"I’m a night owl."

Me too, but I love breakfast, mostly because when I was working, I worked the 3-11 p.m. shift. When I got home, I couldn't go right to bed, but sat up, catching up with the news, and TV shows, and I always read before I turn out the light at night. I never ate breakfast then, nor drank coffee at home. I'd pick up a sandwich or a salad on the way into work, and eat that when I could while working. It wasn't until I retired that I started having breakfasts and coffee every day.

I retired 21 years ago, and kept the same night schedule. I don't go to bed until 4 or 5 a.m., so when I get up around 11 a.m. or noon, I'm ready for breakfast. I don't make this every day, but I'll have two slices of thick bacon, one egg, one or two sausages, homemade hash browns and a slice of toasted Italian bread. If I have a big breakfast like that, then I have something light in the evening. No lunch ever. If I have a bagel for breakfast or a buttermilk biscuit, I'll have a slightly bigger supper.

My husband turns off the TV at 2 AM, which is when I like to go to sleep. I wake up to use the bathroom around 7 AM, but I try to go back to sleep til about 10 AM, then I read my Bible and the news in bed til 11 or noon. Sometimes, then, I eat breakfast foods like bacon, toast, and an egg, but I can skip the egg without remorse. If I never had to eat another egg, it probably wouldn’t bother me. If I do eat an egg, I prefer brown eggs; I don’t care what the government says, they taste better. I could live on sweets. My diet’s awful.
