We've been having a spate of rainy/stormy weather lately which makes me glad I shopped-up well on Wednesday. Earlier today, a warm front passed through with strong winds, rain and a tornado warning for parts of the area. Behind it we're having strong, fresh westerlies which are bringing in some delightfully cool, dry air, allowing me to open the windows and air out the house.
During these past few days we've been occupying ourselves with a nice mixture of chores, mild exercise (tai chi and light stretch bands for me, weights and strong stretch bands for him), cooking activities, youtube videos, reading and jewelry making. It always amazes us how fast the week fly's by.

| 6am this morning, gloomy and wet out front. At least the bottlebrushes and azaleas are enjoying it. |

| 12noon and all is well - sunny and breezy. |
Since there's nothing new to talk about that doesn't include the Ukraine, politics, inflation or covid 😟, I'll talk about my passion for breakfast in all it's forms, but mostly involving eggs, lol. I'm a proud egg eater, have been all my life, and to me, nothing keeps me going throughout the day better than a nice, big breakfast. Some people say "I could never find the energy at that time of morning to make a full breakfast!", or "toast or granola is fine", and hey, no judgement here.
I do take steps to make it easier and less work to gen-up a nice meal, like making/freezing french toast in advance or using frozen, store-bought Potatoes O'brien, and making it my mission to always having a big bowl of fresh fruits cut up and handy. Here are a few examples.
 |
| Here's a favorite; egg on leftover pizza, fresh fruit & coffee, it doesn't get much easier - nuke the pizza and fry an egg. |
 |
| Here's a good one; scrambled eggs, sausage and french toast plus fresh fruit and coffee. |

| Potatoes O'brien with diced ham, fried egg, and toast plus fresh fruit and coffee. |
And the last thing on my show 'n tell list today is a shot of the jewelry dabbling since my last posting. Some more fun, adjustable cuff bracelets and a couple of pendants that turned out pretty well. I'd be remiss if I didn't give some well-deserved credit to 2 of the wire-weaving mavens on youtube that I personally enjoy (there are so many!); OxanaCrafts, and Imbali Crafts. Wonderful, clear tutorials and great looking projects.

| I'm pretty pleased! |
Well, thanks for checking in and I hope it entertained you for a few minutes! Have a great day.
We have full breakfast about 1/2 the week, the other 1/2 is just an English muffin or something like that. The jewelry looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good balance. I think I'm just a bit greedy in the mornings.
DeleteOkay; I'll be the 'judgey one"---Egg on Pizza??
ReplyDeleteand ??? lmao had a slice in the fridge this morn., but never thought of that! E says of course he'd try it; he eats everything! haha bfn, love ya's xxoo
Hah, don't knock it until you've tried it! Thanks for the compliment & Hey to E.
Deleteps--MORE beautiful jewelry! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking for a job, you could open up a restaurant or jewelry store ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice pieces and dishes and I just know Ed enjoyed the food!
I need to open a Tourist Trap store - between my fabric trivets, stained glass and various jewelry pieces I could "clean-up" - literally and figuratively, haha. We have a restaurant around the corner that went out of business a few years back and Ed is still saying "you should've taken over Manny's". Such loyalty, I'm pretty lucky!
