For breakfast, I made...something. I was going for omelette, but I didn't want to get more cooking implements and bowls dirty than necessary. I poked through the refrigerator for things that could, conceivably at least, go well with eggs. I came up with leftover butternut squash soup and some frozen sweet potato chunks.
I mixed two eggs and the rest of the soup together in my skillet, and stirred, and stirred, and raised the heat, and stirred some more. The egg finally started coagulating into a repulsive yellow-orange mess. Then I added the sweet potato chunks, not realizing how truly disgusting this would make everything. It looked like chunky technicolor cat food. It was also on the watery side, so I finished it off in the microwave and then siphoned all the extra water off and added a little salt.
If you can get past the way it looks, it's actually pretty good. Even without the sweet potato, the soup gave the eggs a nice silky texture and fall flavors without adding more dairy.
To drink, I had some yerba mate tea from the Republic of Tea. Their blends are usually very good, and this one is my favorite. It tastes nothing like real mate, but the flavors are very nutty and earthy, making it a nice coffee substitute without losing the caffeine.
