Morning CLP

I love a good Full English - a real treat when B&B'ing anywhere! It has to be:-

Bacon (smoked) x 2 rashers, sausages x 2 (good quality, not sawdust rubbish from the cash & carry), fried egg (yolk runny), mushrooms, grilled tomato, small amount of baked beans and a fried slice. Toast on the side (hot and white bread, as cold toast is wrong!), with a good selection of preserves (and peanut butter!), and lovely hot steaming strong coffee.

Wrong on a breakfast are porridge (eugh!), black pudding, hash browns and chips (sorry Marky Mark!).

Here's hoping for 10 days of Greek breakfasts ..... cheese, fresh pastries, warm bread, fresh juice - all served in the sunshine!

And here's the best bit: Nic, that wonderful man, the love of my life, can't abide olives. What a result!! More for me!

Bring on the Greek Salad.

Muchos Amore.

Hi Chris: I loved all the "breakfast" chat this morning - I do love a full breakfast - don't mind the nationality! But I have never tried black pudding, and have no wish to do so!


Hi everyone:

A very special "wotcha, and happy birthday" to the lovely Scoobs! Hope you have a really terrific day. xx

mtd: excellent news about winning the cup! Congratulations, and very well done. Hope everything will be ok with your house. xx

Cheryl: hope you and Nic have a lovely holiday.

AliB: how very exciting about the movie! Can't wait to find out who the stars are!

Have a good day, all.

Morning all,

My full Scottish breakfast selection would have to be, square sausage, 1 slice of bacon, fried egg (well done), mushrooms, tomatoes (not tinned), hash browns, fried bread, a little bit of black pudding, haggis, and of course tomato ketchup, with toast on the side, buttered so thick that I can see teeth marks in it, but my normal daily breakfast is porridge with honey.

Have a good day everyone, and Happy Birthday Scoobs!

Hello again!

My ideal Full English is;

Fried egg, cooked well, no yukky bits, bacon, mushrooms, fresh tomato, and baked beans. White toast on the side, cold and crunchy, so that the thick butter sits on the top and doesn’t run through making it soggy.

But as usual, this morning it was porridge with banana!

Pen x

Forgot to mention the weather, maybe because it's not worth talking about! ;-(

Chris just had two weeks of brekkies, all sorts, fry ups, beans on toast, toms on toast, boiled egg and soldiers a definate favourite.

El Deevo stop it you are making me green with envy only got back on Monday morning and would sell my granny to get back there. Enjoy your holiday. I'm back looking very bronzed as the weather was fab. Had a lovely time and a very relaxing stay in our friends villa in a little village up the hill away from the tourist areas and found some beautiful proper tavernas, ate lots of lovely food, stifado, kleftiko, souvla and pork chops (dont normally like pork chops but there is something the greeks do to them that just makes it taste different).

Did manage to tune into Chris a couple of times and saw the festival in a day coverage on bbc whilst away looks like it was a good event.

Happy Birthday Scoobs.

Penny agree with you got to be cold toast loads of butter and marmite. Yum Yum.

Take care groovy bloggers

Thanks for that Cockneybird! I'm looking forward to all the foodstuffs you mention, as well as the local freshly caught fish, and lashings of local wine! We're up in the mountains too - approx 1.5km walk from the beach so plenty of exercise to walk off the excess gyros!

Oooh heaven, had a lovely fish dinner in a restaurant overlooking the bay. You cant beat it. I am afraid I only had 1 glass of wine all holiday as I am not a wine drinker it really does not agree with me at all. Village salad yum yum.

Wish I was back there now instead of this rotten brown desk in dank dismal shropshire. Have a lovely time and remember to recharge them life batteries we all need to keep sloggin on.

Recharging them auld batteries is top of the agenda!


Can I just ask a fave, and hope it doesn't get modded ....

CiN Volunteers - if you haven't done so already, can you please let me know via email (I emailed you all a couple of weeks ago) whether you are joining us for breakfast / evening meal on 18th November as when I get back from holiday I shall be booking venues so need to know numbers by 3rd October.

Ta muchly!

90 minutes of work left .....

hi all

sneaky login from work
my idea breakfast: fresh scrambled eggs, mushrooms and brown hot toast -and lots of strong tea - nothing more.
todays breakfast - yogust with triangle of fruit attached and seeds - not quite the same

Hello CE & Everyone.

My perfect breakfast is two rashers of back smokey bacon, two eggs, sunny side up, runny but not so as the white is underdone, fresh (not tinned) mushrooms, half a tomato, one well done sausage, black pudding, no beans. I used to love fried bread but as it's soaked in fat I now have toast instead.

I tried haggis once, never again! Yuk!

Today's breakfast-snap, crackle & pop!

Boss has been and gone, asked me to do a flow chart, under pressure!! All done and printed and he's a happy bunny. Now for lunch!

As for breakfast, my ideal would be....Builders tea, two rashers of crispy bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms, 2 fried eggs, slice of fried bread (haven't had that in years) and some white toast, smothered in butter, all with brown sauce.

Baggy, interested to know what a yogust is...lol :)

Today's breakfast - the cereal that looks like hoops and a glass of apple juice.

CB, Glad you had a good break, sounds just what the doctor ordered xx

Now for some lunch.

Scooby Dooby Do! Where are you?

***HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOOBS***

I was listening to the breakfast chat on my way to work as was craving a full english by the time I arrived!!

We always have a more exotic breakfast on a Saturday and I am now planning some eggy bread (not mentioned this morning but my favourite).

Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOOBS

Have a great day x x x

Happy Birthday Scoobs!
When we were in York last month, we had a full Yorkshire Breakfast!
I will not be having any fry ups over the next 10 days, as we are going continental, as Deevs has already pointed out. Just a bit of work to get out of the way first!

Nic

Cathmel, We had loads of eggs from our chickens and at the weekend we had eggy bread, it was lovely, I have a slice of cheese in between mine but my OH thinks that is disgusting.

Gail.

Dozymac - sounds heavenly to me x x

Afternoon all

Happy Birthday Scoobs, have a lovely day.

csn. xx

I can't eat ANYTHING in the morning! But, if pressed, scrambled eggs with mushrooms and hash-browns. And good coffee.... I like Dozymac's cheesy-eggy bread idea... perhaps with a tomato sliced up top as well.

Jasper-dog suffers from similar lack of appetite first-thing as well. So he just confines himself to 87 sausages, 138 rashers of bacon, 7 large black puddings, 5½ white puddings, 9 cups of English Breakfast tea. And a lightly-poached egg.

I think Baggy's "yogust" is what happens if you have too many beans with your breakfast... ;-) Jasper isn't allowed beans. Ever.

Roo x

Roo, that made me laugh out loud about Jasper's eating habits. xx

It is mad in my house, men everywhere, upstairs and downstairs.

csn. xx

csn, I'm on my way ;)

AliB

AliB, I do need a bit of help to keep them in check, what time can you get here.

csn. xx

csn....Lol - I'm only coming if they look like George Clooney and are single, between the ages of 35 and 50 and fairly well off so I don't have to work, is that too much to ask?

AliB
xx

CSN - hello! What's this?! Handsome young(ish) men throughout your house?! Can I have any that lostAliB doesn't bagsi?! Any that look like James Blunt?!

P.S. It was GREAT to hear Danny Baker yesterday, so glad he's doing OK after his health troubles. I've always liked him - SO intelligent and witty. Does anyone remember him doing a show called "Pets Win Prizes" on Saturday evenings? He was great at that, it was hilarious (more for DB's comments and wry bemusement than anything the beasties did)! He is a really outstanding chap; wish him all the luck in the world.

Is it true then? CSN's house awash with eligible gents... seriously?!?! xxx

Evening all

Don't know about breakfast - we've just eaten Boy2's Thai Butternut Squash Soup!! Very delicious it was too!!

Listening to Chris this morning while I was driving, I got so hungry I nearly at the steering wheel!

Hi all

Thank you for the congratulations.

We don't know what has caused the problems with the house, hopefully the surveyor who's coming on Thursday will be able to see and recommend what needs doing. I'm hoping it's not subsidence because apparently you get all sorts of sanctions on your house insurance if that happens Yikes!!!!.

All the talk of breakfast made me feel hungry too, and what did I have in my bag? Some of those breakfast biscuits (I didn't fancy the yoghurt I had planned to have) and a cereal bar...... My ideal is bacon (unsmoked back), fried eggs (runny), very good sausage, mushrooms, beanz, toast (brown, warm and buttered) but on hols I usually end up with fried egg on toast (because it is so difficult to get decent bacon, sausage or beans on ships or anywhere abroad).

Happy Birthday Scoobs
Happy Holiday Deevs and Nic.
MTF you is one mad lady but we love you for it, well done for making Scoobs day.

Roo I love Danny Baker too, I remember him back on Thames TV back in the '70's he used to be on a weekly show at 6pm with Paula Yates and Michael Aspel. Even then so funny and also very good looking.
loli x

loli - Am a bit of a post-70's person (sorry), but Danny Baker definitely deserves the success that he has!

Sezza - butternut squash is one of my favourites... you lucky thing...

OK, OK! I know I said I wasn't going to put the heating on yet, but it's b****y freezing here, and I can only wear so much clothing! Fluffy socks and cosy cardi just aren't enough!
Happy birthday Scoobs, hope you have had a lovely day, and you can tell us, just what WAS MTF waving at you?

Ta ta Lin x

ha ha yes i sometimes forget how old i am when i say the '70's seems like yesterday though to me!
Loli x

Roo, the soup was so nice i've told him to get the recipe back from his teacher!

And there's loads left over!

Lin, You have to give in eventually!

Sezza xxx

With you there, girlracer - I don't want to have to turn the switch, but it's getting a bit ridiculous...

By the way, what is Vassos's problem with black and white films?! I used to often associate them with boring Sunday afternoons, but no more! Hasn't he seen Sunset Boulevard?!? I even like good silent films! I defy anyone who says that animals can't act to watch Rin-Tin-Tin in "The Night Cry" from 1926 (where he's accused of killing sheep and sentenced to death - only to save a little baby from a giant condor who was the REAL killer). Not only is it funny (when the local sheriff comes to take Rin-Tin-Tin away and the dog disguises himself by pulling on a fake beard), but it's truly amazing. The scene where Rin-Tin-Tin, after the condor has made another sheep-attack for which he has been blamed and condemned, returns home and cannot understand why his owner is angry with him is nothing short of heartbreaking.

I couldn't ever get on with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (the Childcatcher did it for me), or any of the technicolor films, really.

Gloria Swanson, Rin-Tin-Tin, Mary Pickford, Rudolph Valentino - they were real stars!

Happy Birthday Scoobs

Sezza - I've got a good recipe for roasted butternut squash soup! But the Thai element in yours sounds intriguing! Do the mods let you put recipes up on here?!?
