Yesterday my Mum went to her monthly knitting group. It was her turn to take dessert. With all the chaos that's been part of our lives for the past four months, her knitting friends weren't sure she'd make the meeting, so someone else baked. That meant leftovers.
Guess who was the happy recipient of said leftovers? (Her initials are L.B.)
It so happens, that my mother had purchased one of Wegmans' ULTIMATE WHITE CAKEs. They're pretty yummy. I think they could go with a little less sugar in the frosting, but that's just my opinion. (And I could be wrong. They've already had--and addressed--some complaints about there being too much frosting, but can you EVER get too much frosting?)
We ate the cake for breakfast.
What? Breakfast?
Yeah, who says you HAVE to eat two eggs and a side of bacon? (Although you could probably entice me to do so if YOU do the cooking.) Or a bowl of steaming oatmeal (about as inviting as catching a cold while in Hawaii). Kids get fed bowls of sugar in disguise as breakfast cereal, so why not cake for breakfast?
I remember once I took a visiting friend to the cafeteria at Kodak for a hearty breakfast. This cafeteria was feeding guys who'd been working the night shift and they were hungry. We feasted on pork chops and scalloped potatoes at 8:15 a.m. and it was absolutely delicious. (And we didn't need a big lunch, either.)
I think people (including myself) should feel free to eat whatever they want at any meal. So why don't I? Maybe it's all those commercials I've been subjected to over the years about eating a "good breakfast." If it's the most important meal of the day, shouldn't we be eating the biggest meal then (or at least a bigger portion of the daily intake and then slack off at night so we can digest in peace)?
From now on, I'm going to eat whatever I like for breakfast.
Maybe.
How about you?
Hey, I just finished off a cold blueberry-whole wheat pancake with peanut butter on it (folded in half, not cut) for my breakfast. Does that count? And on my birthday I had apple pie next to my scrambled eggs. Yum.
ReplyDeleteSounds De-lish to me!
ReplyDeleteOh-great post! And I love to save classic 'breakfast' food for late in the evenings. Just finished left over Bean soup this morning for my breakfast-Ah yes, with a croissant and coffee...I have to add that the Wegman's chocolate cake is my breakfast treat (almost drove 20 miles last night just to get one).
ReplyDeleteI have been jonsing for a croissant for months. I may have to buy one when I hit Wegmans today for the weekly groceries. Okay, maybe more than one.
ReplyDeleteI love breakfast food for dinner, but for some reason, I can't do dinner food for breakfast. I can, however, do cake at any time of the day, or night!
ReplyDeleteI visited my friend in Virginia and they had just opened up this huge, gigantic Wegman and I fell in love with all that they had. I wish they could build one in NYC.
ReplyDeleteAw, no such luck, Dru. Wegmans (which is based in my home town) is concentrating on other states. They're heading into Massachusetts next. The local paper just ran a story on their expansion plans the other day. But it is a wonderful store, and their employees are the best-trained. I wish I'd worked for them instead of Kodak for all those years.
