Breakfast. : )) I really enjoyed the picture of your breakfast. I love, love, love seeing what other people around the world eat for specific meals. In California, USA, our breakfast potatoes are usually shredded or cubed. And I've never had a slice of cheese with my breakfast toast (though I would love it), nor ever in my life have I been served a tomato on my breakfast plate. Love it! Also looks like something other than ketchup on the potatoes. Here it's ketchup or salsa all the way. Thanks for sharing.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538884619777387595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059484920052354114.post-36335389508640131552012-04-19T18:12:23.111+02:002012-04-19T18:12:23.111+02:00Ag hoe lekkerrrrr!!**Ag hoe lekkerrrrr!!**Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759909333981353291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059484920052354114.post-64610025386146110752012-04-18T21:28:39.057+02:002012-04-18T21:28:39.057+02:00Sounds like you made the right decision!
