breakfast food

I think I don’t really groove on Cherios for breakfast.

Given a choice, I eat leftovers. It does not matter if it is mac and cheese or a spicy curry—I prefer “real food” to any cereal-based breakfast. I enjoy the occasional bowl of oatmeal, but I won’t make it for myself before heading out the door to work.

This is because I am a “morning person.” I wake up and am ready to go. Right. Now. I prefer a glass of juice to coffee (although have been doing the latter, in part because it is something warm to drink while walking to work). Traditionally, I find it annoying to wait for others in the morning, because I don’t “require” time to wake up, read the paper, etc.

(All of this, to some extent, assumes I’m well-rested. After a week or two of nights with six hours of sleep or less, I’m less excited about most everything. That said, waking to even the most gentle of alarms has never been a problem for me.)

This is not what Carrie was talking about. But… tasty?

So, Carrie just pointed me at this great suggestion regarding the production (and freezing) of tasty breakfast burritos. Clearly, once we have a chest freezer, I’ll have to whip up a batch or two of these. I have the home-made salsa in the freezer from this summer, and using some of that for these would make a very tasty (spicy) way to wake up in the mornings.

Mmm… breakfast burritos…
