Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner? An open book blog hop post

 

Welcome to Open Book Blog Hop. You can find us every Monday talking about the writing life. I hope you'll check out all the posts: you'll find the links at the bottom of this post.

Are you a breakfast, lunch, or dinner person? What does your ideal meal look like?

_________________

What can I say? I like to eat. I can be very happy with any of these meals. Or tea. Or a snack. Or one of those in-between meals like brunch or lupper. 

I do especially like to be taken out to breakfast because I struggle to make myself eat in the morning and really need to in order to keep my blood sugar on an even keel. Going out to breakfast feels like a treat, so it's not as hard to convince myself to do it. 

For all my meals, I'm looking for different things on different days. Sometimes, I want the homey comfort of something I've enjoyed again and again. Sometimes, I want novelty and am thrilled to try something I've never tried before. All meals are made better with good company and pleasant atmosphere, too. 

 I enjoy cooking, and one of the ways I stay interested in cooking is by making new things. Just this week for example, I tried out two new recipes. (and both were hits!) I also enjoy it when someone else takes on the labor and I get to just show up and eat.  

 The most important thing is that I eat on a regular schedule. You wouldn't like me when I'm hangry.

  1. Yes, I eat at regular times - three meals a day. I just eat plain food though and don't follow any recipes.

    1. I love trying new recipes. Otherwise, I lose interest in the whole thing.

  2. I love discovering local producers here in Devon. There's always something new to try.

  3. I like "lupper". I have never heard that one before, but I like it way more than "linner". I mean, there's got to be a better way of naming a meal between lunch and dinner, but I don't think anyone has hit it yet. Brunch works so well...

    1. I'm not sure where I picked it up, but I like it, too. But I agree, it's not nearly as elegant as brunch. Then again, neither is the meal, usually.

  4. I don't like to cook. I like to eat, but not to cook.

    1. I didn't start cooking until I was in my 30s, but I really took to it.
