The Breakfast Club

^Are you eating your cardigan again Lily?

Porridge this morning. I tried a couple of days of skipping breakfast but by 11.00 I was so hungry I could have eaten a pen, a pack of post-it notes, paper-clips and a stapler.....I didn't you understand, I just arranged them on a A4 plate and looked at them longingly.

My breakfast.

**LesBonsTemps** · 06-07-2006, 09:43 PM

Just back from the Gulf Coast for the 4th of July holiday...

Breakfast recipe:

1. Prep by dropping crab traps from dock on previous night.
2. First thing in AM, pull up crab traps.
3. Carefully (CAREFULLY!) remove live blue crabs from trap. Liberate any
crabs less than 4 inches wide.
4. Boil crabs -- season water with cayenne pepper, bay leaves, salt,
pepper, whatever else is left after cousin's previous visit.
5. Pick crab meat from shells. Try not to cut hands or curse excessively.
(About this time, mix bloody mary or mimosa and start drinking.)
6. Chop scallions.
7. Prepare basic omelette.
8. Fill omelette with crabmeat, scallions, jack cheese and fold over.
9. Eat heartily, have another drink, decide you've done enough for the
morning.

Basic is lavish beans on properly toasted dark bread layered with melted cheese, raw cherry toms, dollop of ginger and garlic clove on the side, washed down with a yogurt drink and 90mg aspirin, usually followed by papaya and passion fruit/avocado when available, but always finished off with melon schpitz.

Now a time sensitive plobrem; tilac's in Bkk for the weekend and I've pulled the short straw on sorting out a buffet brekie for a visiting team. Nobody's interested in wading through an oilfest, and most would rather pay less than the tenner or whatever at Dusit or Montien - around 200-300 per head would be fine - any suggestions before tomorrow morning? Oh yes, Pattaya based.

No idea.

But I got the hang of baking German style bread, at present it's a couple of slices of Sage/onion bread with fried ham, duck's egg and tomatos for brekkie, with a cup of Ovaltine and a glass of Lychee juice, followed by a wrap of betelnut or two.

**dirtydog** · 11-11-2006, 01:21 AM

Lek Hotel or Diana Inn are both under 200baht.

Would rather do 3 months than the Lek, but thanks for Diana Inn, will do.

Once you get used to fried/boiled duck eggs chichen eggs are bland and insipid. Omletes and scrambled eggs are better with chicken eggs though

**keda** · 11-11-2006, 10:57 AM

Softboiled ducks could easily replace the softboiled chicks missed out in my typical breakfast menu.

I happen to find a few in our shed every morning.

I am convinced the ducks we raise have something to do with this...

**keda** · 11-11-2006, 11:07 AM

Often fancied myself raising free range chicks and ducks, but difficult to do that in a condo.

**humphrey** · 11-11-2006, 11:15 AM

Not impossible though?
Had a mate with rabbits in a condo. It was like walking in a mini amusement park.

**humphrey** · 11-11-2006, 11:22 AM

As for breakfast.
A fruit juice. A cup of good coffee. Scrambled eggs fried in butter. Some fried tomatoes, a couple of slices of good bread, toasted, the morning newspaper and another good coffee and then a smoke.

**Bung** · 11-11-2006, 11:49 AM

Joke and Patong go for dipping. And coffee. I am looking for a real coffee maker, I'm tired of instant and apparently coffee mate is a big no no for cholesterol.

In Farang land it is toast and coffee or depending on where I am, croissants, bacon and eggs (only once a week!) but the big one is coffee. I am lost without it in the morning.

The best is Italian coffee with a French croissant, Italian ones are rubbish.

Sunday Mornin' Light breakfast:

**Anonymous Coward** · 04-03-2007, 10:21 AM

Will you post your method of doing hash browns? (If you haven't already....)

**friscofrankie** · 04-03-2007, 10:49 AM

I buy 'em from in a bag frozen just like all the restaurants back home do.

The brand is, "Simply Shreds" think it's an Ozzie brand, Identical to the OreIda frozen ones in the US. they go for about 65 baht a kilo Lotus Tesco has 'em here for 89 Baht.

I use a thick pat of butter and an equal amount of light cooking oil in the pan heat that til it starts bubbling and throw 'em in stir 'em around til they're thawed and then form one large patty. I use a large(ish) saute pan and then just flip 'em like you would eggs over.

I've tried making Hash browns and eventually found boiling the potatoes after shredding into cold water worked best for me. you've got to watch 'em like a hawk and cool 'em in cold water immediately, really more trouble than they're worth, and I lost more than I had success with. If I had make them myself I wouldn't have 'em too often.

A quitter I am not. But then I don;t drink every day. This breakfast would go very nicely with a decent pale bitter ale, fucked if I can find a decent one in the fuckin' country.

**Marmite the Dog** · 05-03-2007, 12:16 AM

I had Sir Ken May and another local chap around for brekkie this morning.

2 Cumberland Sausages
2 Fried Eggs
Suberb Bacon
Toast (except for me)
Mushrooms

Sadly, no baked beans, but it was spanking anyway.

**peterpan** · 05-03-2007, 07:52 AM

This morning there was a bit of a fog in issarn, I think caused by the Bottle of Taylors port I consumed the nite before. Anyway sent the kids off to watch cartoons while I pleasured my (non BG) wife,after which I fired up my italian mistress and mainlined caffeine.
Deep throated 2 cups straight down.
Onto the main event. Opened a tin of Proper Ozzie SPC baked beans, heated them and spread lovingly over some toasted home made wheat bread. Good morning so far

**DrB0b** · 06-03-2007, 10:35 AM

Red Bull and black coffee. Gets me in the mood to face the morning traffic.
