Hahah!

Uni, just tell him that you were mistaken, you thought it was a home made loaf. You could always try to make Cyndi's Bread Supersized! There's also a nice GF loaf on the recipe community.

For breakie, I adore a good Eggs Florentine with Smoked Salmon on the side, but none of that bought Hollandaise! Love a good slice of sourdough or rye bread, but on the side, not all soggy with the eggs on top.

I refuse to drink instant coffee, I normally drink tea but allow myself one cup of percolated coffee per day. I have a little Breville percolator that's been going strong for about 10 years.

I agree, Amy, it's hard to find a good coffee in Albany. Dome is passable, but their breakfast is boring.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

So true! I have only been to Dome for breakfast twice, but I swear I am never going again. Its just not worth it :P I usually go to Dylan's for coffee, but they have a few different barristas and not all of them are good :(
One word of advice: never buy coffee from Solomon's. They only fill the cup halfway. Rip-offs!

Better bring your Breville with you MJ. I am bringing a plunger and coffee for my house just in case.

Can do. I use Yahava coffee, which is just lovely.

Thanks for the warning Amy! I usually go to Dylan's for breaky. They're so busy though!

The very worst coffee shop in Albany is that one in the Chester Pass Rd Shopping Centre. Their food is horrible.

Megajane,  I'm with you on the tea.  I'm addicted to the t2 teas, at the moment my favourites are the Artic Fire, Really Russian Caravan and the Chilli Kiss (really has chilli in it).  I also like some of their chai blends.  Breakfast for me yesterday was fresh ciabatta with capsicum chilli jam and an enormous cup of chilli kiss tea.  Perfect for a cold wet morning.

Yeah but it tastes sooooooo good.  I'm just having my first chilli kiss for the morning now :).  It's $13 a packet but I normally get 30 cups out of a packet and I would spend that much on a bottle of average wine....it's even cheaper per cup than the coffee pods for aldi (or about the same....it's too early for maths)

Yeah, they do get very busy don't they? It was packed on Saturday morning when my mum and I tried to get a coffee! We ended up getting take-aways but still had to wait nearly 20 minutes :-)) They do really good pancakes though. I would be tempted to say the best in Albany...
Do you know of any cafes down here that do porridge for breakfast? The only one I know of is Tonic, but I don't like their coffee :(

I have never been to that one MJ. And I'm definitely not going now! Thanks for the tip ;)

Sorry, no, don't know any that do porridge. Probably because it doesn't keep, really has to be made and eaten straight away. They should do Bircher Muesli, but none seem to be that adventurous!

Never mind, I'm sure no cafe could do better than TM porridge anyway! :-)) ;D
Yeah, Bircher Muesli would be good! Dome does normal muesli, but I had it once and it was pathetic. I had to go home and have some cereal afterwards because it just wasn't a satisfying or filling breakfast. I'm starting to get very bored with breakfast menus. There's always plenty of choice in the egg department, but I don't like eggs :(

Maybe I should open a breakfast cafe with my TM and serve all the good stuff, like porridge, pancakes, crepes, muesli, granola, yoghurt... I suppose eggs would have to be on the menu too...

Good idea Amy.
Pity we are at opposite ends of the world!
