Thursday Thoughts on Pinto Beans for Breakfast
This morning I woke up at 10 minutes after 7. To get to work by 8 I have to leave here by 7:40. That didn’t leave me much time to do anything but the absolute basics. On the way out the door I went looking for a pop tart but there were none to be found. I arrived at work on time, but hungry.
I grabbed a cup of coffee, got to work and soon forgot about my stomach. Then a co-worker brought in a pot of pinto beans that she intended to share with us at lunch. I couldn’t wait, so I had pinto beans for breakfast.
In my grandmother’s younger days when everyone went out to work on the farm, they often had huge breakfasts: fried chicken, sliced tomatoes, biscuits, gravy, the works.
I don’t normally eat much in the morning and I consider certain foods breakfast foods and others I wouldn’t dream of eating early in the morning. Fried chicken just doesn’t sound appealing to me for breakfast, but then again I never imagined I’d ever eat pinto beans for breakfast either!
What’s the most unusual breakfast food you have ever eaten?
Never heard of friend pinto bean cakes, but honestly, they don’t sound good! Love ya, Toots!
Fish???? In the morning????? Excuse me while I gag!!!!!
Fish. Kippered Herring and eggs. A bygone European tradition.
Mother made me “special fried pinto bean cakes” for breakfast. That was probably the healthiest breakfast I would eat. If not that…..pickled bologna. Also and I still do it today, vegatable soup.
When I make it I will eat it three times a day. Mother always cooked vegtable soup on snow days so I feel like that’s a must.
Works great for me but tonight some family members had to go to McDonalds! My feelings aren’t hurt. I know what I’m having tomorrow.
P.S. Please don’t tell Mike I’m throwing out the oats he cooks me. 🙂
You are so funny!
Salad. Not fruit salad but leafy green salad. I just had a yen for a salad so I ate a salad. It was very tasty too, for that time of morning. lol 🙂
This is too funny! I can’t imagine eating pintos fro breakfast either but they look good right about now! Yummm!
