Porridge-making Championships!
Ah... in breakfast news... 
The annual world porridge-making championships have named their winners this Sunday with the champion Maria Soep of Roineabhal Country House, Kilchrenan, Taynuilt (Scottish Highlands) grabbing the coveted Golden Spurtle prize.
So how does one cook the world's best porridge?
Apparently, you add whiskey to traditional organically grown pinhead oatmeal. :) Yummy.
"The most spartan of traditionalists... maintain it should only ever be mixed in a clockwise direction using the right hand, so as not to invoke the Devil. Others consider it sacrilege to mix with anything other than the spurtle - a straight, wooden stick without a moulded end. The mere mention of a microwave or Pyrex dish, meanwhile, is likely to cause a riot. It is all stirring stuff, according to Mr Bruce [the Championships' organizer]"

A Fig of an Experiment
5 fresh or frozen green figs
1 banana
2 plums
blueberries to taste
coconut
sesame seeds
1 tablespoon lemon flavored fish oil (for that doze of omega 3) or
oil and a spray of lemon juice.
Combine. Eat. Enjoy.
A colorful and tasty breakfast to refresh the body, especially if it's sluggish from sleep. Fig is alkalizing, and has been used to moisten dry throats, treat coughs, sore throats and to clean out the intestines. In case you need help with that sort of thing. :)
I've been experimenting with lots of figs lately. This is just a very not boring fruit salad and more inventive stuff is in the works...
