Good [early] morning!!!
I made myself some coffee for my commute to warm me up and hopefully tide me over 2 hours until we have oatmeal in bowls to eat.
Mmmmm Peppermint Creme + Pumpkin Spice!!
Nice and frothy! Help me identify that shape!?
I also packed a banana just in case hunger overcomes me
See y’all ’round 3PM!
Jayce says
I am up extra early and off to work with you today, should be an interesting one! No way could I wait 2 hours from now to eat… good luck! 🙂
Naomi (onefitfoodie) says
im up bright (or not so bright) and early with you for wokr at 5am!! have a great day Kath!! the shape in your coffee looks like a volcanic rock 🙂
Mandy @ University Cooking says
I’m up early to head to the gym with my housemates.I don’t normally eat this early in the morning, so I’ll eat when i get back.
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I’m loving the early morning posts Kath! I get up around 445 to workout.
Sharon @ What Is Sharon Doing Now?! says
Good Morning.
Super impressed that you can squeeze in a blog before you leave the house. I’ll be running out the door in a few minutes.
The only shape I can see is a rock….which I thought was too unoriginal, but I see Naomi agrees.
Vicky says
After reading your blog.. and then falling in love with oatmeal myself. I bought a slow cooker and have been making steel cut oats the night before and enjoying them perfectly cooked in the morning. Do you have any slow cooker recipes?
Kath says
I don’t have any slow cooker recipes because they are more annoying to clean than a pot. But there are plenty on the internet!
beth grossman says
Africa!
Stephanie says
I work nights and I love your early posts! It’s like an extra boost for the drive home. 🙂 The shape reminds me of a fresh bunch of broccoli or cauliflower.
Kimberly says
I like your early morning postings. I’m just getting home from work. I’m pretty sure that the first coffee shape is a hedgehog.
Kristen says
The shape I see is a comet flying through space! Aka, a rock. 🙂

Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Have a great day!!!
Katharine says
I love your early morning posts! Gives me something to read while I drink my coffee 🙂
And like the other commenters above, all I see is a rock 🙁 Maybe when my brain wakes up in a couple of hours it will be more creative.

Susan says
It also reminds me of a strawberry.
I just bought frozen blueberries the other day and they make such an awesome dessert! I never thought of eating them that way before (I’ve only ever used them in smoothies), and it’s perfect for me as I try to get healthy/ lose weight in the new year! Thanks for such a great idea!

Paige(Running Around Normal) says
A rock? Not so creative, I know, but it was the first thing that came to me!
I tried your method of warming the creamer first, and it worked somewhat, but I still don’t have the technique down!
megan says
definitely an amoeba 🙂
i always make a big cup of tea in the morning to tide me over until I eat breakfast at work.
have a good day! 🙂
Danielle (Coffee Run) says
I’d say it looks like a rock in your coffee? But that’s totally boring…
Have a great day!

Angela (The Lady Loves to Eat) says
Have a good day Kath! I would not be able to wait two hours for breakfast!
Foy Update - Cook. Garden. Write. Repeat. says
I’m confused. I thought aperitif was a pre dinner drink, usually involving alcohol. Or is that just my interpretation of it. I don’t speak Italian, just Spanish and Latin, so I often think I can do Italian. Wait I know! google translator.
“Apertif – An alcoholic drink taken as an appetizer before a meal.”
Okay so now I feel like the grammer police.
Kath says
Yes, I know, that’s why it’s funny that it’s coffee before breakfast.
Rachel says
Hope you’ve had a good day 😀
Kristacular says
The first shape is an old man with a pointy nose!
Marlie says
I see a guitar pick.
Liz says
I think it looks like a strawberry. Thanks for your blog Kath, I only discovered it recently and am addicted. Also now the hubby and kids are only eating “Whole Foods”!!!
