hmmm. does it seem like i haven’t posted in a week, and all of a sudden there is a deluge of four? well, maybe to you, not now. but it will when you’re done reading this and the next three down.
it’s just that i had an extremely tasty second breakfast of mushrooms on toast this morning, and i had to share it with you. regular readers probably already know that breakfast is my favourite meal of the day (such a favourite meal that it is not uncommon for me to have two, three or even four of them in the span of a morning), and that mushrooms on toast is my favourite favourite. today i was even lucky enough to have an avocado handy as well as a second loaf of bread.
two loaves of bread? i bought a loaf for 89c at the supermarket on “fresh friday”, and on saturday the boy decided that supermarket bread was objectionable enough not to mention supermarket bread that had been bought yesterday, and procured himself a whole new loaf from the mall bakery. please note that this is the same boy who has, in the past, returned from the supermarket proudly bearing a 50c reduced-for-quick-sale-before-it-expires ham and cheese pizza roll. the bread i bought was baked fresh on “fresh friday”, and um… it was 89c. but see, it wasn’t like he got a fancy artisan loaf. it was just plain old cottonwoolly white bread; it couldn’t have been that much better than the supermarket vienna, could it?
as it turns out, yes, his bread was much better because when i went to cut a slice of mine for the toast component of breakfast, i noticed with horreur that there were tiny little cockroaches crawing all over it. they had infiltrated the bag, which was sealed with one of those bread clippy things and were crawling all over it!
i don’t know that there is a moral to this story. i mean, the moral could be “always have a spare loaf of bread in the house in case of unexpected cockroaches” but that would just be silly.
do you ♥ breakfast? do you flickr? perhaps you are a breakfast fiend.

omg! inside the bread?! did you return it, roaches and all?
as horrible as it is to admit, i believe the cockroaches sprung from mine own kitchen.
i guess i don’t have to tell the supermarket that though. perhaps i’ll have to take a stroll to the park, and feed it to the ducks.
oh HAHA. it just popped into my head, that scene from “about a boy” where the kid throws a whole loaf of bread at a duck and kills it. HAHAHA.
Oh wow, so many posts. This is better than reading the morning paper online.
I started my breakfast this morning, with a Lindt chocolate. I promise to go downstairs, and cut a slice of bread. Today I feel like slathering butter, jam and having cheese on the side.
Mushrooms are also a very good breakfast ingredient.
