Breakfast at the Beach

Well folks, it's been a while since I last posted. I know you are all hungrily enjoying your breakfasts out there, so maybe you haven't had the time to check in anyway. My family and I are visiting lovely Rehoboth Beach, Del. for a long weekend of sun, fun, and good morning goodness on the breakfast table.

While it is a Sunday, and the choicest breakfast buffets are being laid out in carpeted ballrooms and greasy spoons alike, I find that making a nice breakfast at home among the pyjama'd legs of my relatives and the sprawled-out morning paper can be a relaxing treat to start another beach day.

This morning's gastronomical masterpiece happened to be a "smiley-face" plate for my beautiful better half. The "mouth" was the main course, consisting of a semicircle cheddar cheese omelet. The "eyes" were two buttered, jellied halves of a Thomas' (c) Whole Wheat English Muffin (love those nooks & crannies!), and to complete the look, a sliced strawberry "nose".

Such a simple measure can go a long way to show the one you love how much you care, while giving her or him a healthy portion of energy to get them through the morning! Now it's a few more refills on my cup of joe, and I can start the four-hour odyssey that is packing up the car for a 100-yard drive to the seaside with my 2-year old. Luckily for me I started the day off right!

Cheers,
R.P.
