Brekkers

Bored with Rice Krispies? Fed up with toast? Well, head on over to Mr Breakfast, and he'll sort you out with some marvellous ideas for what to have first thing in the morning. He's a little heavy on the egg and waffle recipes, but his guide to breakfast in bed makes great reading (Rob, if you're watching, please take note!).

Mind, I have to say that wonderful though the institution of breakfast is, it's one that I have less and less time for. I'd love to boil an egg and sit there with my marmite soldiers of a morning, but more often than not it's a four-minute bowl of cereal, before legging it to work. It's that age-old dilemma - more time in bed asleep, or more time eating? I think the sleep wins.
