continuing with the breakfast theme

On the morning of this picture I'd woken up late and had only about 45 minutes to get ready, but decided that about half an hour of it should be devoted to making breakfast anyway. And you know what? It was totally worth the mad-dash thereafter and the being late to class by 5 minutes.

Judging by the color of this smoothie, I think it was raspberry-strawberry. I always keep a good stock of frozen fruit in my freezer -- bananas, raspberries, and mangos for the most part. Every smoothie I make has strawberries, though, and I also almost always have fresh strawberries in my refridgerator also. I've noticed that if I try to use all frozen fruit for a smoothie my blender chokes up and wants to die, so fresh strawberries is easier on its old bones. I also throw in a handful of spinach since it's not even detectable with all the sweetness of the fruit, then blend it all up with orange juice and a bit of water.

Also pictured: Tempeh bacon doctored to my standards by sauteing it in a mixture of wok oil and Mongolian fire oil, with a touch of A1 sauce in the mix. Also, an onion bagel with fake cream cheese and green onions.

This was like the most awesome breakfast ever!

a breakfast that is not cereal

Normally I eat a totally boring breakfast. I'm not a morning person in any way, shape, or form, so usually my level of functioning upon waking is enough to merely pour myself a bowl of cereal, or if it's a good day then actually operate the microwave to make oatmeal.

I was feeling a bit more ambitious on the day of this picture though, and plus I had some really interesting fruit to use up before it went bad. One was a dinosaur egg, and the other a... plout? I can't remember the exact name. They were both plum-peach hybrids, but had slightly different coloring. I cut them up and spooned some granola and black cherry soy yogurt on top. It was *delicious*, and soooo filling. I was feeling totally stuffed when I went off to class.

Also, organic chemistry book? Gone. That evil spectre has since been banished from my life!
