Miscellany of a Cheshire Cat

I mentioned I got flowered and ballooned at the airport on Thursday. Here are a couple of the roses. I adore the color and sweetheart roses are just so beautiful. I’m also pleased to announce that it’s Saturday and I don’t feel like crap. HURRAY! I downed Emergen-C all week and I really think it helped. I still feel pretty run-down - we probably shouldn’t have hit a late movie last night - but overall I feel good.

Since tonight I’m being taken out for a belated birthday dinner, I decided to make a tasty belated birthday brunch today. Bacon and Swedish pancakes, plus eggs for the Fop. I finally got a splatter screen thing to put on top of the pan while frying things that like to spit like bacon and I’m happy with how much less clean up is necessary. Swedish pancakes are really the most awesome pancakes on the planet, for the record. And apparently eggs scrambled in the bacon pan are also full of awesomeness. Who knew? Well, I certainly didn’t! Eggs and I don’t have what you’d call a good relationship. We only get along when there’s quite a bit of flour or milk involved. And, thanks to the bacon, my cast iron frying pan is almost happily re-seasoned after much neglect. My Swedish pancake pan is seasoned so well it’s non-stick. Ah… breakfast happiness.
