I'm guilty of eating leftovers for breakfast, but my most shameful morning meal was probably the morning before i took my SAT's when i was a sophomore in high school. My mom wasn't big on cooking in the first place, but the school had sent home letters saying that test takers needed to eat a good, hearty breakfast before the test. Mom's version of a good, hearty breakfast? Corned beef has from a can, some Totino's Pizza Rolls (combination flavor, of course), a hardboiled egg, and some V-8 to wash it all down. How the hell was I supposed to concentrate on the SAT's after consuming that amalgamation of a breakfast?

I fall into the camp of anything goes for breakfast, though now that I'm more into the routine of my day job, I've been making mini-stratas (think breakfast casserole in a muffin pan) that reheat well (enough) through the week, so lately I've been much more breakfasty, saving leftovers for my lunch.

That doesn't mean I don't love pad thai for breakfast or that I've totally forgotten my childhood days of two hot dogs with velveeta cheese (no bun), and ketchup and mustard nearly every morning. I think anorexia must have been a big concern then because my parents would say things like "we're just thrilled to see her eating SOMETHING in the morning!" despite their usual hatred of hot dogs.

Nothing is "too weird" for me to eat for breakfast. I love leftovers. Pasta, chinese food, steak... bring it on. I really hate sweet food in the morning, though. Dried out pizza is preferable to a donut any day.

Last time I had a hangover, breakfast was a Fishamajig sandwich from Friendly's. I knew it would either make me feel ten times better or ten times worse. It worked out in my favor!
