It depends if I have time - anyway, I rarely eat right after getting out of bed, my stomach needs to wake up too.
When it finally does and I don't have time (or place) to do something elaborate, I eat sweets: my usual is two "pain au chocolat" with black coffee or a chocolate-banana muffin with a huuuge latte - and I eat these at my desk, in front of computer :-(
When I am in a hotel, I usually go for the full English breakfast, I just love the mashies and the fried tomato...and when I was in China, I haven't eaten anything sweet throughout my whole stay (even ice-cream come with flavors like corn and peas!) and the breakfast was just great that way. Once I even had some sour-soup with noodles at 8 a.m., yumm.
One thing that starts my day beautifully is the fruit salad, though. All those morning when I have it are just great :-)
What I love to do is have something right after getting out of my bed (which might be not exactly right after waking up, but that would be another post...).
Here in London, I sometimes treat myself with cookies : big, large, industrial ones, ok, "baked" by the local superstore, but I put them in my oven for 2 min, and the chocolate gets melty... I generally get sick after the third one and need a liter of tea to recover.
On other occasions, there is the double-pain au chocolate right after the 40 min suburbs train commuting. That is like a reward, but sharing it with lynx is the best way your stomach can start a day.
when I was working, I had a decaf and a donut each morning for a while. than my organs said enough and I switched to tea and muffin. Since I'm home I eat cereals, I love the one with honey and almond, with milk. Some cookies later and fake coffee (made of barley!). A piece of cheese with or without bread...after that joghurt and banana...this makes me survive till noon when I can have my well-deserved lunch.
I had no cookie this morning, no pain au chocolat either, only a slice of bread with honey (and butter of course) -- and my stomach is already aching! (it's not even 12 yet).
What shall I do ? resist the call of the piles of KitKat lying in my office drawer ? See by yourself, here are the alternative options: go downstairs, cross the street and buy myself a jacket potato with beans and melted cheddar on top, or go to this thai vegetarian buffet. My stomach is aching, my soul desperate. Lynx, I need to share a pain au chocolat with you.
Real coffee is not permitted while breastfeeding, it goes into the milk and makes the small guy spin around they say. More importantly, I can't seem to tolerate real coffee anymore, it makes my heart pound and my brain dizzy. The other day I pushed the stoller into the local cafe and asked for a caramel macchiato made of decaf. After I drank it, it turned out not to be decaf. I was up all night, trembling and my thoughts rambling arund. My son couldn't sleep either. I drank it around noon. And I'd drank so much coffee before, I don't understand it.
Tarelle, I hope your problem solved though I can't imagine either bean or thai food for an aching stomach. For me that calls for milk (yoghurt maybe).
