Seattle is full of late Sunday mornings, perfect for breakfast at home.
Don’t get me wrong, Seattle is also full of late Sunday mornings perfect for breakfast OUT as well. It just seems as though everyone else has the same idea, “lets go get breakfast somewhere!” around 8am, Sunday morning, and by the time us late wakers finally roll out of bed and wipe the sleep out of our eyes, all the good breakfast spots are full, and You’re hungry and don’t feel like waiting.
So this late Sunday morning, I took it upon myself to make a nice, full, farmstyle breakfast for my husband and I.
Nothing special, just french toast, bacon, sausage, some fried eggs, toast for dipping, and over in the corner off camera, some little mini croissants with strawberry jam. A nice cold glass of fruit juice and some milk rounded off the meal, and we ate with smiles on our faces, glad we didn’t bother getting out of our PJ’s this cold January morning in the land of rain and… more rain.
…Though glancing out the window now as I type this, the weather man would make me a liar for not acknowledging the striking blue sky as it peeks from beneath its cloudy cover. Perhaps it too did not feel like waking early and shedding its PJ’s just to beat the breakfast crowd.
Here’s to delicious breakfasts, wherever you are.

Those are some amazing pictures Muffin- They made me realize that I *really* need to get a new camera. I’ve reached the limit with what I can do with mine and it’s time to move on!
Cheers!

Bulls on parade- I use a panasonic dmc lz5 6megapixel camera at the moment for my food photography. Its not so great with long shots or moving pictures, but its way cool for still, close shots. Thanks!
Peabody- Thank you! I’m getting a new camera pretty soon.. well.. 6months or so from now. I’ve decided to add to my collection, and I’d really like to get back to manual focus cameras. I think I’ve pretty much reached the limit on mine, too. I’m trying to branch out and take photos of other things, and this camera just won’t do it the way I want it to.

Wow, your breakfast makes my bowl of oatmeal with all bran look kinda weak. *sigh* Oh how I’d love some sausage right about now.

That looks almost preposterously delicious. I’m so impressed I’m a little breathless.
