Every morning I savor a different
breakfast. I have a healthy stomach, so I can eat whatever I want to. For
example, scrambled eggs, pancakes, fruit salad, a steak sandwich, or even a
hamburger are good options for me.
Among these breakfasts, my first
choice is fruit salad. I dice at least three seasonal colorful fruits. My
favorites are bananas, papayas, mangoes, pineapples, strawberries, and kiwis.
Then, I cover the diced fruits with plain yogurt, Philadelphia cream cheese, or ricotta
cheese. Finally, I add a handful of nuts and small cubes of cheddar cheese.
Delicious!
Many people dislike having
breakfast. A cup of coffee, a doughnut, or a “fritura”* is enough for them. But
for me, a nutritious breakfast is not negotiable to kick start my day. If I
don’t eat a succulent breakfast by 9:00 a.m., I run out of energy, and my
cravings distort my mood.
* “Frituras” are fried foods, part
of our traditional cuisine. Tasteful but greasy. Once in a while is ok. Some
day I will write something about our “frituras.”
Once again you have made it really difficult to offer suggestions... There are no mistakes and nothing that even sounds especially strange. Here is all I can offer:
ReplyDeleteI would have said "strong stomach" instead of "healthy".
Don't eat hamburgers for breakfast. :-)
To me, not all of your breakfast options are "succulent", which I think of as "juicy".
I'm ready to hire you as my breakfast chef.
- I thought that "strong stomach" is an ironic idiom used in other contexts.
ReplyDelete- You wrote "To me, not all breakfast..."; I wrote "But for me, a nutritious breakfast..." It's very difficult for me to distinguish between "to" and "for" in that context.
Yes, "strong stomach" can be used more figuratively, but it can also indicate that someone can tolerate a lot of spicy or heavy food, including hamburgers at breakfast.
DeleteIf there is any difference between "to" and "for" in that context, it is very subtle.
