting a bacon replica , but it is good on its own for a smoky, deep flavor. Good texture too. And it rocks as a TLT sandwich (tempeh, lettuce and tomato). I learned about it when I worked at a restaurant where they served it and people ordered it like crazy.

4. My weird eating world (or so ex says)

Big steaming cup of chai made with soymilk and a rice cake with almond butter and a short glass of plain kefir. That's more or less my wake-up breakfast. Something more substantial follows within an hour or two. If I'm home, it'll probably be either brown rice with shredded roasted chicken, brown rice with curried tofu or sous vide eggs with cheddar cheese and salsa. If I'm en route to work, it'll be a protein bar with a handful of almonds or honey roasted peanuts.

6. Peach ginger turmeric tea, hot

Avocado toast. The avocado mix has pineapple and Poblano in it.

Lemon Greek yogurt (I flavor it myself) with cherry plums and raspberries.
