bacon and eggs

Breakfast is by far my favorite meal.  When I was pregnant, it would be nothing for me to put away the Schnecksville Breakfast Feast, named for the diner that made it.  It was composed of 2 eggs (any way), choice of meat, hash browns, toast, and pancakes.  It came on three plates and was delicious!  Now that Grayson is here, diner breakfasts aren't as practical, so I like to make my own breakfast feast on the weekends when I have time.  This morning I served scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage (links, not patties), potatoes O'Brien (not gonna lie, they were in a bag), bagels with plain and veggie cream cheese, orange, and apple juices.  I had to serve myself, and it came on one plate, but it was every bit as delicious!

Snowmaggedoween

Our Halloween party plans officially went out the snow-covered window yesterday morning at about 9:30am. As I was getting my hair cut, colored, and highlighted, I was texting and Facebooking feverishly to see if the snow had minimized the already scant guest list. The results were 1 yes and 2 maybes. I was secretly happy. My husband is not the type of man to sit still, so on snowy days, I get excited because I know it means some couch time with the hubs is definitely on the agenda. All the food and drinks had already been purchased so me, josh, and "uncle" pete had our own little Halloween soirée complete with awful store-bought pizza bagels, an Epic Fail Mealtime, a super fussy baby, some Resident Evil 5, The History of Zombies, Stella, and of course 8 inches of snow. To many, this sounds horrifically boring, but to me, it was perfect.
