Breakfast ritual

Eat only when you are hungry, not because it is one o'clock or seven o'clock or whatever - Jane Fonda


Depending on the mood, that's currently what I'm eating while watching vlogs/movies, blogging, reading book/news/, writing to do lists, listening to music...

I do not usually eat in the morning.  At that time, I just had a hot chocolate, or a fruit, or grabbed an ordinary croissant (at the boulangerie on the way to work), or a biscuit around 10-11 a.m.
I only eat when I'm hungry.  And can't eat normal food for breakfast, so can't eat Anglo/Asian/world food in the morning.

Now I have my eating habits in check (for the most part).

  • Chocolate granola cereals: baked golden whole oat flakes and pieces of chocolate (rich in fibre)
  • Crunchy oat granola fruit & nut

    1. Already drink a glass of water right after waking up
    2. After the beauty routine, go to the kitchen
    3. Boil water in a kettle

    7. In the meantime: put away the dishes from the night before, clean as I go, open exterior shutters, one load of laundry...
    8. Poor boiling water into the teapot
    9. Pour the hot oat milk into the bowl
    10. Wash the dishes
    11. In Winter: clean the fireplace glass, remove the ashes before building a fire, and light a fire
    12. Give kitchen counters a quick wipe down before eating breakfast

        Sautéed potatoes, Grandma's way

        Image
        If you don't like potatoes, you cannot be trusted I love starchy food , cereal grains and some root vegetables.  I love potato : air fryer or oven chips, baked, Dauphinoise, curry, mash, roasted, salad,... and of course sautéed, very easy and simple. Potatoes, one of the most versatile vegetables, provide essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins (vitamin C, B6...), and minerals (potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium...). Ingredients 1 tbsp grapeseed or rapseed oil * 2 potatoes, cut into rings each, about 5 mm salt, pepper 1 garlic clove, minced herbs, finely chopped (chives, or parsley or thyme) Preparation Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and fry over a medium-high heat, turning them occasionally until they begin to brown.  The edges are crispy. Then add pepper, parsley, and stir for a few seconds. *  I'm going to stop using olive oil : first, it is more and more expensive and above all,  olive oil scams  are proliferating if it is not...
