Breakfast in bed part 2: Revenge of the egg

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Just another quick update. Karin asked me once what “gourmet scrambled eggs” were exactly. Well today I made them — Scrambled Eggs as per Gordan Ramsay’s instruction, made to perfection and served to Marisa for breakfast in bed while piping hot (using one of our awesome serving trays):

mmmmmm

Three eggs whisked with butter over medium heat, half a tablespoon of creme fraiche, scallions, salt and pepper on top of a lightly toasted piece of sourdough bread drizzled with a little bit of olive oil (love being able to use the olive oil bottle with slow-drip spout finally), all with roasted cherry tomatoes and grilled mushrooms. All of this sprinkled with a very fine layer of cumin, mostly for color. Unfortunately we were out of OJ so she’s gonna have to deal with milk.

Also I told her she’s only allowed to eat this breakfast if she promises to upload the pictures from the bridal shower. I assure you she’s on it.

Today is the tuxedo fitting! Tomorrow is geocaching! woohoo!

Snow day!

Just a little off topic, but monday was the first blizzard we’ve had in a while and I felt it was necessary to introduce our cats to their first 12+ inches of snowfall.

Dash was very excited about the snowfall. Violet on the other hand preferred to stay inside and peek out from behind the couch.

Edit: Just added a few more pics from the blizzard in our photo gallery. Check it out!
