SUNDAY BRUNCH
Today was be extra kind to yourself day … sooooo, I made myself a special brunch. It was a fluffy ham and egg cheese stuffed omelet. Used Provel cheese from Imo’s because it melts smooth and creamy inside without over cooking the outside. Also had a side of fresh, frozen strawberries and a glass of V-8 juice. Wow, that covered all the food group bases.
I must say, I’m becoming addicted to the fresh, frozen strawberries. I made them because I purchased a huge box of fresh berries that were on sale at the stupidmarket last week. I washed them, removed the stems, dusted them with sugar and stored them five to a bag in the freezer. Then I bring them to partially thaw before eating. It’s like eating the forbidden fruit or fresh strawberry sorbet.
And yes, I saved a couple of bites of my omelet for Mlle Renee who sat by drooling as I cooked it. She thought the ham was bacon.
BRUNCH FOR A SLEEP-IN SUNDAY
Mademoiselle Renee had to answer the morning call of nature about 6:45, and even at that early time of day it was HOT and STICKY cut-rate preview of the day to come. So after we came inside and I gave here a Liver Snap, which was probably why she got up so early in the first place, she went back to sleep. I did the same , only I also turned off the clock radio alarm which would have gone off in a scant hour or two to the Acoustic Sunrise program.
Then we both woke up a half past eleven which was too late for my usual bowl of Cheerios, and too early for an oven-toasted grilled cheese sandwich with sliced ripe home-grown tomatoes which were really grown in Arkansas.
So I decided to make something special …
LOS HUEVOS ESPECIALES Y LA CARNE DE VACA TAJADA DE ROBERTO
Which is just eggs scrambled with a slice of chopped prime roast beef and topped with a dollop of extra chunky HOT salsa and shredded Mexican cheese which has been allowed to slowly melt. Blue and Black Berries are on the side and a fresh-baked buttermilk biscuit. My beverage was iced mandarin orange and peach black tea.
Nothing less than a * * * * * star Sunday Brunch.
... 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)
