yesterday, greg and morgan put up a curtain line we had brought back from austria (an ikea set manu had in her storage room that she said she wouldn't use and so we could have).
the plan was to be able to curtain off part of the room when guests are visiting, but the kittens have too much fun playing with the panels and so usually slide the pieces open . . not that we're surprised . .
this morning harley made a delicious english breakfast for us with beans, tomotoes, mushrooms and sausage.
i had been out beforehand to pick up vitamin c from a local health food store as the sudden cold weather has all of us feeling like we might catch colds . . and harley has had a bad cough. this morning it was 29 degrees when i went out, and this sunday the weather report says that it might go up to 59.
they had baked camembert, brussel sprouts with apple and bacon . .
mushroom flatbread, steak tartare . .
and apple tart tatin (meaning, caramelized and baked in the manner of an upside-down cake) with salted caramel ice cream. i'm getting hungry just writing about it . . (chanda said everything sounded good except the steak tartare, and i had to agree but i think morgan is another raw steak fan and would disagree). i'd like to visit the cafe just for the dessert . .
Happy Birthday to you and Korrina! The food does look good. I never quite understood why you would eat beans for breakfast. I wonder how that got started. Will you take the curtains down again? Could you shorten them so the cats won't notice them?
ReplyDeleteI was hoping they would just grow tired of the game and it seems they have. Thank you for the birthday wishes . . every year I'm amazed at how they go by . .
DeleteOh good!

DeleteMilo sounds so sweet . . and your description of the leaves, the rain and the wind sounds lovely.
I think I really meant to write that it sounds lovely in that blustery, romantic type of way . .
