Glenda, that green tea sounds worth trying. I am a tea person, but haven’t yet developed a taste for green tea. Is there some secret I should know?

Oatmeal pancakes…that sounds perfect.

Like Alison, because I’m not hungry in the morning, I don’t eat breakfast, & have lunch around 12N. However, when I was in Portland, OR for Celebrate Romance ’08, a group of us ate breakfast (somewhere around 10 AM) at Mother’s Bistro, & several, including me, had plate-sized oatmeal pancakes which were wonderful: hearty, flavorful & filling. Even a non-breakfast person like me was applauding these

Believe it or not, but having just finished my bowl of rolled oats (not as refined as oatmeal) porridge with sliced banana & topped with plain, unsweetened yoghurt, I am hungry again after reading your wonderful essay & readers’ comments!

I drink with it Chinese green tea (buy the leaves, not teabags & steep them in a proper teapot. You cannot compare the two. Leaves are a totally superior experience. Try it, readers. I dare you!)

Thinking of pancakes, lemon & sugar for an early lunch … Looking forward to the book, Barbara. It sounds terrific.

I love breakfast! Morning… night… it doesn’t matter when! The worst part is trying to decide: savory or sweet? I love it all!

Danielle, I have Southern connections, so I’m with you on those southern breakfasts. I love grits with butter, and especially love gravy with biscuits….gravy with hash browns….gravy with oranges…..

I worked for a while as a baker’s assistant, so I can relate to greeting the world before the sun did. I always felt the need to whisper and tiptoe around, even when I was the only one in the kitchen. It seems wrong somehow to be loud at that time of day. (Not an easy feat for a klutz like myself).

Southern girl that I am (born and raised in Myrtle Beach, SC) I have always loved grits and eggs with plenty of butter and a shot of hot sauce. We made a super tasty grits casserole at the bakery that I worked at that was full of all kinds of deliciousness. Very good with hot coffee and some fruit.

Anxiously awaiting my copy of your newest book! Thanks so much for sharing your stories with the world!
