I usually fry pizza left overs in a pan with butter. Gives it a nice crisp bottom and the taste is amazing!

Can you post a photo of the sugary thing?
I alternate between not having anything until lunch and grabbing snacks like a yogurt and a croissant on work days.
At the weekend I have eggs. Either poached or kind of scrambled in the microwave.

Ah i made some 'research' ( took me 10 seconds ) and found this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curd_snack . It's sort of that . But they do not differentiate them much from ones which are made entirely from sugar and are basically little cakes and these which are made from Curd and are way tastier.

I wonder how similar ( or different ) they are. I've eaten some from 'middle country' and they are bit different from ours ,thou still very tasty.

They sell KÄrums ones here too, but they're a bit different as well :P
Sadly I didn't think about trying them when I visited Lithuania last time, maybe next time ^^
they mainly sell chocolate glazing ones, haven't even heard of kiwi ones D:

Expected life span went up with use of preservatives, there has to be a correllation :D

I'm so hungry... I should eat breakfast every day :/ I'm in hurry always in the morning, so i can't eat :( My first eat of the day is lunch.
Comment has been collapsed.
If I have to get up in the morning and go somewhere normal non-sugary cereal. I dont understand people who put sugar in their cereal.
Otherwise usually nothing and just skip to lunch.

I used to eat oat flakes or other grain flakes with that tasteless yoghurt + water when I was exercising every morning and had time to care about myself. Now I'm trying to finish my master thesis every day so it's usually just coffee and a cigarette. I hope I'm not dead before defending that thesis and going back to the healthy routine :D

I used to add "mamos uogienÄ" when I couldn't stand it anymore :D

Ahaha 'mamos uogiene' made me actually laugh. I remember we had lots of that stuff as well,noone was actually eating it , it just occupied space in fridge :D

Yeah well black-currant "mamos uogienÄ" still occupies a whole section in my fridge, I'll probably make a shitload of pies to get rid of it :D

What's that? I can't find it on any English websites and I am shamefully ignorant of many foreign languages, particularly those that use the Cyrillic alphabet. I'm guessing that the fruit is stewed down into a jam or something?
Your first comment made me sad. I'd like to advise you to try to maintain some balance in your life, but it would be a bit hypocritical of me because I also let my needs suffer when there is work to be done.
I haven't solved the breakfast riddle. I often have cereal and fruit but wish I could come up with an alternative to cereal. Sometimes I buy natural muesli with dried fruit in it and cook it like porridge. I occasionally have bread (no toaster and the grill element in my oven needs replacement, so no toast for now) and when I do, I always like to have equal amounts with Vegemite and with honey. To the non-Australians out there that have tried Vegemite and don't like it - you used too much - it's a light glazing that you need - don't pretend it's Nutella.
There are two constants in my breakfast: good quality coffee with steamed milk (I have a grinder and an espresso machine), and a "pill salad" of prescription medication. I have to eat something because otherwise my medication plays havoc with my gut, but I am still looking for something I like. I don't mind the Italian-style breakfast of a sweet pastry and coffee, but there is nowhere to buy decent pastry goods where I live, certainly not within my budget, and I very rarely bake sweets myself. If there is good fruit in season at a reasonable price, I might have a fruit salad with Greek yoghurt, but the grocery stores are usually as bad as the bakeries in my area.

Weirdly enough I'm one of those who like tons of Vegemite on their bread. It's even worse with Marmite or Cenovis, I could spread half the pot on the bread if I didn't stop myself.
Sadly all of my friends hate the stuff (except for one girl with some British ancestry, who goes for the light spread thing) and love Nutella and its variants, which I absolutely despise :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, that is a bit strange - it's far too intense for me to be able to do that.
I also don't like Nutella. I like the idea that spawned its creation: post WW2 cocoa shortage in Italy leading to a search for a hazelnut-based chocolate substitute. However, in practice, I find it far too sugary, although I have only tried the formula manufactured in Australia, which I expect to be different to the original Italian product.

"Mamos uogienÄ" is an any berry jam (uogienÄ) made by mom (mamos). I said it in Lithuanian because it has that special feeling for everyone living here because moms give it to students in universities, and they take it to dorms and occupy all fridges with it. But no one just throws it away because it's made by mom. And it's always there if you don't have money to have anything sweet for yourself or just need to sweeten that greek yoghurt.
I understand that Lithuanian is hard to translate, it's the oldest Indo-European language (sorry just felt like bragging about it) spoken by only ~3 million of us, living here in Lithuania or somewhere else.
Thanks for your concern, I am already planning a healthy lifestyle after I am done with university, right now I just can't put myself to it because I am too tired to think about food or anything (working 9 to 6 and writing that thesis every weekend in library).
I also envy you that good quality coffee. Damn I gotta get that grinder. :)

