My response to a question about breakfast in another forum:
Breakfast is the holiest of all meals, and Is Not To Be Skipped.

Weekdays, I have coffee and toast every day, and a scrambled egg if I can get away with it.

Weekends are Bob's Red Mill 6-grain mush, or steel-cut Irish oatmeal, or just plain rolled-oats oatmeal, in descending order of preference. Rolled oats are fast enough that they get airtime during the week as well. Sometimes I throw the previous night's rice into the mush for added texture.

Sausage here is pretty good, though I miss polska kielbasa. Ham is very good, but bacon is unimpressive. I recall finding some US brand bacon at Kyoto's Meiji-ya on San-jo, and happily paying triple the US price just for some really-actually-smoked bacon flavor, instead of this ham-flavored belly meat they pass off as bacon here.

Whenever I get back to the USA I make sure and hit a real breakfast food place; I miss greasy spoon restaurants, bottomless coffee, and not having to clean up my own egg-encrusted dishes.

Kyle MacLachlan as Superman
Lucy Lawless as Wonder Woman
David Borneaz as Green Lantern (Hal Jordan vers.)

Silver Age origins of the Justice League, told by people who love that era. I am moist with anticipation.
