Lazy Mornings

 Happy Bagels & Lox Day (to those who celebrate; in this case, Matt).

All Day, Every Day

 

Scone Dome

It has long been my belief that restaurants should serve breakfast foods all day.   If you cut off the eggs and pancakes at ten in the morning, points are docked.

Milk Chocolate Chip Scones - Not too sweet

 

We've gotten into the habit of doing a big breakfast for Sunday dinner. The menu changes from week to week. Pancakes, French toast, waffles, biscuits, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, omelets, hash brown, bacon (and faux bacon!); if it's breakfast, I make it. 

Agatha Christie Scones - Quaint Village Murder Optional

It's filling, it's comforting, it's carbolicious.  It's an all-day operation, but always worth it. 

Blueberry-Lemon Scones for the Ent-Child

Timing is critical. We always have tea with breakfast-dinner, but Matt (and Alex, for that matter) can't have caffeine after a certain point, or sleep going AWOL. 

Rings of Carby Goodness, AKA Bagels

So we perversely sit down at the table between five and five-thirty, digging into our mini breakfast buffet.

Cheese Drawer Tart

This week, I went with three kinds of scone - Bakery-Style Cream Scones with Chocolate, Agatha Christie's English Scones, and Lemon-Blueberry Scones (which also happen to be vegan), bagels, and a 'Cheese Drawer Tart'; a way to clean out the cheese drawer, use up the last of the cream and those few eggs taking up space.
Sometimes, I even have pie crust dough in the freezer, begging to be used. 

Too much food, but no one ever complains. Bonus: Breakfast is set for next few days.
