brekkie


Never work before breakfast; if you have to work before breakfast, eat your breakfast first.  ~Josh Billings


There's only one obvious solution to having an hour of free time between work and classes: breakfast. And I definitely don't mean a bowl of cereal. Cereal is more usually for dinner... but that's a different story. I'm talking about a thick slice of bacon fried and married with an egg, cosied up together under a blanket of provolone between two halves of a quarter loaf of asiago focaccia liberally spread with mayo on one side and half an avocado on the other, the whole assemblage grilled in a bit of (okay, maybe quite a bit of) bacon grease.

Heck yes.

This baby was so delicious I didn't even take a picture before going to town on it. In my defence, I did have to get to class.

What I do have a picture of is the iced coffee I drank on my walk to campus - the most epic, Japanese canned coffee:



BLACK BOSS.

It is black. And it is boss. What more is there to say? I bought out the last of this stuff from one of my favourite Asian grocers in Iowa City, and my back-up plan in case they don't carry it any longer is buying it online at $2.50/can and flat rate shipping of $6.95 for orders under $99... not a terrible price. 

Then again, I'm only a little dedicated to these things.
