The best breakfast for me is Ethiopian breakfast where you take chicken doro wat (an Ethiopian chicken stew) and poach two eggs in there and put cottage cheese on top of that. Maybe toast. And that breakfast — even if you have Italian red sauce left over — do your eggs in that sauce. That's the only time we truly eat breakfast. Otherwise it's whooosh, out the door. On a weekend I can make a nice avocado toast for my wife when she wants it and not just slap slap go. That slower breakfast is great because hey, we're going to hang out and it's not just that we're eating. We can read the paper or check out some blogs, whatever. It's a longer thing."
