Can a cup of tea be considered a “hot breakfast?” I hope so, or I’m out of luck this month.
February is Hot Breakfast Month. This isn’t a hard month for people to celebrate, since most have a hot breakfast. Maybe you have toast, maybe you have eggs and bacon, or maybe you have hot oatmeal. Heck, even a warm muffin Dunkin’ Donuts could be considered a hot breakfast if you want to stretch the meaning (a lot). But I think that’s the point of the day, not to stretch the meaning. Don’t consider a giant cup of coffee or a bagel you grab at Starbucks as a “hot breakfast.” Actually sit down at the kitchen table and have a real hot breakfast that involves more than one food group. As I see it, this month is as much about how you eat as what you eat.
So I’m going to start making real meals for breakfast again: omelets, hash browns, toast. Maybe I’ll go all out one morning and actually make Eggs Benedict. When I worked in restaurants it was one of my least favorite things to make (you have to be so careful with the eggs and you have to really stir the hollandaise so it doesn’t get all goopy), but in the comfort of my own kitchen it’s actually a really nice experience.
