Bushboy asked us to post a photo of what we had for breakfast today. Last night my sister reminded me of a breakfast my mother used to make that was our favorite. It was corn bread or cornmeal muffins with Karo corn syrup. My sister had just made some for herself so I decided to do the same this morning. Only problem was the lack of corn syrup, so I made do with maple. Didn’t taste as good as my mother’s, though. Maybe I needed my sister’s company to enjoy it fully.
So what did you have for breakfast?Â

I crawled ut of bed early and went to the grocery store. I realized when I got home that I wasn’t sure if I’d had breakfast before I left or not — if I did, it would have been a protein shake and a bunch of supplements. Lunch was a leftover appetizer from some takeout over the weekend, a sort of Greek flatbread, and supper was a PB&J sandwich and some chips. Till now it’s been a mish-mash, but today’s shopping spree will help for the next week or two.

Not had corn muffins. Corn syrup doesn’t sound that healthy but it must be tasty with corn bread 🙂

It is like any other syrup but made out of corn. It is clear and sweet.

Probably too sweet for me

My morning meal often consists of cornmeal muffins warmed with butter and honey rather than syrup. But yum! anyhow.

I eat quite randomly, so today’s ‘breakfast’ was a few bites of chocolate cream pie–excellent, by the way. Later we are making vegan meatballs for lunch/dinner–
That cornbread looks great.

Ah. Chocolate cream pie. My very favorite. Haven’t had any in forty years, probably.

I wandered into the trap of chocolate pudding and whipped cream fairly recently, and when I saw that they had a whole homemade chocolate cream pie, it seemed cost-effective to buy it and consider it to be ‘pudding and whipped cream’ for a few days instead of buying the other. It’s conservation in a way, and supporting local pie-makers. That makes it patriotic and nutritious. It is genuinely good as well.

Plus I can eat it at home, so that covers all the social distancing requirements, and keeps me from having to hit people who try to eat any of it. This was obviously well-planned.

You have heard my chocolate poem set to music? If you missed it I’ll send a link. We are of a mind about chocolate and sharing.
