sunday morning weird
every sunday Ed puts up these fantastic recipes and or suggestions for delicious sounding breakfasts/brunches. However, i find that this sunday like most other, i cant be bothered to cook or even get dressed to go out. how many of you find that one day a week you just cant be bothered and end up eatting something really strange just because of lazziness? to answer my own, this morning is taziki sauce i made for falaffel the other day and a handful of wheat thins. what's your weird lazy day meal of choice? please dont let me be the only one that does this!?

On the weekends, my favorite breakfast is leftovers. I drink a protein smoothie M-F. Today I had sliced NY strip and brie with a bit of dijon on a toasted english muffin. Took me all of 5 minutes to make. That said, I would also have no problem with taziki and wheat thins!

my very favorite Sunday breakfast is cold leftover Chinese food. Second favorite is cold leftover pizza. : )
NanaJoie at 10:29AM on 10/19/08
I'm so glad i'm not the only one! I've had leftover chinese for breakfast many times usually i save the soup for breakfast. and the steak and brie sounds heavenly izy! talk about the breakfast of champions!
huneybumper at 10:38AM on 10/19/08
You know it girlfriend! It probably isn't wise, but I like to let the extra pizza sit on the counter all night and eat it for breakfast right out of the box. DH cringes.
izatryt at 10:42AM on 10/19/08
i had jalapeno and cream cheese poppers.

A couple of times a week, I eat a bowl of cold miso soup for breakfast (I make it fresh almost daily, just 2 cups or so, but may have a small bowl, or half a bowl, left - I reckon somewhat purposely, as I like having it cold for breakfast the next day:-). As the weather gets cooler, I may stop this habit though).
Yesterday I had one of those lazy morning you're talking about, huney, and had a small bowl of butternut squash risotto that I cooked the night before. Today...I don't know, I planned on making pancakes or waffles but just may convince my OH to have a slice of peanut butter mousse pie I made yesterday instead (since he's lactose intolerant, I made it with silken tofu, which somehow makes it appropriate breakfast food in my head:-)).

