Sunrise muesli

Today I woke up before sunrise for some reason so you will have to excuse the flash.

So, this morning it was sunrise muesli:

Muesli with milk, blueberries, slivered almonds and peanut butter.

And very strong coffee.

The dogs were out of kibble this morning so I am cooking them some breakfast now.

I will post pictures later...

The exquisite lure of negative space

I am happy to report that the de-cluttering is going well.

But, I am finding as things get more and more austere, I have the urge to go back and fill in the negative spaces.


I think this might be a version of a little kid's urge to knock over the tall stack of blocks.

Lunch was quick and easy:

Butter lettuce, turkey, apple and almonds all tossed with a fat-free raspberry balsamic dressing.

I didn't want to dirty another bowl so I just ate it in the big bowl I use to toss my salads.

For dessert, I couldn't resist these:

Lovely plump globes of sweet goodness.

Back to work for me. I hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

Guess who came to lunch?

I intended to take the dogs for a long walk but instead we ended up socializing.

Abby, Connor and their good friend Scout.

 And in the end, I don't think the dogs missed the long walk. After saying hello to several canine friends they were more than happy to head back home.

And guess who came to lunch? A very special guest -


French Brie!

The strawberries I ate for breakfast were so delicious I knew I wanted to include them in my lunch. I was going to save the french cheese for dinner tonight - but I decided I couldn't wait :-)

Here is how lunch shaped up - 

French brie, fat-free raspberry balsamic dressing, strawberries, slivered almonds and lettuce.

I wish I could tell you what it tasted like all together but I will admit that I ate all the brie first, then the strawberries and then and only then did I eat the rest of the salad. 

The dogs got a slice of strawberry with a sprinkle of almonds.

More french cheese (yup, I bought more than brie) on the horizon...
