I love Sunday Morning.
Coffee Brewing...
Grapefruit + grapefruit spoon.
Rye toast, sunshine, NPR, Liane Hansen's voice,
Garrison Keillor, pups, the Sunday paper.
Many of the same rituals as every morning, yet, it feels different.
Maybe because it includes boys who...
Crawl back into their beds...
Whilst I make curtains.
Then there's
1 o'clock lunch prep.
A rough cut of veggies for our lox treat.
It's funny, I take hundreds of everyday photos.
Lots of food pictures.
Like, the colors of my juicing pulp.
(Carrot and beet pulp make incredible colors)
So many photos of our day-to-day lives, and yet, I rarely share them.
I intend to.
(note the thick blond eyelashes, tee hee)
But time...
Time is a tough thing to wrangle in, you know?
So today, let's savor the layers of our Sunday eats, and some everyday photos.
Shall we?
(I took these a couple of Sundays ago, but we are having the same thing today)
Left over mashed potatoes and 4 eggs make incredible potato pancakes...
Topped with... (from bottom to top)
Sour cream (the real stuff).
(you can use cream cheese)
Avocados.
Vine ripened tomatoes.
Lox.
Red onions.
More sour cream.
And a dollop of caviar, for a hint of salty ocean goodness.
Oh and, don't forget a few capers too.
(I looove capers, but caper-berries freak me out, you? I once had a particularly bad flavored inner fleshy skin tone one, that scarred me for life. So, I'll stick to capers.)
This is one of my most favorite eats.
I could have it everyday.
After our nosh, I go back to my thing, and Mister goes outside to work on his things.
There is always somethig to do out there.
Our list is never ending.
So, when late afternoon rolls in...
I always make an afternoon delight pick me up for Mister.
(I do this on Saturday too)
A large cup of coffee, one package of cocoa mix, and some whipped cream.
Oh, and a dash on cinnamon.
(I always steal a sip or two)
He loves this.
He Mmmms while he sips.
(I got a few thriftventures yesterday, along with this shirt for Mister, which he has decided to use for working in the yard, but it's uncanny how it matches the mug)
And yes, he is always plugged in to NPR.
I should have never given him my walkman arm band thingie.
:)
Everyday photos.
Heartwarming.
Oh and, how about this one...
Miles begs Matty to break him out of his little room.
Matty is always on baby brother alert.
He even tugs on my sleeve, if Miles gives the slightest whimper.
Well, I better get back to work.
I was on a roll working on a project, and making curtains, and then, I got off track talking your ear, err, eyeballs off.
Sooooooo....
Off I go for now.
ps: Have you seen Blood into Wine? Do you like Maynard James Keenan of Tool (and A Perfect Circle?). I love that he has a winery in Az. And I loved the movie, it was funny too. I saw it a couple of months ago, but his winery and it's locale have been on my mind this morning. More about Caduceus Cellars here...
