Out for 2 weeks - Never used microwave once

[Legacy Posts]

Shouldn't this be in the FOOD section?

Lex! What is that black stuff on that piece of bread (?)

To each his own... but I'm with Ken on the fried potatoes. (Mind you, they're not what we call ''french fries'' but instead are generally sliced very thin and sauteed until tender and browned, in a little butter or olive oil. Mmmm. A great thing to have with an egg fried ''over easy.'')

I understand the continental breakfast - they serve that at poolside in all the tony casinos in Vegas, fruit juice, a couple of rolls and a coffee.

Now that is about what we like to do at sunup when we begin driving for the day. We pop a thermos of freshly-brewed coffee close to the driver and some sticky buns nearby while we watch the sun come up. However, along about 9 or ten it is time to pull in and cook something more substantial. The thin discs of potatoes fried in butter are a nice compliment to the ham and eggs. And, maybe we should call this brunch because now we are free to hike or go take pictures with only a sandwich in our pack for the middle of the day.

Maybe it is just a difference in culture on the eating habits. ... no need for a microwave here!

Beautiful pictures, Ken! When you all come south, down to Oregon, let us know. We would love to have you stop by or at the least, have a meal together.

I wish I had my digital camera here so I could show you OUR typical breakfast -- at home and on the road. It is a baggie of Fiber One Cereal mixed with Good Friends Kashi Cereal, no milk. We have it every morning along with our coffee. In fact, I'm munching on it as I type right now. That's why I liked Tim's motto of:
FIBERglass people are REGULAR folks. ;)

ok I'm game - please give a written description of your normal breakfast.

Tea, 2 slices of bread, 1 with chocolate grains, 1 with jam. On the photo there is no second slice of bread because we ran out of bread ;-) In stead of that there is a typical Dutch bake called 'beschuit', an airy biscuit.

So Mary, the black stuff is actually brown chocolate grains.

Lucky people,

We wish we were with you on the relaxing stops at the coast.

We are not there yet. I prepare in advance for our weekends, while working full time. We get off at 5 PM and dash down to the coast for the weekend. And then relax for almost two wonderful days.

Breakfast? We usually have a hard boiled egg, some cereal or a bagel. The eggs were boiled before we left for the weekend.

We usually grab a sub for dinner on our way to set up at the campground. No cooking. On Saturday we usually have a nice dinner that has been pre-prepared and reheated in the microwave.

During the winter at the coast you often have to face drizzle or rain early in the morning. But boy oh boy are the hiking trails beautiful. Especially with an extra nice sandwich prepared with sunflower seeds, avacadoes, some chicken or cheese. Along with a nice thermos of hot tea to warm up with after the hike. We rarely go to the coast during the summer months.

We trek to the mountains, where the weather is so beautiful that we do all of our cooking outdoors over the fire or on the coleman stove. Unless the skeeters are out. Then we retreat to our wonderful little trailer!

Short weekend trips call for a microwave! We are lucky that our Casita has such a large fridge. Holds everything we need for a weekend. Even a freezer. We need to try ice cream. Anyone tried it? A new experience for us after our coleman tent trailer and ice chest.
