Also awake. Hey, did you guys know there are stars in the sky?
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I have had a small slice of homemade cow-free cake for breakfast, which was delicious. But I was watching a Scientific American Frontiers show yesterday, which covered dieting and nutrition, and it was suggested that having some protein with breakfast was a good idea. Unfortunately, all dairy is out for me, so no milk with cereal, et cetera. Aside from scrambling eggs or frying bacon, which would take too damn long on most weekday mornings, what are my options? I'm thinking of checking out some power bars....

One thing I've done is fry up a number of sausage patties, then put them in baggies. Some will go in the freezer for longer-term storage, and the rest in the fridge. That way, all I have to do is nuke them for about a minute.
Also the South Beach Diet cereal bars are very high in protein, but aren't as nasty as a Power Bar. They use soy crispies rather than cereal as their base, IIRC.
Signed, has serious protein cravings in the a.m.

Mmmm... sausage patties.
Also, I wouldn't have to worry about cleaning a frying pan every day. That sounds doable....
How do Odwalla bars score on the protein index?

Perzactly. You mess up the kitchen once, and then you have sausage patties for a week!
Dunno about Odwalla bars.

Hard-boil a bunch of eggs on, say, Sunday, and then they're ready to go throughout the week.
Also, you can make bacon in the microwave -- quick, easy, no messy pan, and YUM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Protein shakes! If you have a stick blender, some frozen fruit, some soy protein powder, you're good. It's quick and tasty.

Also, a tin of cashews or assorted nuts comes in handy when one needs a protein jumpstart. Not sure how you'd like them for breakfast though.
I had a habit for a while of making a breakfast spread of smoked salmon, triscuits, stinky cheese, avocados, olives, and sliced tomatoes. But I was never hungry for lunch after doing that, and weekend lunches are my chance to explore new restaurants (or revisit old favorites) without breaking the bank.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Where is everyone?
Reading your set-theory-hatin' link from yesterday, which is making me unspeakably angry. So it's ALL YOUR FAULT that I'm not a-nattering.
