AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT …
That’s what I said to myself this morning shortly after I asked myself, “What should we have for breakfast?” Naturally my constant companion, Mlle. Renee shouted out, “BACON!” And quickly followed up with, “BUTTERED TOAST!” Renee has a two-track mind when it comes to comfort breakfast food. “No, I want something completely different this morning,” I said. To which she replied, ” Oh, no, experimental breakfasts again — quick pass me the dogfood!”
I had something totally different in mind. When I went shopping on Thursday, I had discovered something new a local artisan bread maker had on the bakery shelves … PRETZEL BUNS!
I sliced it in half and popped it into the toaster oven for a quick warmup and toast.
Then I spread the bottom side with peanut butter which quickly melted into the warm dough and topped it with blackberry jam. You didn’t expect me to sacrifice such a royal roll to the plebeian likes of ordinary grape jelly? (Actually, I don’t even like grape jelly.) It was extraordinary!
Even Mlle. Renee was attracted back into the kitchen by the aroma of the toasted pretzel bun and the melting peanut butter. She even added a few long sniffs followed by a lip lick and said, “Actually, that smells pretty good.”
Yeah, I even saved the last bite for her.
Forgot to mention, it snowed last and we woke to find everything covered with a thick blanket of white.

... a somewhat unknown or perhaps imaginary actor, writer, director, producer, photographer, friend, brother, uncle and all round good fellow that you really should get to know because he lives with that most glamorous fourpaw Mademoiselle Renee. (Mlle. Renee for short)
Lucky Renee.
Renee hates the microwave, but she loves the toaster oven that sits on top of it. Well, not the toaster, but the smells that come out of it.
