(("FEBRUARY 2015"))... Breakfast / Lunch / Brunch....

I made myself some French toast. It was good for a change of pace....

Love our local bakery rye bread for breakfast.

Good for a chilly morning, Jimmy. Just right!

Thanks Beth... it was a good start to the snow and ice removal we got overnight.
6 inches of heavy snow / ice . Perfect for making snow cones.

Thrilled I live alone     

Breakfast Tart aka clean out the fridge & put everything in  a pastry shell.with 6 eggs... then bake..then share..

Great way to 're-invent' stuff you would soon have to toss.....

Looks great!

treated myself to pastrami on rye.

Oh, YUM!

Once in a while I'll order one 'to go' from the local Jewish deli. I always ask for it 'dry'....no mustard, no nothing. That way, when I get it home, I can dismantle it and, using the loaf of their bread I usually have in the pantry, make three sandwiches. I can't eat as much meat as they put on the sandwich but it's a great way to have a fairly inexpensive lunch for the two of us....plus have enough for a second go around for Dane the next day.

I made myself a couple soft cooked eggs for my breakfast....gently placed 2 refrigerated eggs in boiling salted water, set timer for 5 minutes. Easy, peasy. When the timer went off I pushed down the toast and it was hot & ready when I was done peeling and rinsing the eggs.

UNFORTUNATELY.....

the LAST bite of egg/yolk I wiped up with the last bit of toast had a MINISCULE bit of egg shell.

Amazing how that teeny, tiny bit of "crunch" can ruin a perfectly good breakfast.....

oatmeal bread ( ) toast with Lingonberry jam. 2 mugs of great coffee.

When I was in Orlando with Lyn & Barb we stopped at the IKEA store. I looked for Lingonberry jam...didn't have any. They did have a "Cloudberry" jam, but I didn't have a clue what it was so I didn't bother buying any.

They had Lingonberry juice boxes, just no jam. Go figure.

I buy it at Marshalls. TJ Maxx most likely has it too.Cloudberry seems to me is along the same thing.I know my Swedish gal gave me some  jam & liquor..So good. Low in sugar. .Think she said the berry only blooms once a year.I need to goggle it.

eggs sunny side up over potato,onion,beef hash..

Great pic of a great breakfast!

I just got some Lingonberry jam from the local grocery store.

Lucky you. I am going to pick up some specials at my go to store now.Harris Teeter.100 times better then Publix.Pretty slim pickins for grocery stores here.I will check & see if they have it.Marshalls is right next door so I know they have it.$3.99.
I used the last of mine this morning.

As far as I know it has always been available around here. When I lived in that small town before I moved here, they had it too.

Since Dane's spending his day tucked in bed, I get to fix whatever I want for meals (since I'm the only one eating).

Today, one of my favorites, but not his:

Pierogies (homemade/frozen) with potato/cheese filling, carmalized onions & sour cream. YUM!

chicken sandwich for me.
