I don't often make such an elaborate breakfast as this but when you have fruit, juice, eggs and jam that look this pretty together, it's fun to assemble a serious breakfast.I cut up some cantaloupe, white peaches and plums for a fresh fruit compote that was so sweet it made the orange juice taste tart. Poached a couple of eggs to top the English mushions (as my friend Wendy calls them) and toasted an additional muffin to top with the strawberry jam I made a few weeks ago.
No need for lunch this day - after consuming this still life, I retired from the kitchen until dinner time.
Now that's a breakfast! No tummy rumbles after that.
ReplyDeleteWhooee. What a majestic spread.

I love a breakfast like that - perfect... for dinner. If I ate it in the morning I'd be worthless all day. But for dinner, maybe with a glass or rose champagne? Hm? Good idea or what!
ReplyDeleteGreg, you're right - no one could be hungry after all that!
ReplyDeleteCookiecrumb, it was a thing of beauty.
Katiez, I _was_ worthless all day. :-) Blissfully so.
