There is nothing that tempts me out of my comfortable bed more than knowing someone is cooking me breakfast. When The Daughter was home for a visit she made me her staple brekkie for Sunday brunch.
Mine consisted of fried eggs on toast, chilli beans, avocado and fried tomato !! To hers was added some crispy fried bacon.
All washed down with coffee.
A new treat she turned me on to is COLD COFFEE.
Made in the plunger and later left to drip through a coffee filter. Then it is left for 24 hours. When the 24 hours is up you add some sugar to boiling water, let cool a little, pour coffee and add the sugar mix.
I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.
I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment.
I am also a freelance writer/editor.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008.
I am writing my first novel.
I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web.
And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

My favourite breakfast ever … yet … smiles … was in Cuba a few months ago … sending my wordpress link … find Cuba … find the pic of my omelet guy .. smiles … so sweet … http://ckpeacemaker.wordpress.com/ Love, cat.
I was good til the cold coffee, but the pix look delish! And I can’t tell if it’s hot or cold from this, so… 😉
I need everything burning my tongue! Sick? I don’t know. Maybe.
Okay, now I’m hungry. I can do Iced Coffee, and had an aunt that drank cold coffee exactly the way you described, but I can’t drink it if it’s too old – it gets WAY too acidic for my sensitive stomach. Still looking for the veggie bacon at the grocery – last time we went, the brand I want to try was sold out. 😦 BUT I WILL try it, because I’d like to switch over to that…

No…not lucky, because I no longer eat bacon, and the aroma kills me every time.
