5. I had my cereal way too early, and I'm hungry again, so a large potato, sliced & fried

with bean gravy [1] and 2 poached eggs [2]

[1] bean gravy is just simply beans placed in a can with water (3/4 cups beans to 2.5 cups water) in a slow cooker for about 8 hours, usually a 15-bean package (15 different bean types). It gets put on just about everything from salad (when cold), and on top of any starch (potatoes, pasta, rice) when heated. Along with spaghetti sauce in the case of spaghetti.
    If I make it in an Instapot, I do a one pound bean package in 9 cups water. IIRC cook timer is set to one hour, in addition it takes 20 minutes to preheat, and then something like 10 minutes of sit time before releasing the rest of the steam.

The potato slices are pan fried on modest heat because I don't have an oven or toaster oven or air fryer. Am working on one of the latter two. Lack of kitchen counter space. As it is, my much-used Instapot is in another room.

[2] One egg each in these poacher cups

floating in a slow cooker full of very hot water for about 12-15 minutes.
I only have a dozen eggs in a 3-week period. These are nearing their best-by dates.
