All things bright and beautiful

Sunday was my last day of a long holiday vacation. I slept late (for me), waking at 8:30 after a wonderful dream that I couldn’t remember. I was determined not to think about Monday, not once. This was going to be a good day and I was planning on beginning it with a delicious breakfast.

My husband had just left to continue his morning walk with George, and told me he’d just finished his breakfast. So I decided to make an omelet. For one.

I got out one of my new cutting boards and a knife, both gifts from my son.

When my son bought these, he was standing in line with Brooke Shields. I kid you not. He was shopping at Sur La Table in NYC shortly before Christmas and she was behind him. So Brooke Shields saw my Christmas presents before I did.

I love the scent of onions and mushrooms while they’re cooking. And call me crazy, but I like a little bit of nutmeg sprinkled on my mushrooms. It adds some pizzazz.

This is a colorful post, so here’s some yellow to brighten your day. I whipped up 2 egg whites and one yolk.

And because the next day and the months to come would be free of fat and holiday goodies, I decided to splurge on the cheese for my omelet. This is gruyere. And my life is now complete.

The last of the Thomas’ Cranberry English Muffins, and a glass of milk completes the meal.

Getting back to school was actually great. Although I enjoy the time off, I like the steady routine of my job. And I only wish my husband had something that made him this glad. I don’t mean to put a damper on anything, but sometimes I feel a little bad about being glad.

But enough of this.

Kudos to anyone who knows the author of the book that matches this post’s title.

Until tomorrow, my friends . . .

PS ~ For those who asked the question of how I got the navigation bars at the top of the blog (under the header), the tutorial I used is here: {link}. I’m sure there are others out there, but this worked for me. Make sure you have the links ready to go, e.g. ‘About Me’, ‘Recipes’, etc. by creating a post, hitting publish and then burying it somewhere in your blog. By that I mean to change the date.
