The host is having folks bring in breakfast foods. There has been a frittata, some blueberry French toast and a tenderloin omelet so far. I am growing quite hungry. I did go down and grab about a third of a pumpkin pie bagel to hold me until breakfast. A woman with a delightful accent is now talking about welsh cakes. She is asserting that they are wonderful for breakfast.
Another guest is a singer named Jeremy Fisher. He just performed a Christmas song called, “I owe, I owe, I owe”. Quite cute. The host is asking Jeremy now about the stories that the performer offers up between songs, “Are they true?” Mr. Fisher responds that his memory is additive and that as time goes by the story gets warped a bit here and a twisted tad there as he responds to each audience he faces. He is a fun guest and a passable performer.
A new dish is being offered up for the breakfast. She says it is a bit of a muffelet. It is an omelet cooked in a muffin tray. Bread, stuffed at the bottom of the tin, add eggs and cheese and bake. Sounds good. Me, I don’t think that is an omelet. Sounds to me more like a scrambled egg bake. I have tried making those throwing in some crisped up maple bacon. Not bad but the kids did not like the odd texture.
As I was out of the room the program shifted to world news. Apparently there is a security summit in Halifax and John McCain is screaming that our policy toward the Islamic State is in his word “delusional”. Yeah, it is time to change the station. Off to Pandora. The first song that comes up is one called Dreamer or Believer, the very catchy hook is “The worst is behind him, love is gonna find him. He’s good no troubles that a dollar won’t cure.” The singer is Jimmy Gardreau. I love my Pandora “Wake the Dead” station.
As to my breakfast I can smell the scent of a ham steak working its way up the stairwell from the kitchen. Five or six days of the week oatmeal. Today will be a piece of ham and most likely an omelet. Saturday mornings are good morning. If the ice doesn’t linger I will most likely go to work late this afternoon or early evening. I will try and rally the troops to go cut our Christmas tree midday. This means bringing the boxes of Christmas stuff up from the basement today. Ah how quickly the year has flown by. Have a Great Day and may the turkey be with you come week’s end.
