What's for breakfast? New Jersey's own.

[3Hotdogs]

Mostly N.J., anyway.

Fried Taylor Ham loaf. This is a New Jersey thing, King's had mini loafs. It seem you need a U.S.D.A. special license to ship meat products across state lines. Transplanted Jersians ask visitors to bring packages of this stuff when they come to visit. Coolers of the stuff also go home after visits.

Blueberries from my yard. Eggs from my daughter's chickens.

Slow cooked grits from Carolina Plantation, mixed with ghost BB! sauce from Minute Man Bbq in Basking Ridge N.J.

Coffee, I roasted the beans. 50/50 of Kona and Jamaica Blue Mountain. Add Fennel pollen and cinnamon.

Needless to say, I don't eat lunch on Sundays.

1. Oooh koooonnnaaa

I love Kona coffee but it's so expensive,it's just a treat like once a year I get a bag.

But I envy your coffee
today and the blueberries and freshly laid eggs.

2. Never heard of it; thought you were talking about tomatoes!

My daughter + grands are in NJ, and used to have family-grown tomatoes. Blueberries too.

3. Tomatos.... got them in my yard, too. And then there's the new neighbors.

They are Pakistani immigrants. Every square inch of soil is planted with a crop. One is a plant with large, dark red leaves. They gave me some, with instructions to fry in oil with onions or peppers. I have no idea what it is but it is delish. He gave me seeds and permission to pick more.

We gave him eggs and blueberries.

4. Nice. My Pakistani friend's brother grows and sells stuff 'over there;'

have seen pics of fields with large green leaves; I think the family used to grow onions.

5. Our diets would be far less interesting

without immigrants. Food is one of the best things about diversity.
