Greetings from Walmer seafront where my breakfast will arrive shortly.

Eggs and beans to close for comfort.

The day is full of joy's. I've got to have a tooth filling soon ,I'm feeling groggy and my arms ache.

Oh! And the cat's have gone mad and running around like mad things.

Oh, hope the rest of the day goes better!

I'm going riding in a bit and am ridiculously nervous
Not been on a horse in a long time but after a discussion with our local cowboy friend about western saddles a couple of weeks back, he offered me a ride to see if my back would cope better. Archie, his horse, is a darling so I'm hoping he'll be kind to me today

 

[Salty seadog]

Close? They are touching. There is even a bean perched on the egg.
That aside, looks good.

Indeed. Worst of all the yolks were not runny and couldn't have been further from the bacon if they were on the next table.

It was however very good. Fab sausage and bacon and good bubble'n squeak.

I like toasted sarnies. My toasted sarnie maker was given to me yonks ago, and is difficult to clean. So I have been experimenting with toasted sandwiches "fried" in a frying pan. I follow the same process by spreading the spreadable butter on the outside of the bread, adding a small knob of butter to the pan. They are much betterer than ones done in the machine. I found the trick to squishing them, is to wait until the first side is nicely brown, and squish them once they are turned the first time. The real bonus is that they take less time this way than in the machine.

Fried this way, there are IMO much better, and you can keep the crusts on. The bread goes crispy, and is not soggified. So far I have just used cheese, but what other things do peeps put in their toasted sarnies?

Kebabs.

Kebabs.

There's a surprise, I thought you would suggest chips. Please ask @Reynard how many stones of tatoes she has so that she could make you a portion of chips.

All sounds a bit 'Elvis' to me and that didn't end well.

I'm not sure what you mean. Elvis consumed rather more than toasted cheese sandwiches.

It is not something I eat everyday, and the butter is spread very thinly.

I no longer eat chips

I do however still eat the occasional potato(e).

But would rather have a nice salad these days.

I think he's taken over from Judith Chalmers.

I was trying to work a more Alan Wicker angle...

LOL... About two stones of Maris Pipers, that's somewhere in the region of 15 kg - plenty of chips, plus I do mine in beef dripping when I do make them...

Just as well I picked em up on saturday night, the rest (that were too damaged to take) were brown goo all over the road when I went out this morning.

Most of these alongside cheese, some also on their own or combinations thereof: BBQ sauce, onions, hot dogs, ham, bacon, roast pork, roast beef, pastrami, sausages, chilli con carne, pepperoni...

 

[petek]

Ham, cheese, thinly sliced tomato and a splash or Worcestershire Sauce goes into my toasties.

 

[Reynard]

I put worcestershire sauce on my cheese on toast.
