Sorry to hear about the start of your day, Gutter. I hope things improve, and I have some advice.

I know you don't have any pets, but in case foraging in the parks is your thing, be careful there in Chicago:

Thanks for sharing the video and the advice!
I have a feeling Pockets knew damn well what he/she was doing. Jonesing for a feces buzz, went searching for it, found it, and then was living the good life!
Not funny thing is.... This morning when I walked by the hospital I witnessed a bunch of people who may have pulled the same move Pockets did.

one of the best parts about camping is breakfast cooking, with bacon or sausage fat playing a starring role

I'm not a fan of toasting bread in bacon fat, butter is better.
I'd only toast one side of each slice.
Shredded lettuce has it's place (in gringo tacos) but BLTs ain't it.
I hate bacon weights.
Good job salting the home grown tomatoes.

One of the mysteries of nature is how even the most common meals/ingredients seem to benefit so greatly simply by being cooked over a campfire.

I try to take advantage of bacon fat any time I can. I make bacon and egg fried (brown) rice regularly and use it there. I make enough for 3 large servings but don't often eat it for breakfast, not least because I rarely eat breakfast anymore. When I do, it's almost always because being with my granddaughters is the perfect excuse. (Prove me wrong...)

Speaking of "breakfast", in one of the Christian Braun videos I posted recently the interviewer asks him what his favorite meal of the day is, and he seemed adamant it was breakfast. I feel him.

I was surprised at the shredded lettuce too, and also only toast one side of the bread.
When I make taco I often use the "carnitas" pork from Costco. I use shredded cabbage for the crisper texture, and a hard-shelled corn tortilla, with Herdez salsa.

I use butter to toast the bread~ 80% of the time, but also use mayo. I love avocado and often include it.

Finding decent tomatoes is the rate-limiting step for BLTs.

I use mayo on the inside on both bread slices, so sue me.

i concur with CB…breakfast is by far the best

i could eat classic breakfast foods ever meal of the day. i can’t say that about lunch/dinner meals

im the opposite....I routinely eat lunch and dinner foods for breakfast and almost never eat breakfast foods (except of course sausage and bacon)

Dinner's ceiling is way higher than breakfast's.
Don't get me wrong, a good breakfast is heavenly, and I will eat breakfast for dinner for sure, but if I could rank my top 50 meals of all time, dinner would dominate the list.

Biscuits and gravy > OG salad and breadsticks

If by biscuits and gravy you mean The Tour of Italy!™ from Olive Garden then yes.

I love breakfast and especially bacon and biscuits and gravy, but ^^^.

That being said, I guess I try to avoid savory, umami tastes for breakfast, and save that for dinner, where I'll appreciate it more 'cause it's rarer.

I think one knock against breakfast, and it doesn't have to be a knock but it comes with the territory, is it can lean sweet, or some of it's greatest hits for many are sweet.

And sweet is fine but it's more David McCormack than it is savory Udoka Azubuike or Wayne Simien.

Give me:
A standard or english breakfast ( two eggs over easy/scrambled, bacon/sausage, hash browns or potatoes, toast - throw in a tomato, mushrooms and baked beans - i'll skip the blood pudding ), corned beef hash, breakfast burritos or sandwich, biscuits and gravy.

Over:
Waffles, french toast, pancakes and the like.

That sounds far superior to breakfast in Germany and Denmark, because










cold, oily, fish.

From what I remember living in Germany, breakfast was mostly just lots and lots of breads and pastries. All kinds. So much bread.
Then maybe some cheese and thin sliced meat and probably grapes.

I lost 15 pounds living there because I didn't like the food.
