 Me and my partner in breakfast had the chance to get out for a bite on Saturday. It was a horribly miserable, gray, rainy ugly day and we thought it a good idea to go walk about downtown Penticton!

 I’m always on the lookout for somewhere new for a nosh and it occurred to me that we have a large fancy resort hotel right on the lake that I have never even been in before, so off we went to Magnums on the Lake!

 It was dead quiet at a little after 8 in the morning, but cozy. The bubbly waitress gave us a little quiet table in back, right beside one of the floor to ceiling windows that looked out on Okanagan Lake.

I took a seat on the comfy bench with the throw pillows and fitted my lap with a real proper cloth napkin. Just outside our window was “Chef Chris’ Herb Garden” so I knew any herb on my breaky would be fresh.

 As miserable as it was, it was still nice to look out across the lake while dining. There was a gap in the rain and a couple rainbows showed themselves for a while too. No I don’t have any pictures, I hate rainbow pictures. I find them tacky for some reason.

 After a quick parouse of the reasonably priced menu, I opted for something a little out of the ordinary; a smoked salmon, goat cheese and chive omlette, pan fried potatoes and multigrain toast.

 My partner opted for something a little more tradtional and had two eggs poached meduim, back bacon, multigrain toast and pan fried potatoes.

 I totally enjoyed the pan fried potatoes and got a little giddy when I broke into my omlette and found a big creamy rich center of melted goat cheese. *drool*

 It was a wonderful break from the everyday eggs and toast I usually have and for just a fleeting moment, I felt just a little spoiled having such a nice breakfast in such a beautiful setting. I will definatly be a repeat customer!
