I see I wasn't the only one inspired by RM's wonderful breakfasts. ;-) After all our talking, I had my brothers and my little sister over for breakfast on Saturday and made a big bunch of bacon and flapjacks - with real maple syrup, of course, this being Vermont and all!
Oh, and I hit the jackpot later on Saturday - we went to a little town in NH just to wander around, and the library was having a book sale. As it was later in the afternoon, they had dropped everything to a dollar a bag! The only table that looked like it had even been picked over was the romance table (which doesn't affect me!), so I was able to get a BIG bag of great stuff...mostly classics I will re-read over and over (Dickens, Hardy, Eliot, etc.), plus some mysteries, science fiction and a few kid's books, too. My bag was pretty stuffed...I offered to pay more when I went to pay because I had such a lot, but they wouldn't take it.
Now I just need to get some bookshelves...good thing none of you live close enough to drop in unexpectedly. ;-) My house is a disaster zone...
I've set up the breakfast buffet again. And don't worry Corin, there's PLENTY of bacon this time! :)
Flapjacks, scrambled eggs with ham and cheese, sausage patties and bacon slices for everyone! There's fresh bread in the basket there and creamy butter for the fearless calorie consumers - *grin*.
Fresh squeezed orange juice and ice cold milk are on the side table, along with hot strong coffee and teas. I've put the condiments on this same table because there was no room on the buffet table what with all of the food that's there already.
ENJOY! (and now I'm off to try and catch up - wish me luck).
