Thanks for hosting, Suncoast Guy! Nice job on the questions, too!
Today's Question:
Usually, what time do you eat...
Breakfast? Weekdays, around 6:30. Saturdays and Sundays, somewhat later than that. Lunch? Weekdays, whenever I get a moment to run to the fridge in the breakroom and pull out the bowl of leftovers to warm up, which can be anywhere from about noon to 4:00 pm, depending on how busy the day is. On weekends, I usually don't eat lunch. Dinner? On weekdays, I generally eat supper 30 to 45 minutes after getting home from work, which can be anywhere from 6:30 to 9:30 depending on how busy I am. On weekends, it's usually around 7 or so.
Bonus Question:
The next time I go out to eat atDaisy CafeI think I might just ordertheir unbelievably delicious fried egg sandwich. Daisy's egg sandwich is made with grilled rosemary bread (made on the premises), a schmear of cream cheese, a few slivers of red onion, a couple of strips of crisp bacon, a pair of perfectly over-easy eggs and a sprinkle of cilantro. That is unquestionably my favorite dish that they serve.
