Sunday TeaRoom 1/25/09 Sunday brunch?

[sheila77551]

I voted "other", cuz sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Today, I am going out with DH for my first meal of the day. So...I will call that, "brunch".
Normally, I am not a breakfast eater, but I am trying to do better so I can lose some weight. My bad habits (eating at night at the computer) are causing me to *blossom*. So, I am trying to eat properly, drink lots of water (TEA) and get some walking in too. It is some darn hard work too!!

When i'm at school i tend to sleep in on Sundays, if i don't go down to the dining courts for their spread, i'll stay in my room with some tea, a bagel and cream-cheese, yogurt, and maybe a hard boiled egg or two.

When i do manage to get myself to the dining courts i always have a ham and cheese omelet, grits with apple butter, grapefruit, and whatever else they have that day.

Sunday brunch is probably the best meal of the week! especially since i'm not rushed for time and can sit and enjoy eating it!

i started out this morning with some lady grey

My bad habits (eating at night at the computer) are causing me to *blossom*.

I gained 6 or 7 pounds doing exactly this! Drinking tea at night instead of eating helped me lose most of that weight. Playing around on wii fit helped too!

Sunday I usually have nothing to do so I try to make myself a substantial brunch. I never get to eat breakfast during the week.

Started TeaDay with Earl Grey Creme. I'm now on my first steep of Yutaka Midori <3.

My typical breakfast is as follows:
oats with some granola
nut butter of some kind
rice milk
gomasio (ground sesame seeds with salt)
steamed greens or seaweed
an egg and or fruit if I have it around

Yup. I LOVE breakfast

Sencha in my cup....

'Tis the 250th Anniversary of the beloved poet, Robert Burns.

Raise a wee dram, if ye wull, ta Scotland's finest!

In my glass: a splash of Laphroaig, a passable Islay malt.

Here's tae ye, Rabbie!


Later, we'll have a lovely cup of Dragonwell, a salute to Chinese lunar new year.

Fukamushi Supreme from O-Cha currently. Very nice, but all the talk about Yutaka Midori is making me want to break it out of the TeaFridge. I honestly have enough Japanese greens open, so I am trying to restrain myself.



It is shaping up to be a nice TeaDay, again.

In my cup this afternoon - wow -
From Jing Tea Shop Anxi Tasting Set:

1997 Long Juan Hong Xin TGY

Absolutely fabulous.

Hey Chip, did you guys miss us yesterday?
The largest TeaChat Group Meet to date!

SIX TeaChat members!

Myself, Vulture, wyardley, bearsbearsbears, andy825 & Ti, along with several friends!
We had a great time, you can read about it here:

http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?t= ... c&start=90

Plus there should be pictures coming soon!

I went slightly over my teaware budget, ha!

Currently I am enjoying my new Hwang [Yellow] Tea for Hankook Teas.
Very sweet and mellow.

.

I was watching for a report. Glad everyone had a great time. This would be hard to reproduce on the east coast, no Hankook, etc. Missed seeing the TeaChatters yesterday, but there is something to be said for IRL experience!

Now that you guys are back, be sure to check out the TC Gaiwan Contest by clicking here. I am sure someone got a gaiwan or two.

Are you telling what kind of hit your yearly(?) teaware budget took?

You will have some idea of the damage after I post to the Teaware forum later tonight!

Back when my husband was alive and our sons young and at home, I'd make a big brunch on Sundays, but not anymore. I cook special meals if I want at any time of the week.

Sipping Republic of Tea's ginger peach tea...a nice compliment to the homemade split pea and ham soup on a cold, damp evening.

Great photo, Salsero. I have dropped out of existence for a while and need to check the daily photos again.

My usual is the same every day. Fiber one or oatmeal and milk. The kids will have eggs or something on the weekend that is usually too complicated for our usual m-f rush. My 15 y.o. eats a big egg sandwhich and takes a mid-morning nap!

I'm afraid as a pretty lazy college student without much in the way of cooking skills, Sunday brunch doesn't exist for me. On the rare occasion, I'll make a nice meal, usually with my boyfriend. But that doesn't necessarily have to be on a Sunday.

I almost never eat breakfast.. which is very bad for me. Though I do drink tea in the mornings when I have class.

Keemun Rhap from Adagio in my cup tonight. I was inspired reading today how a number of you make a special effort to have something nutritious / delicious for breakfast on Sunday morning. I am inspired!

Occasionally I go to brunch on a day off (Friday or Saturday). But Sunday is breakfast as usual. This morning was a bit of crumbled sausage, mushrooms, spinach, cheese, scrambled with 2 eggs. After 3 decades of usually not eating breakfast, last January I starting eating breakfast every day. Breakfast has become a major component of my weight loss (82 pounds so far, by the way).

I'm coordinator for our church's Children's Sunday School (160 elementary kids) so I'm at church on Sundays 8-1. Since adding that position to my job a few months ago, having lunch with friends after church is pretty impossible (church gets out at hour before I leave). So today I had friends over for a big pot of chili and Lord of the Rings.

[daughteroftheKing]

Oops, forgot to mention today's teas:
1) Adagio TKY
2) Bigelow decaf Earl Grey on ice (one lunch guest doesn't do caffeing)
3) Teaposy "Let it Snow", a flowering Jasmine tea

Congrats on your continuing weight loss! It is very interesting that breakfast has contributed to your success.

Chile and Lord of the Rings, you forgot to invite me!!!

Finishing the TeaDay with a light cup of Adagio Premier. This sencha is well suited to this preparation. Adagio did a good job sourcing this one.
