I've got some cricket powder, to just mix in with other stuff when cooking...I like the idea of it, very expensive though

Today I learned that the Swedish for porridge is "gröt", which seems apt.

Today I also learned that my memory no longer stretches back as far as January 12th 2021.

Having a rubbish memory just means that every day is full of new wonders ;)

Like the goldfish in a bowl - “Oooh look, there’s a castle”. :grin:

It’s great for your step count too.

I live in a 3 story house with 2 forgetful children, a forgetful wife and then there's me who's probably the worst of the lot. I'm normally half way to my daily step count by the time I get back from the school run and we only live 5 minutes walk away :)

I'm not a fussy eater, (but my better' alf says I'm a foodie.)
I could find wriggle room for them in the modern parlance :grin:
I hope you think you know, what I might of exactly meant.

With my no show at this year's WWB, I had roughly equal amounts of sadness in my heart, and bacon and eggs in the fridge...
So at least a compensatory bike ride (first one in ages, and boy do I feel unfit!) with cooked breakfast with a view was in order.

Forgive me, this has probably already been done, but I discovered a while back that a carton of 6 eggs happens to fit very neatly into the smaller of my mess tins, which I think is brilliant (does anyone know btw if that is pure coincidence, or is there some method behind this?), and provides a safe way to transport eggs. Except no-one has six eggs for breakfast right? So there could be a lot of wasted space...

I used to a have a really handy small plastic container with lid from my mum, which I have since lost, then realized just how great it was for taking bikepacking, for coffee or some nuts or whatever... Took me a while to work out that what it actually was, was a sample pot (yes, THAT kind - eugh!).

So the idea was born to get some more of these pots, and use them in the spare spaces in the egg box, to make a kind of cooked breakfast kit for on the go.

Ta da:

In case you can't see, so there's two eggs, some mushrooms, and pots with butter, coffee, and bacon (yes, a true bacon roll :lol: )

After slogging up one of my favourite hills, I chucked a soggy left up to a lovely and lesser known hill with trig point and standing stone, and one of those stones with a marking on (remind me, did someone here know what these mean? It's a T on the stone), found a sheltered spot with a view next to some gorse bushes, and got cooking in the drizzle.

To be fair, my little fire dragon struggled with the whole cooking bacon eggs and mushrooms thing, I had to use both of the tabs I had brought, so had nothing left for a brew (not good). Worth remembering I think, they're ok for just heating something up, but for actual cooking I'll stick with gas from now on...

Excellent breakfasting. I think I need to move on from the "just add water" approach.

Not so sure tbh...it was not pretty, that's why there's no photo...I just frantically scrambled and stirred away to distribute what little heat there was so that I had something hopefully edible 🤣

That's the first justification I've seen for Brexit.
