The Doolin Pier Breakfast Bar

Love the cute cat. My kitten is chewing the backs of my hands as I type.

Auditor, I don't know how to embed a video the way the one above is shown. I would like to get the live ocean scene up properly. Would you advise?

That has to be the cutest cat video in the world. I don't really know what you mean cactus? Your own video is it? If that's what you mean then I'd have to test it first but at a guess I'd say you can't upload your own video here. You could open an account on youtube - maybe a machinenation one - and upload your videos there and then link to that. Others could use it too...

I assume you know how to embed a youtube video - simply copy the embed code next to the video and paste it into your post. Try playing around with the last button to the right when in Post Reply or Edit mode - the one with the two capital As - the mode where you can see the code is actually better - I think the other mode is buggy.

It's a damp and drizzly morning here - which is nice for a change. I'm going to sit out on the step, wrapped up in my woolly poncho thing for morning pages and a breakfast of homemade granola, strawberries and yoghurt. I'll be wearing my nephew's Bart Simpson slippers to keep my toesies warm.

La vita est bella...

Hope you all have a lovely Friday.

"Tá ocras orm anois.......ar fheiceáíl na leathbhó dom"

Thats how I would have put it.

I hope thats fíor-im on your brown bread. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Kerrygold full of fat salt cholesterol ... mmm

Morning Audi and SeathrúnCeitinn - is the surf up?

hey where did you go ? look at the lovely breakfast I threw together

I'll have that one Auditor, if you don't mind. Just the thing to settle the stomach after a night out.

One of these will do me fine!

Having glazed eyes is bad for making breakfast (and it was because of over-sleeping as well... the worst kind.. because you can't get any sympathy then...) I made some toast and scrambled egg.... it was awash in a sea of egg sweat though after i threw it on the plate, i don't know what happened... i had to separate my toast and proceed cautiously through the egg. ghoul of cooker, not compensating for my clear lack of ability to cook even the most basic of meals without hassle...

I knew a man once who could burn a boiled egg.

I know a woman who can too.

I call her mammy.

what do you now, ye dirty lashers,
but fumble in the greasy grill
and add the sausage to the rashers
and egg to sizzling egg...

A nice big breakfast for ye, as ye have a leisurely long weekend over there.

And some reading ... it's too early in the morning for me to understand the maths, but apparently Microsoft have proved the "Six Degrees of Separation" theory ... it's actually closer to Seven Degrees but not bad for a theory.

Mmm thanks Atticus, that'll keep us going all day.

There's no point in pretending it isn't the weather for porridge.

Some B and Bs serve it with cream, which is delicious. Sometimes I throw in a handful of muesli into the pot.


Any good porridge tips?

Yes. I used Flahavan's progress oatlets - not the Porsche of oatlets but there you go. I measure the right amount of milk and oats and microwave it for 2 minutes I think - I have yet to find out this year. That way you have no pot to wash.

Have some fruit ready - apples mostly and mix them into the cooked porridge with some maple syrup of the most expensive kind.

Mmmm. That's all.

Scattering some chopped almonds and drizzling some runny honey on top is nice too.

I'll have this...



with this...



and these...



with this...



Yum!

You can't bate cream and pank aches and maple syrup. Scrumdiddlyumptious.

With some freshly brewed coffee

I entirely agree. It is an expression of ambrosia.

Now, yeh impudent young whelp, we'll have none of that dreck round here!

Hmm, somehow that just doesn't fill the gap. I think I shall have these with my delicious maple syrup...



Hooray for gluttony!

It is difficult to describe the scent of the fresh baguette with fresh salted butter, and fresh coffee in a large bowl, and the decadent pleasure of sacrificing them all by dipping the baguette in the coffee.

Any surf up today ?
