91. I wouldn't touch the bacon anyway

Thu Jun 4, 2015, 04:15 PM

Jun 2015

And I drink tea at breakfast, not coffee. Sweetened with apricot marmalade, cinnamon and fresh orange juice instead of lemon, please.

Actually, I go nuts at the Japanese breakfast buffets they have in Hawaii, or the ones in the Andean countries, with all those great fruits. But it's hard to forget the Harraseeket Inn in Freeport, Maine for Sunday brunch. No Japanese stuff, but any breakfast buffet that has unlimited lobster is a place I want to go to after I'm dead and seeking eternity, if there is such a thing.