Good morning everyone. Ladies. :-)
I'm eating a bag of Jack Link's peppered beef jerky right this minute.
Friggen delicious. I can't stop with 1 or 2 pieces. MUST EAT WHOLE BAG.. lol
FastFoodCritic at 11:19AM on 10/19/08
@FFC ~ isn't that a ton of sodium?
izatryt at 11:21AM on 10/19/08
i used to love hickory farms beef jerky. uum uum good.
dearrie at 11:24AM on 10/19/08
Yeah, the salt is the only downer. I only buy this stuff 2 or 3 times a month.
But damn... I feel like an animal when I eat this stuff.. I'm ripping it apart with my fingers.. tearing it with my teeth... grunting, moaning... salivating like a beast... something happens to a person when they eat simple seasoned slabs of meat.
I love it.
I'm scared.
FastFoodCritic at 11:27AM on 10/19/08
omgFFC! that sounds like a totally sensual experience! giving in to the animal in you completely. hmm that sounds like the begining of a porno novel. i'll go hide in the corner now.
huneybumper at 11:33AM on 10/19/08
@FFC, thanks a lot ... now I feel like driving over to the Cabela's location near here and getting some of that stuff!
I'm a guy. You're a guy. Guys don't frankly care about the salt.
Where are those pretzels ...
LunaPierCook at 11:33AM on 10/19/08
@FFC ~ I am crying from laughing so hard! You should have a sitcom or at a minimum a stand-up show.
izatryt at 11:35AM on 10/19/08
@FFC ~ needed that laugh. After all the grandiose pompous annoying rhetoric on a couple of other threads, maybe I can shake off the urge to purge. THANK YOU!
PerkyMac at 11:36AM on 10/19/08
Shooot.. if I could... I'd get a hundred pounds of good quality beef jerky, I would cover the whole kitchen table with layers of the stuff and roll around in it.. just letting those prime cuts of meat rub all over me... hell, after a while I could lick myself and taste like beef jerky...
..hot damn...
FastFoodCritic at 11:48AM on 10/19/08
Damn FFC - I was nauseous from the grandiloquent hot air rant of another, but that just put me over the edge. Must visit the vomitoria.
PerkyMac at 11:54AM on 10/19/08
i have a outfit for that.
dearrie at 11:54AM on 10/19/08
@FFC ~ I'll bring the video equipment. I see the first entry in next year's Sundance Film Fesitval.
izatryt at 12:00PM on 10/19/08
leftover kibbee and flat bread with 2 date mamoul cookies for breakfast both from a Lebanese festival I went to on Fri.... I usually lazy it up Sun. morning because It is a big cooking day for me and the last thing I want to do is spend a lot of time slaving away over breakfast.... Now on to the pumpkin soup for tonights dinner...@FFC...Hey!, chuck a piece of that jerky over here...
Pavlov at 12:02PM on 10/19/08
@FFC - Are you entertaining and stacking your "little people" while licking? Lickin' jerky. Damn! It's Sunday morning and my mind is in the gutter!
BTW - I had a HoHo and a Diet Pepsi for breakfast. My mouth is still coated in Crisco.
Josdean at 12:05PM on 10/19/08
I am going to the store now. All of you behave until I get back. Like Pavvie, I am making (rather attempting to make) pumpkin soup today.
Yo Perk ~ Punkin if youse are from Philly.
izatryt at 12:10PM on 10/19/08
I slept through breakfast, Having it for lunch and it's too traditional. Coffee, OJ, peppers & eggs on a British muffin. Sorry for no weirdness today, but I think that patent belongs to FFC, and all these sweet ladies are encouraging him. You'll get what you asked for......haha. I think I'd better come clean and admit that I'm 5'5 1/2", so do not qualify as a little person, even though I really am stacked. :-O
PerkyMac at 12:13PM on 10/19/08
you guy's make me laugh
dearrie at 12:16PM on 10/19/08
you guys are weirdos.
FastFoodCritic at 12:18PM on 10/19/08
Yo Iz ~ good luck on the punkin soup and so glad you'll get to fire up that virgin oven. I'd like to see your recipe - especially for the cider cream.
p.s. has to be punkin, too lazy to put lips together to make the umpk sound. Philly speak is the laziest ever, is it not? Hope I only pretend speak it. Might have to bone up on my Latin. ;)
PerkyMac at 12:21PM on 10/19/08
Seriously though, I would SO do that!
lol... roflol...
FastFoodCritic at 12:21PM on 10/19/08
Ah, yes FFC, and we worship at your altar.
Josdean at 12:23PM on 10/19/08
how many licks does it take to..1-2-3-
dearrie at 12:35PM on 10/19/08
Okay, I'm back. Looks like you have all been busy while I was gone!
@FFC ~ Would it be possible to borrow your mad skills to assist a good friend of mine?
izatryt at 1:44PM on 10/19/08
Hubby loves leftovers topped with fried or poached eggs. In fact, his Sunday Morning Weird was leftover penne and meat sauce topped with eggs over easy (not exactly a traditional Asian breakfast, but hey!).
He also does this with potroast, beef stew, chili, pizza... YES! Pizza! Always cracks me up (no pun intended).
Come to think of it, I may have to have to reheat a slice of leftover meatball pizza and top it with a fried egg in his honor (gosh I miss him... sniffle...)
LoCo at 1:56PM on 10/19/08
Love the food ideas. But can't stand the thoughts of the heavy flirting with unseen people online who may look like aged tubs of lard filled to overflowing.
Back to my rhetoric. Overblown but not obese.
foodvox at 1:57PM on 10/19/08
Cereal with Animal Crackers as a chaser.
therealchiffonade at 2:14PM on 10/19/08
I can't speak for the others, but not obese and Never overblown. All in good fun. Sometimes reality sucks, so our SE chums help take the edge off.
PS to All: Rough times for me right now. Thanks for keeping me laughing!
Josdean at 3:52PM on 10/19/08
Hahaha, good posts. FFC, you had me rolling!
I usually spend sundays snacking...I tend to sleep in and dont have a traditional breakfast, although sometimes I get up and do the eggs and toast...
@LoCo- I tend to put a fried egg on anything I can!
mayoxqueen at 3:56PM on 10/19/08
I ate red lettuce leaves dunked in creamy feta dressing at 6am standing in front of the fridge with the door open.
Noon came a slice of cold salami pizza.
Holding on 5pm for some burgers with said feta dressing, all beef hot dogs and a quick red skin potato salad with green onions, parsley and a combo of plain yogurt and mayo.
Maybe caramel corn for Desperate Housewives. Maybe....
ChelleyD01 at 4:08PM on 10/19/08
Can't eat when Steelers are playing. However, I plan on chasing down my breakfast HoHo with Schnitzel and Spaetzle. And no, I'm not German (Irish), but German food rocks. Comfort food at its best.
@Chelley - Apple crisp will be my Desperate Housewives accompaniment, but if you're making the REAL caramel corn, you might have to send me the recipe.
Josdean at 4:19PM on 10/19/08
Your Sunday foods don't sound too bad. Not only am I too lazy to cook anything even remotely tasty on Sunday's, but it's right around Sunday that I'm out of groceries. If I'm up for it I'll either walk to the corner liquor store in my jammies for some ham and bread, thus creating what is affectionately known as "liquor store sandwiches," or I just nibble on whatever I can find in the house.
I just woke up about half an hour ago, which is around 1 p.m. in Los Angeles. I'm having a Diet Coke and peanut butter toast. Yes folks, somehow this has become my life.
PumpkinBear at 4:42PM on 10/19/08
my Sunday mornings usually consist of me trying to convince the bf to make Chilaquiles. If he doesn't, I'm left to my own devices, which like most everyone else ends up being leftovers, like today it was a honey mustard chicken wrap. I only made elaborate weekend breakfasts when I was trying to lure the boyfriend in. Now, we both agree that it's better to sleep in. =)
blankplate at 6:14PM on 10/19/08
izatyrt--doesn't your husband understand that pizza left on the counter is like a delicacy in and of itself? Yes, hot pizza is lovely, but day-after pizza is like pizza's second life--or so I told myself as a college student. Even in high school, I never understood why my mother reheated it.
Oh, and you have to leave it the box, no refrigerating it in silver paper (although refrigerating is okay, you just have to put the cardboard in).
HeartofGlass at 6:55PM on 10/19/08
@Heart ~ Right!
izatryt at 7:15PM on 10/19/08
My DH always leaves the pizza out after I conk out for the night. I've eaten cold pizza in the am with the works. Good stuff! Haven't gotten sick yet.
Josdean at 8:19PM on 10/19/08
I make breakfast at least once a weekend. Pancakes or a spinach and feta omelet, home fries and turkey sausage. A quick fav for us is one slice of pork roll and egg whites on bagel with cheese.
Although there are days when the cold pizza or leftovers are hard to resist. Thanksgiving is coming and the Pumpkin pie breakfast is one of my favs. I try to make one hot breakfast a weekend.
I am off the muffins this year. For years I baked fresh hot muffins with fruit and we ate them. Butter and honey or jelly. This year no muffins.
JerzeeTomato at 9:17PM on 10/19/08
I ate oysters for breakfast. We bought a half bushel for a "gathering" last night, and with the low country boil we had quite a few left over. The fire was still going a little bit so we just added another log and put the remaining oysters on. They were yummy with hot sauce. Not the breakfast of champions, but no wasted food here. My waistline says this must be my motto here lately.
floridagirl at 9:27PM on 10/19/08
If anyone else is a fan of singer/comedienne Christine Lavin, she has a great song called Cold Pizza for Breakfast. I know you'll get a kick out of it. You can hear it here:

