The Breakfast Club: The Lighter Side
Some days are egg and beans days and other days...are not. My go-to breakfast when I'm hankering for a meal is: 3 poached eggs, sourdough toast with no butter and some Vegemite and sides of spinach and roasted tomatoes and on very hungry mornings, beans. Today I had no real hunger, but I still felt like eating that big breakfast. My gut said feed me, but my brain said hold off.
Today was a "not" day. I decided to listen to the brain and hold off on the eggs & beans. I needed a bit of something to get the day going. Today I went with the simple but rewarding fruit salad and a long black...a very strong long black._____The menu at this cafe is expansive and full of dishes that we want to try; everything looks good. You have all kinds of choices, your go-to breakfast and then you have what you head is telling you. What do you choose? Do you go for the variety? The comfort food? The meal for the moment? How do you decide with so many options? Today was my birthday (12th April) and as coincidence would have it, the table number our server gave us was "12". I was staring at the 12 when I was thinking about "choices". There are many things I want to accomplish this year. There are lots of items on my menu. There are experiences from my past that I am going to lean on. There are choices to be made; I made one while I ate my fruit and drank my strong coffee. This year I am going to focus on the one thing that I am very good at and use it to accomplish my goals. Options and comfort food are good, but this year I am going to listen to my head...and my heart...and make choices that will satisfy my true hunger.Bon appetit.
