Weekend breakfasts present a real problem for me. Not a real problem in the sense of ... well, problems... but it's still an issue every Saturday and Sunday morning.
I always eat breakfast; to not do so seems somehow uncivilized.
The thing is - I eat the same thing for breakfast during the week.
A piece of whole wheat toast with 2 cups of black coffee and a smoothie.
The smoothie might change up depending on what's rotting in the fridge, but that's pretty much my breakfast routine.
Or... I might go through an oatmeal phase and eat oatmeal every day for a few weeks. And that's always the same - 1.5 servings of oatmeal, lots of raisins, lots of cinnamon, and some maple syrup.
I woke up this morning a little pissy because I'd planned to run a 5k this morning, but didn't get home and to bed until almost 2 am, leaving me with about 4 hours sleep before I had to wake up. I could run the 5k, sure, but I'm really serious about this training I've been doing, and I didn't want show up and have a slow run when I'd been working so hard. So.. back to bed for a few more hours!
Woke up determined to make the most of the day, so set off determined to go to breakfast quickly, then come back and get started on yard work. Oh, but where to go??!!
Imagine my surprise when Leesil told me "Hey, there's a vegan brunch today".
I hustled her into the shower while I walked the dog, then we were off. On the way over there, I said "I' don't really have high hopes for this brunch" and we laughed at how we were so early.
Fast forward 30 minutes: We've got steamy plates of tofu scramble with field roast sausage, black beans, plantains, cinnamon-y apples and tortillas in front of us. And it's delish... really delish.
Had a nice chat with some folks hanging out, including the man with the plan, Jim, from Lettuce Eat Healthy, and we were on our way back home - a vegan raspberry cupcake tucked into the back seat.
Running's good, but brunch is better. That is all.
