In response to getting tired of her friends posting pictures of their fancy meals on Facebook, my friend Jenny Lee started a blog titled Ordinary Breakfast, where she documents her morning cereals and other generally normal looking meal.
In Jenny’s words:
“Last night two friends and I discussed the topic of people taking photos of their meals and posting them online. Sure, we see tons of photos of extraordinary meals, but what about the ordinary ones? My breakfast, which usually consists of a bowl of highly unremarkable cereal and soy milk, eaten out of a paper bowl and with a plastic spoon (sorry, environment) at my desk at work, is just… Ordinary. Average. Heck, it’s probably even below average. And it deserves recognition, dammit.”
She’s definitely creative with the whole thing. There are some gems:
I was lucky enough to have my breakfast guest featured, after a friend sent Jenny a picture of me about to eat a ham, egg, and cheese sandwich with a side of corned beef hash at Mul’s in Southie.
I wish we had a picture of the sweatshirt the guy across from me was wearing. Oh wait, it looks like we might.
