Weekday Breakfast

Here I am writing about breakfast again.  Breakfast isn’t so popular here in Zadar.  It usually consists of a cup of coffee and something from the bakery next door.  D eats cookies before work.  I have never been a big breakfast fan myself, but it’s always been a priority of mine to get something wholesome in my tummy before 10AM.  It’s been a bit of a challenge here to find something that fits the bill.  Recently I discovered “Fitness Bread”.  It’s this super dense, super grainy, super thin bread made in Germany, and it’s the only “healthy” bread around.  My favorite thing to eat for breakfast on weekdays is a piece of fitness bread with a few crumbly slices of homemade Slavonski soft cheese, drizzled lightly with honey.  The cheese is something between ricotta and feta, and the honey is produced locally on the island my family is from Dugi Otok, about an hour ferry ride from Zadar.  It’s perfect with a cup of coffee, and it’s all I need to start the day off well, which usually starts with dishes, yuck!
