WEBVTT - Try a picnic breakfast

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Good Morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Today's tip is to try a picnic breakfast. In my

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>part of the world, the weather is getting warmer and

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>the flowers are blooming. We are also, as I am

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>writing this, mostly staying around the house with schools and

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>non essential businesses closed due to coronavirus concerns. Life feels

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>better when we have adventures, but those are somewhat harder

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to pull off in the current situation. Harder but not impossible.

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>One little adventure I've been trying a picnic breakfast. Eating

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>outside is almost always exciting because it's different. But on

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>those rare occasions when this does happen, the meal in

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>question tends to be lunch or dinner. No one does

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>a picnic breakfast, and so that's a great reason to

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>try it. Put your coffee in a thermest sir insulated cup,

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>grab a blanket or towel, get cut up fruit or

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>bananas for easy portability. You could fry up some pancakes

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and keep them warm in a picnic basket, or just

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>go for something that doesn't require temperature logistics. Pastries work.

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Even toaster pastries could be fun to try, or pack.

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Some hard boiled eggs, teas, and a good loaf of

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>bread work. For any meal with coffee or with butter

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 1>and jam on the bread, it will feel like breakfast

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>in any case. The good news is that because a

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>picnic breakfast is so out of the ordinary, you don't

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>have to travel far to make the meal feel like

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>an adventure. If you've got a backyard, great, go there.

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>An apartment balcony could also work, or visit a nearby park.

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>The whole thing doesn't have to take long. My family

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>has plenty of time these days with no school or activities.

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>But the beauty of breakfast is that it's rarely too

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>long a meal. You can set a timer for fifteen minutes,

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>and if all you're eating is a hard boiled egg

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.519
<v Speaker 1>and a piece of fruit, you'll still feel like it's

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>been a leisurely experience. Then pack up and go back in.

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>At most, you need to start your day twenty or

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty minutes earlier, or start your usual activities twenty or

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty minutes later, and you will probably feel like you

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>have all the time in the world. So think about

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>your life this week, look at the weather forecast and

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>choose a nice day. See if there's a morning that

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 1>might work for a picnic breakfast. I guarantee the experience

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 1>will be memorable. In the meantime, this is Laura. Thanks
