For breakfast I've begun getting bagged of frozen biscuits and frozen sausage patties. I bake the biscuits in the air fryer 7 at a time, slice them, put them in a glass bowl with a lid. Every morning I pull out a frozen patty and a biscuit, and microwave for 1 minute. While the sausage is arguably "bad" for me, I'm pretty sure not having a slice of American cheese and a prefab egg on the sandwich has to end up being less calories and less cholesterol.

For some reason, they taste better this way than the premade ones with the same stuff.
 


My choice now after years of Total. $8 for two bags at Costco

Cereals,
Grew up on Lucky Charms and Trix, later in life Cinnamon Toast Crunch, now it's whole grain Cheerios.
(Never cared for Cork Flakes, Frosted Flakes or Capn' Crunch)
I guess I've matured? 🤔🙄

Sorry guys, but the ultimate breakfast food is BACON! Not some sugary cereal that gets soggy as you consume it.

Amen Willie! With some over easy chicken seeds and toast!

Which doesn't make sense why some stuff fulfilled by amazon can't be shipped to me and why other stuff fulfilled by amazon can. And this was to an FPO AP address, not my Japan address. So I quit prime.

The Japanese Prime is, in comparison, wicked cheap. Costs me a little over $4 a month right now I think. I have it so I can send stuff to my son as needed.

Stuff that can be sent USPS can be sent to an FPO or APO address. If it’s not sent by USPS it’s probably not sendable by FPO.

Kind of a far trek for the U.S. Amazon trucks.

Bacon about once a month, but 3 scrambled eggs and some high fiber (low sugar) cereal every morning.

I was a manufacturers rep for 2 pork processors during my career. One was a giant midwest based company and the other was a local custom processor. There is good bacon and there is salted pork belly product.
 


Well, finally finished my Soller tram. I don't remember when I started this, but it had to sit while I figured out how to strip the wires. Bought a tool from the jungle site and it finally came in. Doesn't work very well, but enough for me to burn the rest off with my soldering iron.

Yeah, not very accurate or detailed. I also put a Japanese model pantograph on it as the designer wanted the maker to use wires. This was easier since I had an extra one that I was using for my b-train shorty stuff.

One more tram!

Ugh. All was right in my world until about three hours ago. Then I discovered a very annoying problem, and on top of that, while I was working around it my internet connection went out. According to down detector, my provider is pretty much toast throughout Texas. Go figure.

Now I'm stuck on my cell phone, and while that works for wandering the forums, it does not help for my project. I can't connect that to my personal hotspot.

And the day was going so well, too...

End rant.

I've never seen that. They may be stupid and rush things, but they are honest with their customers. At least from my experience and I buy a lot from "the company store"

Probably a half assed effort on the shipper would be my guess.

I love bacon. but fried ham is even better!

The man who raised me made bacon and eggs for us for breakfast every day until his third heart attack took him to heaven. Many times, we had sausage too and occasionally fried ham, my favorite! I loved ham dinners, which meant fried ham for breakfast the next day. Even after he wasn't allowed to eat fried foods, he made bacon and eggs for me for breakfast. I can't imagine how he ate a hardboiled egg as I ate bacon and eggs. If that is not love, I don't know what is. His last words to his wife were "take care of Louis" and she didn't let him down.

I was almost nine years old before I regularly ate cereal. His wife loved me, but she wasn't much of a cook. I loved her all the same. I enjoyed eating cereal on a TV-tray in front of the TV with the cartoons on. On frigid days she would make oatmeal for me, which I love. TV dinners were fun too! And who can't boil hotdogs?

I used to pick up McDonalds sausage biscuits for my mom. Like you she would freeze them and reheat one every morning. I found a half dozen or so in her freezer after she passed away.
