Morning!

The sun is coming up a little earlier each day. Love that. With the sun comes a miriad of people who wander from their beds hungry!

For them: Pancakes. (Which, let's just be real, are merely a vehicle for butter and syrup. I allow it)

For me: 2 eggs, asapargus, lemon zest, cayenne, salt and pepper, and a splash of half and half. Bake at 400 in a buttered dish until set.  Mmmm, mmmm.


I know you are there and that I am here...but I really wish you could come for breakfast.

It's my favorite time of the day and I make a pretty good latte.

I probably don't have a cup with your initial on it... but we could just stay in our pajamas all day. So what do you say?

Stormy night 4


... wtih some of this and some red wine (okay a lot of that) and this.


It was rough, but I managed to make it through the night. 


Whew!


** just want to say that I previously linked to the wine I was drinking and it seems that there was a slight glitch in their website. I wanted you to know that I never intented to misdirect you to that other less-than-wholesome-website.  Sorry if any of you were caught off guard by that. Embarassing!
