I'm sure when I had it , it was lumpyish too . But proper yogurt would be - most yogurts have extra non fat milk powder and or modified starch ect - the only smooth thick natural natural yogurt that I know of is something like onken bio pot ( it's made in the pot you buy it in so they don't have to disturb the set to pack it ) ( useless info )

Aye, but it also just tasted off. I love yogurt, including sour ones, but this was just plain gone off. Like you know the way there's no mistaking gone off milk? Well, it was just like that.

Right, I'm away and breakfasts consists of this most days...

sliced onions with lettuce and tomatoes with a sesame sauce, fresh oranges (cos I had a terrible cold) and some home made yoghurt with fresh fruit cubes, including (Lidl) pears, apples, pineapple, strawberries and mango.

then freshly ground coffee.

The yoghurt is a home made concoction. It reminds me of Dr. Who's tardis as the same jam jar feeds us all every day. Then it's left in a sunny or warm spot and the next day it regenerates itself. It's got yeast in it, they say...

Oh yeah, and on the first morning we had this Sakura cake. it was delicious. It was small (so I included my finger in the photo) but it was the last slices so we got half each.

I had the house to myself this morning so I got creative with some French toast. I added some vanilla extract and orange zest to the mix. The zest made it. A teensy burn on one end but sure it added to the texture :v

Topped it was some cinnamon and honey and I was in business. Mmmmm.

Just had a thought though, what would the rest of you do with the last dregs of eggy mixture after you put the bread in the pan? Would you add it to the pan or just dump it?

vicwatson · 03-04-2015 10:10AM

^^^^^

OH it must be added to the pan, its the french toast law, leftovers into the pan with last slice!!

tampopo · 03-04-2015 01:44PM

This morning's effort,

yoghurt in a small glass with fruit. Two blueberries and a raisin or two.

followed by a fry. A couple of rashers and some sliced ham. Omellete out of shot to the right.

with a bit of green thrown in.
Finished with a coffee and this butter square pan. It's not cut all the way to the bottom so looked cool.

And a small bowl of tomato soup with a hint of minestrone thrown in...

Yeah I'd just pour it over the bread once I've put it on the pan! Eggstra eggy goodness!

Bank holiday Saturday morning ....

Last night's doggy bag chicken wings from 53 The Avenue in Killester with some Pho Soup.

Wakey, wakey!

Cakeboyee20 · 04-04-2015 11:33AM

A big bar of salted caramel chocolate and a glass of water.

Fluffy buttermilk pancakes (toasted from the freezer) with leftover lemon tart filling blobbed on top (the remaining filling was cooked outside the tart until custardy)

Fancied something different this morning so made a Spanish omelette.

MissFlitworth · 09-04-2015 10:08AM

Slice of cheese & a handful of almonds. Supposed to be lemon yoghurt & oats but my 'aldi deluxe' lemon curd yoghurt looks greenish and smells not great compared to the bucket of loveliness that was Killowen last week. Morning appetite is a fickle, fickle thing.

biketard · 09-04-2015 10:39AM

Green tea, because I like my caffeine intake to be as healthy as possible,...

... and chocolate cake.

northgirl · 13-04-2015 10:20AM

Raspberries & Special K (Oats & Honey) - An old lady in the supermarket told me that "it keeps her regular" the other day - a ringing endorsement

Mrs Fox · 14-04-2015 11:43AM

Banana cinnamon pancakes with berries, pecan and maple syrup.

fussyonion · 15-04-2015 10:17AM

Hard boiled egg with Frank's RedHot sauce, one slice of wholemeal toast, small glass of pineapple juice, cup of tea and a nectarine.
Sounds boring but as I'm not usually a breakfast eater, I actually enjoyed it

Shenshen · 15-04-2015 10:40AM

I made pineapple, mango and rum jam yesterday, so breakfast was some of that on toast.

It turned out rather nice indeed

MissFlitworth · 15-04-2015 01:11PM

Stale waffle (waffle iron rather than birdseyepotatowaaaafflestheyrewafflyversatile) in the car on the way for it to fail its NCT. Bad car. Suprisingly nice stale waffle though. Cardamon & vanilla in it.

I read that in an English accent (Cardamom and vanilla, innit)

CinammonGirl · 15-04-2015 02:27PM

Cup of hot water with lime, bowl of chopped up apple, walnuts, oats, dried cranberries and natural yoghurt - yum (then round to friend's house for strong coffee and gingerbread for the second course!)

Nuttela and Banana

Mrs Fox · 16-04-2015 11:44AM

Woke up to serious hunger this morning. Someone here posted mushroom steak sometime last week. Thought I'd give it a try. Love my mushrooms!
Portobello mushroom steak, egg fried sunny side up, mixed salad with basil and feta.

I had a wrap with a strange combination of scrambled eggs (made with coconut oil), grated mozzarella, some sliced Jalepenos, and (randomly) a squirt of steak house marinade that I found in the fridge. Didn't bother taking any photo as it didn't look anything special, but it tasted AMAZING! Maybe it was the coconut oil in the eggs that made the difference.

(By the way, I don't think I'll ever go back to using any other oil now that I've started cooking with coconut oil. Would definitely recommend it - it makes everything taste better, it's healthier, it makes washing up much easier, and it's great as a moisturiser too! And for those who - like me - don't like the taste of coconut - I don't find that I can taste it at all in the food.)

I bought some coconut oil yesterday and I'm confused about the fact the saturated fat on the back is 99g.
I thought saturated fat was bad for you?

vicwatson · 18-04-2015 07:50PM

Toast and raspberry jam from ALDI. Yumm

Most regular posters on the Nutrition and Diet forum would agree that saturated fat is in fact good for you. Obviously everything in moderation! I think monounsaturated is the one you have to avoid. If you do a search in that forum there's loads of info (would post links but I'm on my phone!)