Enjoy!!!
PerkyMac at 9:34PM on 10/19/08
omg! Perky thank you! i needed a good laugh today and that did it! i just spent the last 1/2 hr watching everything i could find of hers, she reminds me alot of tom smith. Thank you Lady!
huneybumper at 11:15AM on 10/20/08
At a weekend house party one hungover Sunday morning -- no one else is up and I'm starving. Last night's barbeque leftovers covered the table because we were too inebriated to put anything away. I got a piece of squishy white bread and scooped some cold baked beans into it for an impromptu foldover. Yum! I still eat it now and then, for the memories of a fun, carefree weekend. It tastes good, too!
Editmom at 1:35PM on 10/20/08
@Editmom... you've got plenty of company... the English have done forever... beans on toast, commonly thrown together for tea (as in supper), and sometimes served with breakfast...
LoCo at 1:43PM on 10/20/08
@huney ~ my distinct pleasure! I have been a fan of hers for over 20 years and have seen her in person more times than I can remember. She travels all over the US & Canada (and maybe elsewhere), so keep an eye out for folk festivals and such. Her finale (with flaming twirling batons) is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Her material changes constantly because she writes and sings about current events. Before Charles married Diana, she wrote one with the lyrics. Oh Charles, Prince Charles, do you have a last name? I was gonna ask you that on our first date. Forget it! Things have changed." She doesn't do them anymore, so you really need to get her albums. I wonder if Adam listened to Cold Pizza for Breakfast? Maybe he already knows of her, since I know she does a lot of shows in NYC. Anyway, so glad you enjoyed it. I think she's awesome.
PerkyMac at 1:50PM on 10/20/08
Chocolate cake and ice cream isn't a weird breakfast....is it?
embolini9 at 3:34PM on 10/20/08
@embolini no way! milk wheat heck girl thats health food! not to mention all the antiocidents from the chocolate! you should have a double because thats pure health food! thats my story and i'm sticking to it ;-)
huneybumper at 8:03PM on 10/20/08
left over vegetarian sushi, peanut butter out of the jar, and a soft boiled egg.
Aynsl156 at 8:32PM on 10/20/08
@huney - Our logic is awesome. I'm totally having it again tomorrow! (Eggs? OJ? Who needs all that saturated fat and acidity? I'm sticking with chocolate ;))
embolini9 at 10:13AM on 10/21/08
embolini9--my rationale for chocolate for breakfast is that I'd end up eating it anyway, so I'm saving calories by not eating the healthy breakfast I am supposed to eat ;)
HeartofGlass at 10:22AM on 10/21/08
@Heart - awesome point! I also think that calories you consume before noon don't count...that pesky metabolism doesn't slow down til the afternoon, right? If I have chocolate cake in the morning, I have the whoolllle day to burn it off--not so much at 8pm, right? Right.
embolini9 at 11:08AM on 10/21/08
utz potato chips used to scoop up baked beans....mmmm
hammondcheese at 11:39AM on 10/21/08
@embolini9 & Heart & huney ~ chocolate cake, ice cream and a cup of coffee make a perfect breakfast because you get to work it off. that is normally eaten within a couple of hours of sleep. i just might have to bake a chocolate cake. do you think that reasoning would work if i skipped the ice cream and just had cake and coffee for breakfast until the cake is gone? hmmmmm..........need to cogitate. :-D
