Mom's Big Breakfast #FoodPicFriday

There is nothing better than a big breakfast at Mom's. Growing up she always made sure we were well fed, and as adults, the dinners/lunches/breakfasts at her place are always delicious and served in enormous quanities.

A big breakfast at Mom's usually happens on Christmas day. Her breakfast options include everything, with a side of everything else. Eggs (any style), hash browns, bacon, peameal bacon, sausage rounds, English muffins, various cheeses, V8 juice, and orange juice (sometimes with champagne in it).

Pictured here is a huge pile of bacon (peameal and regular), keeping warm until everything else is ready. If you are quick enough, you can sneak a piece of snackin' bacon while waiting for breakfast to be served.

It's Still Here

We got our first real snow storm of the season late last night. I know this because we were driving home in it and I was reminded that we need to put our snow tires on. Rain can quickly turn into snow this time of year - what fun!

Checking outside this morning, the snow had yet to melt away. The air was damp and cold and it made me long for hot chocolate, Christmas lights, and festive music. I think we still have some time before there is a constant blanket of snow on the ground, but like the Stark's say, Winter is coming.

Everything is a Photo Opportunity #22

A few summers ago I took this photo at my friend Taye's cottage. I had just started using the Hipstamatic App on my iPod and I was taking photos of anything and everything, as I was under the impression that a 70's filter made everything more awesome. It wasn't always the case, but this is one of the better photos I took.

My Once-A-Year Mug

This happened this morning.

Love using this mug!
