Boxing Day breakfast (of champions (of leftovers)).

Alt

Four Yorkshire puddings on a side plate, each with one or two chipolata sausages sticking out, smothered in gravy, alongside a small quantity of sage & onion stuffing.

Unusually, we had no guests this Christmas Day. This meant that my usual level of overcatering went even further than normal.

A side effect of this is that a certain little doggo was delighted and surprised by her Boxing Day breakfast of roast goose!

A champagne-coloured French Bulldog kicks her lips excitedly alongside a bowl full of chunks of roast meat.

Maybe I'm just hungry, but this morning's breakfast bagel with brie looks especially scrumptious, right?

On a floral plate atop a wooden surface z an open sesame bagel contains an Escherian 'endless staircase' of sliced brie.

Breakfast today will make use of leftovers to produce a bean chilli pizza. This'll work, right?

Alt

Pizza built with bean chilli and mixed grated cheese, ready to go into an oven.

Update: yeah. This works.😋

Alt

Finished pizza, looking delicious.

I have A Plan for today. Step #2 involves a deep-dive into Algolia search indexing, ranking, and priority, to understand how one might optimise for a diverse and complex dataset.

So obviously step #1 involves a big ol' coffee and a sugary breakfast. Here we go...

A wooden kitchen surface containing a red mug full of freshly-brewed coffee alongside a plate painted with fruits on which sits a heart-shaped doughnut, topped with chocolate and decorated with an iced motif of a sunflower. Beneath the plate, out-of-focus, are the pages of a news periodical.

The fifth day of Christmas, and perhaps my last opportunity of the season to justify having trifle... for breakfast.

Dan, standing on a kitchen, holds a large bowl partially filled with trifle.

For some reason, the breakfast chef assumed that when I asked for two eggs benedict that I might want them on two separate plates. As if I WEREN'T totally planning to scoff them both myself! 😂

Two portions of eggs benedict, in front of a window showing a 25th-storey view of Barcelona.

This morning's actual breakfast order from the 7-year-old: "A sesame seed bagel with honey, unless there aren't any sesame seed bagels, in which case a plain bagel with honey on one half and jam on the other half, unless there aren't any plain bagels, in which case a cinnamon and raisin bagel with JimJams on one half and Biscoff on the other half."

Dan, looking confused, next to a cinnamon and raisin bagel with JimJams on one half and Biscoff on the other half (and their respective jars).

Some day, this boy will make a great LISP programmer. 😂
