Breakfast: Yogurt, ja?

They say that you can't study on an empty stomach. Therefore I invented my own yogurt "recipe" (not really much of a recipe, but who ever said I'm not allowed to show off a little). In the order you make it:

  1. Woolworths Greek yogurt
  2. Thick cream
  3. Honey
  4. Finely chopped Peacan nuts

First take a bowl (the one you want to eat from, naturally) and throw as much yogurt as you like into that. Note that I'm not affiliated with Woolworths but they do (usually) have good quality food so obviously it's not too bad. Why I like their Greek yogurt in particular is that it's delicious and very very thick (as in not thin, don't worry you won't get stupid from eating this). It feels almost like eating cheesecake.

Thick cream to compliment the thick yogurt is the natural choice. Mix the two thoroughly or leave the cream drifting on top.

Honey - yes tasted nicer and is much healthier than syrup. Just make sure you buy South African honey (organic and high quality), not that Chinese shit full of poison. I would buy electronics from there any day but not food. I think they need to ban Chinese food imports actually, until that country starts to shape up their health policies.

Peacan nuts - yeah chop these finely in a blender (if you like) and these will make it really nice. Throw it on top. Don't spoil the smoothness of the yogurt by mixing. Throw the honey on the yogurt first, don't throw the honey on top of the Peacan nuts because it won't stick properly and become a mess. Let the honey stick on top of the yogurt and then let the nuts stick on top of the honey and yogurt mess.

This is much nicer to me than mixing it as it keeps tasting different all the time. Some bits have more honey, cream, etc than others.

Ok, my limited views on making a nice breakfast or brunch... Even though you might take brunch at 16:00 in the afternoon because you only woke up at around lunchtime because you hacked until dawn yet again and the whole family is angry at you for being a weirdo geek. (Obviously, I have been there...)

Good choice :-) I've been having something similar for breakfast for the last little while, although I leave out the cream (I find the Greek style yoghurt thick and fatty enough!) and prefer almond flakes to pecans.

I am a real sucker for cream, but you're right, it's double-cream as is!

Almond... that's pretty good as well, I like!
