Home alone and loving it

Being the oldest of seven children, growing up it was a rare event to be alone at home. Today the Maritimes are being hit with a snowstorm and both my husband and brother are out of town. And I have the house all to myself………at least until this afternoon.

I’m an early riser even on the weekends. So finding myself alone on this stormy morning, I did what I like the best. I made breakfast and took it back to bed.  For me it has to be the whole meal deal.  On the tray I bought on Marken Island near Amsterdam years ago, I placed poached eggs, whole wheat toast, pumpkin preserves and my favourite big mug full of tea.  This  makes the perfect breakfast in bed meal, especially when you add the latest issue of Mother Earth News and Connecting Threads. CBC Maritime Morning played softly in the background. Life is good.

Now back to reality.  The soup is simmering on the stove (chicken and rice for this storm).  The turkey is ready for the oven.  Applesauce sauce, cranberry relish and potato stuffing for tonight’s dinner need to be cooked.  I’m happy I don’t sleep in late.
