Yesterday, I was reminded of my promise for more “Behind the Scenes” entries here on the Morning Edition blog.

Today, a look at the bizarre breakfast habits of the Morning Edition family.  And we are a family, this exhausted band of people united by the cruelty of the clock and this 5 - 7 am TV newscast.  Just like a family, we laugh and fuss and work hard and hardly know it when another year has passed.  Some of us have been together for years!

But I digress from the critically important topic of breakfast.  Here’s who’s eating what today:

Jeff Crowe (studio cameras) - potato chips (Ruffles)
Rob Williams (weatherman) - Kashi cereal (dry)
Georgia Ann Crowe (director) - Special K cereal
Yasmeen Elayan (producer) - warm Pepsi (forgot to put it in the fridge)
Nicki Mayo (reporter) - Smoothie
Toby Laek (graphics) - Kashi Cereal and a no-bake cookie
David Thompson (audio) - Red Bull
Josh Smith (reporter) - fruit (see the picture), cheese, Special K, and LOTS of coffee

What’s on your breakfast menu?
