This is what I had for dinner (plus another piece of toast and jam). It looks like breakfast, but it's not.
A peach and low-fat vanilla yogurt, some amazing rye-sunflower-honey bread, and bluedberry jam. When I was growing up, we'd occasionally have 'breakfast for dinner' nights, with pancakes, eggs, hashbrowns, etc. Even more than dessert, breakfast is my favourite meal (partly because it's acceptable to have chocolate cake for breakfast -- right?). You've got traditional fry-ups: beans, fried eggs, chips, yum. Big American breakfasts: French toast, pancakes, hashbrowns, double yum.
Every night I explain to Rob, with great enthusiasm, how delicious my Special K (with fresh blueberries) will taste in the morning. He's worried that now that I watch what I eat, I think about food the entire time. I've always thought about food all the time! Now I just eat less of it.
One of -- wait, who's that?
Hello, little staring bird with ridiculously giant eyes. How can I help you? Erm, I'll just be over. . . here. . .
The swallows were swarming around this evening, landing on the window sills (and eating spiders, I hope) before taking off for more swooping and wheeling. They were all lined up by the kitchen window, and the one above was the only one to notice me lifting the blinds for a photo.
Simple pleasures: Cutting a ripe peach with a sharp knife. Standing on the balcony while swallows dart around, narrowly missing you.
THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS!
Nothing starts a day better than chocolate cake. Nothing.

Breakfast is the best meal, and the only time when I have a real appetite.
Except from chocolate cake, breakfast in Swedish is the best one. Fil (or at least yogurt) with muesli, knäckebröd/crispbread (or a nice home baked one) with cheese or ham, or maybe even porridge in the winter. Yum, it makes me long for tomorrow morning...
Breakfast for dinner sounds like a good idea to me :)

It's Audrey Hepbird! Sorry, I watched "Breakfast At Tiffany's" this weekend.
