OHOH is that French Toast? I LOVE French toast...Sundays are best for it...I always give mine a sprinkle of nutmet and cinnomon...using cream instead of milk...crisp bacon strips...darn..now I have to go start cooking, you made me hungry! Sandi
Sunday morning is our big breakfast morning, too. That's when everyone is usually home. But you've inspired me. Next time I'm going to pay attention to the presentation more. We all sit at the table together but I don't "prepare" the table ahead of time. Color, centerpiece, maybe even cloth napkins (I have tons of them but never use them!). Lesson learned today......always look for the art in living.....it's in the small things! ~Allie
@ Sandi McBride: Yes, French Toast with sausages and New England maple sirup. ;-)
@ Gemma: I like to cook breakfst on Sundays. The best part is the first bite followed by a sip of Earl Grey, then lingering around the table, when time stands still.
@ Allie: I am a believer in savouring the small things, setting the table is one of these everyday gestures that can set the mood for the day.
@ Paz: I would have to ask you to bring along some of these delicious little breakfast sausages that Whole Foods makes. I am also at my last bottle of New Enlgnad maple sirup. *smile*
@ Absolute Vanilla (& Atyllah): Although I love poached eggs, I have never tried to make Eggs Benedict. I haven't seen Thomas' English Muffins around here either. I have to go look at your photo! ;-)
@ Maria: I was meeting a friend from my very young years yesterday (go see the "Late Sixties Photographs by Christian Skrein" at the Wien Museum, open only for another few days, if you like photography!), and only then did I realise that she was the one you once gave me a tape with this song. We were both living in Rome then.
What a truly great surprise when I clicked on the picture. I don't know that song (a few years before my time ;) ), but it's a wonderful song. Found this quote from Jim Croce on wikipedia:
"If you dig it, do it. If you really dig it, do it twice."
Andrea Veloux: Thank you for digging up that Jim Croce quote, I agree with it a 100%! ;-) I know this song thanks to a friend, who's a fan of Jim Croce. I have loved it, ever since I listened to it for the first time.
You may double click the picture. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday!
What an evocative post. It could make even a King feel wistful.

Have you noticed that my place mats would be a perfect setting for for a Kaffeeklatsch with Pierre Herme's Ispahan macarons? ;-)))
@ Cipriano:
ReplyDeleteHow about a plane ticket and a bottle of Canadian Maple Sirup? ;-)
Breakfast at your place. Nice.
