I Can Get Used To This

Three-day (Holiday) weekends are grand. That probably goes without saying. So in the midst of this President's Day long weekend, Adam and I enjoyed an especially enjoyable brunch. It was especially enjoyable for two reasons - 1) Sunday brunch is always a joyful occasion and 2) we were able to enjoy said brunch without any Monday Work Dread setting in. (I really do like my job, but still...I could do without Mondays).

We were up late for a birthday party the night before where one of us had fun and one of us had A LOT of fun and was now having trouble getting up out of bed. ;) I woke up surprisingly early, so I made my way to the grocery store to load up on some fruit, orange juice and bacon (obviously). I then did my best to lure the bum out of bed.

 

 Who doesn't get out of bed for bacon???

There was a lot of bacon. Luckily Matt, owner of Gus and Adam's roommate, was around and generously offered to help with the bacon consumption. As you can see I also put some fruit and veggies out for the men. They took the bait. Yay.

And because it was almost lunch by the time I got around to actually putting everything together, I made my breakfast into a sandwich. A freaking bomb sandwich.

Bagel with onion and chive flavored cream cheese, bell pepper, and egg. 

I think this is what my breakfast will look like tomorrow too. 

Green Tea and Guacamole

What? Your breakfast is better?

In truth, I only had a few bites - quality control! But the tea was good. (I had some Trader O's too)

Why was I making guacamole at 7 in the morning you ask? Because I have a big mouth, and last night at happy hour with the work crew I mentioned that I like to make guac...in fact, I'll bring it to work tomorrow for our big company meeting. Dummy.

But I do love guac, and it gave me an excuse to use the new ceramic knife Adam's parents gave me.

Cut's like a Knife! (But it feels so right)

The knife is amazing. I love it. 

I also love this: 

I wonder how many of my posts are on guac...

Tino was drooling.

Give me Some Guac!

And because it was the morning, and I had been drinking poor man's coffee (tea), I left this mess for after work. 

Sigh.

A Belated Christmas Feast (Post) Pt. 2

Christmas dinner was definitely a showstopper, but I don't want to leave out Christmas morning. Christmas morning entailed having breakfast with my siblings, Dad, Stepmom, Stepbrother and Stepsister in Scottsdale. With the fireplace roaring, we had a great time sipping coffee (with and without Baileys), mimosas, enjoying a delicious breakfast casserole my Stepmom made, and chowing down on a huge plate of bacon. We opened presents and watched as the not-yet 4 month old black lab puppy Thor had his way with all of the wrapping paper.

Bacon + Mimosas = Breakfast of Champions


Thor has a million toys. None of them stand up to a pile of ripped up paper. Go Figure.


He's a ladykiller, that one.