Thanks for the explanation! :-D I can understand the Lithuanian name having some emotional significance.
I can also relate to the experience of having nothing else left to eat. I get homemade fig jam (and eggs if I am lucky, wine or grappa if very lucky) from a friend to get me through the difficulties of unemployment in an expensive part of the world. It doesn't last me very long, though. The reason I cover my alternate pieces of toast/bread with jam/honey and Vegemite is because the Vegemite is savoury and helps balance the sweetness. I have also eaten jam on cheese (something with a bit of bite, like Parmigiano Reggiano), usually at night and even straight from the jar with a spoon when times are really tough. Do they always tell you, "Don't forget to bring me back the jars when you finish?", even though they've already told you every previous time and you always bring them back? ;-)
You don't need to apologise for bragging about your historic language - say it with pride! (I know you do, anyway) :-D
The grinder was a great investment - if you can get fresh beans (the stuff in our local supermarkets is always months old). Fortunately, there is an excellent local roaster that sources a range of coffee from all over the world and they do cheap delivery the day after it's roasted. The icing on the cake is that they set up really admirable alliances with their suppliers, training them, supplying equipment and infrastructure, and paying a premium price directly to the growers and producers for a premium product. I bought my grinder second hand from a business that took over an Italian restaurant that closed down (a cake maker that also does cooking classes and needed a bigger kitchen - I did some IT work for them when they moved). It is a commercial type grinder that weighs 16 kg! I still have my domestic grinder, which is good for most domestic-type espresso machines but not quite fine enough for commercial machines, but I don't think it would work on your local power supply, so there wouldn't be much point offering it to you, I'm afraid.

I can relate to eating "straight from the jar with a spoon when times are really tough" pretty well :D And yes, mom always tells to bring back the jars, thank goodness my sister has a car so I don't need to carry them all to bus station :D
Yeah I try to inform every other person about it since lots of people think our language is Slavic or that we're somehow related to Russians, which is not true and hurts us a lot (nobody cares though). :/
My parents have that simple grinder - actually two - one powered by electricity and one "old-school", where you grind manually. I also have a friend who could constantly get me fresh coffee beans from his uncle's restaurant (he offered that a lot) so I guess it's just my laziness and lack of initiative that keep me from drinking better coffee every morning :/

It's not true that nobody cares, but it is true that many people in my part of the world (and probably others) think that USSR = Russia, so all former Soviet Bloc countries must be offshoots or allies of Russia (assuming that all of the Union was an alliance, not a military occupation). Basically, it was in USA's interest for us to know as little about USSR during the cold war because people are always more afraid of things they don't know anything about. Having never met a Lithuanian in person, there hasn't been the same opportunity to learn about your country as some of the other far off lands whose migrants and tourists can tell their story first hand. However, your case for better understanding is not lost. However, I have actually been learning a bit about Lithuania in the last couple of months, and it is thanks to Steamgifts! A Lithuanian guy had mentioned a local saying that loosely translated to the equivalent of the English "Every cloud has a silver lining". This in itself was interesting to me because, as you mentioned, ignorant westerners (as I was) assume that Lithuania is Slavic, and this saying seemed to reflect a more optimistic approach than the typically stoic Slavic outlook. So this was enough for us to start chatting, and it gave me the impetus to do an admittedly rather shallow (but better than none!) bit of research to help me understand this. Looking at the geography was enough to start explaining some things (everything is a long way away from Australia, so Europe, and eastern Europe in particular, is a mystery to most of us, with impressions basically formed from Hollywood depictions of Siberia and Moscow, which isn't even particularly accurate for Moscow!). Then the brief overview of history knocked the other misconceptions away and my mental image of Lithuania has forever changed. I still think that spending time with a Lithuanian would give me a better picture of the culture, but I'm making progress. I wouldn't say that everybody takes the same interest that I do in understanding these things, but I also have to say that it's not true that nobody cares about your passion for your correct national identity.
It sounds like you could probably arrange for some better quality coffee if you consider it important enough. Maybe what you do have is just good enough to counteract the effort involved. If you were having to make do with truly terrible coffee, it would probably seem a much smaller effort. If you think it might give you something to look forward to every morning, maybe now that you are thinking about it is a good time to make it happen. It could be that little difference that makes it easier to start the day, i.e. if you wake up looking forward to a nice coffee rather than thinking about the work you need to do. Then you can enjoy your start to the day and start thinking about your work afterwards when you're better prepared. Something to think about, anyway. :-D

Typically, fried rice with other fried stuff like hotdogs, egg, tocino, etc. Sometimes I'll just go to the store and get some bread rolls or maybe a loaf of bread and make some coffee. Leftovers are also always cool.

Few days ago i came to realization that my breakfast menu basically boils down to caffeine and sugar. I drink two cups ( by cup i mean 0.5l pots ) of coffee and eat yogurt and/or another sugary thing which doesnt even have name in English ( i never seen this thing outside my own country actually ) . So for the past few days i'm trying to cut off this healthy diet and started eating eggs,avocados and various mushes. Not as tasty but maybe i will live 2 days longer like this ( still need to deal with my backlog somehow ) .
What do you eat for breakfast? Maybe i will get some ideas because i'm already getting sick of those.
