Not as bad as you would think , around 250 baht for 500 gram.  I only eat 4-5 berries daily so you can keep it in the freezer for some time. 

 

Four to five?

Where have I heard that before?

Go for five, mate.

You'll be happier.

It's the MAGIC number.

That's really a small number of berries. 4 or 5. I don't think there is much nutrition in a berry portion that small.

Well for SMALL berries like blueberries anyway.

Anyway ...

I have to add I love boysenberries.  They are BIG and juicy! 

A hand full of blueberries if I'm out of boysenberries.

Boysenberries reminds me when I am on a Norwegian crewed vessel and they have their mid-morning waffles with boysenberry jam (among others) and brunost cheese. I get into that at least once a week.

That's more like it.

I never got that handful thing. The range in the portion in anyone's grasp of a hand is huge.

Sometimes I eat peanuts as a snack or in a snack.

I don't count peanuts and definitely eat more than five. 

But I just eat what seems about right. Not counting on my hand.

I go for the girlsenberries usually........but I'm sure boysenberries are acceptable if you are that way inclined. I remember a severe case of blueberries as a teenager at the drive in. Most unpleasant.

Ever tried putting/mixing your dry breakfast cereal in the yogurt? Quick meal....

A bit of an aside, some of my set breakfasts include avocado spread on bread, which I didn't mention, but it's actually of course TOAST.

 

It's so funny that "avocado toast" has become such a big thing in the U.S. in recent years. 

 

It's so easy. Toast the bread. Spread the cado. The only hard thing is having ripe ones around.

 

As apparently in Australia, I've been doing for decades. It's just wonderful tasty fat on toast, instead of BUTTER. But no Vegemite for me.

In this age of American division, few insults cut as much as the idea that your fortune may be hostage to the menu price of avocados.

And what about morning sex, dear fellows? Best for your daily health staminas.....the eggs and beer can wait a bit

[tutsiwarrior]

now in Hanoi and I got some avocados (28kdong/kilo at the supermarket, street sellers at 80k) and marched right down to the hotel brekkie buffet with a nice one...grabbed me a fresh baguette and slathered that mother...outta this world with fresh vietnamese coffee...ordered an omelette on the side...

 

olives, pork liver pate and more coffee and I'm together until lunchtime...

 

 

tutsi recaptures lost yoof at the Hanoi hotel brekkie buffet...

Obviously millennials didn't invent avocado toast.

But neither did Australia ...

 

Quote

 

San Franciscans have been making avocado toast for more than 130 years

...

Does this mean that Australia is not the inventor of the avocado toast, as Eater declared in 2016? Maybe — but only because Australia as a nation literally didn't even exist until 1901.

When I did eat breakfast, I'd get a "soft boiled" egg (kai luak) and those fried butterfly pastries (Pa Thong Ko) in the market.  In the winter time in Loei, I'd have to have them fill the glass with hot water twice to get an egg that wasn't completely raw.

Deviled kidneys and pork chops with a side of colchicine...

I stop at 7/11 on my way to work for some milk, 2 bananas, maybe some nuts, which I eat at my desk. If I got up earlier I could do better, but I'm not fussed. Lunchtime is where it's at.

A tip of the hat to all the oatmeal eaters out there.

 

I recently learned something new about the importance of fiber in the diet which I thought would be good to share.. Besides helping with bowel regularity, fiber in the diet binds with excess cholesterol in the intestines helping prevent it from being reabsorbed backinto the blood stream and clogging up your arteries. That's why it's considered to be a heart healthy food.

And because you eat it cold, with hardly any salt, before running almost naked over the moors in the winter at school.  Otherwise the cold showers would kill you; or the frostbite.

 

Back in the day I used to have 10 weetabix between paper rounds, but now a cup of coffee, a good belch, and a bit of recollection about the night before's drinking is enough to see me out the door on the way to work

scots folks say that oatmeal when directly applied to the affected areas is good fer acne...

I believe the traditional Scots have salt not sugar on porridge made with water.

milk of magnesia on porridge?...bit of an overkill as the porridge alone facilitates regular bowel movements...
