Tossing Pebbles in the Stream

This blog is my place to sit and toss pebbles into the stream. The stream of Life relentlessly passing before us. We can affect it little. For the most part I just watch it passing and follow the flow. Occasionally, I need to comment on its passing, tossing a pebble at it to enjoy the ripple affect upon Life's surface.

Simple Pleasure . . . Sunday Breakfast

One of the things I enjoy about this time of year, when there is a definite chill in the air, both inside and outside my house, is cooking on my wood burning cookstove. The smell of the food, the warmth of the stove and the aroma and sound of wood burning, all add to the enjoyment.

Somehow the food tastes better.

Breakfast well underway: fried onions, pea-mealed bacon and eggs

Necessity being the mother of invention I made the toast on the top of the stove. My woodstove

toaster being over at the cabin.

Voila! the breakfast meal with coffee and unsqueezed orange juice. A meal worthy of this country gentleman on a quiet Sunday morning listening to some intelligent discussion on the CBC.

It would be nice to share this meal with a friend. . . . so if you are near by on a Sunday morning, drop around. Until then, I am content with my thoughts, my gal dog, Heidi and several cats. I can do this every morning but for some reason Sunday it feels the best.

I have left a reply over at my place.. but bacically it said that our house isfull of books, dvds, and soft toy all to do with Poo Bear... but the kids are not allowed near as they are Janes.. ha!..

Well, here's hoping you enjoyed it, and that Heidi didn't get too much of it.
At 10:23 p.m., Mary said...: Philip, Your breakfast looks delicious. When my toaster breaks down, I toast bread on a fork over the electric burner, but it does taste so much better made on a wood stove. Enjoy!

If only I could get over I'd be shoving that big dog out the way! :o)

Wish we could just continent hop from one end to another to sit for a spell and enjoy the company.

My favourite breakfast is toast with home fries and fried onions!! Not a lot of protein but it's sooooo good!
