Meal #40: Breakfast

We got to go to Jaimie’s Italian again! This time at London Gatwick, where Robbie works. We got to the airport extra early so we would have plenty of time to enjoy breakfast Jaimie-style before flying to France. I had fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee with Eggs Benedict. It was really tasty! The eggs were sooo good. The yolks were orange- a sign if a healthy chicken. The hollandaise was smooth and slightly sour from fresh lemon juice. Perfect. Adam had coffee, steak and eggs. The steak was charred perfectly medium-rare. His eggs were bright orange and cooked over easy- a bit crisp on the edges and oozy in the middle. Just right for dipping toast. Love you Jaimie!

Meal #35: Breakfast

After our first carb-loaded day in the hostel, we figured we should buy some cheese and fruit to supplement our “free” breakfast. Breakfast today was nutritionally sound. We shared our healthy habits with people from Japan, England and California- glad we bought too much cheese:)

Meal #32: Breakfast

No more fairy tale castles for me. We’re staying in a mixed dorm at a hostel in London. It’s actually very clean and nice, but privacy and nutritious food are hard to come by. Despite some of the downfalls of hostels, we’re clean, well rested, and happy to be in England! Today they offered cereal, toast, and croissants for breakfast. No fruit. No protein. Couldn’t they at least give us a cube of cheese? An apple? Nope. We know now to pick up some fruit to accompany our “continental”.

Meal #27: Breakfast

Another amazing meal at the castle! They use only locally sourced ingredients and wow are they tasty. I had a huge breakfast of Irish bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, potato bread, soda bread, and white porridge with local heather-honey, heavy cream, and Bushmills whiskey!!! Why haven’t I ever had boozy oatmeal?!? It is sooo good! We also loved the black pudding. I’m still not exactly sure what it is- a strange blend of bread and sausage…? The bacon tasted more like a pork chop than American bacon- delish! Finally, I must tell you about the apple juice- it was so amazing. Adam drank five glasses!!! It tasted similar to my grandma’s fresh homemade apple sauce. Pure apple. So sweet and natural. Unbelievable.
