Hotto Keki

By special request of Honest Man, we enjoyed delicious stacks of hot-cakes, or Japanese pancakes for breakfast. Unlike American pancakes, it rises more, and has a slight sweet flavor.

Poached Eggs on Cheese Toasts

This was a joint effort with my husband. We both had this Friday off, and it was neither 'weekday' for us or a 'weekend' for us. So, it makes sense, right?

French Toast and the Universe

Sunday morning I woke up thinking about French Toast I can make with the left over Italian bread from food delivery earlier in the week. The bread had sesame seeds on it, but who cares! Three fresh eggs, rice milk, orange zest, cinnamon, a dash of salt, blended. I sliced the stale and almost dry bread into half an inch thickness, and soaked them in the egg mixture for five minutes or so before turning them over to soak some more from the other side. I soaked them longer than usual, that my husband asked me "What's going on with the bread?". My reply was "It's soaking!" I heated one frying pan, thinking it would hold all the toast, but I had to bring out a second pan. While toasting, I made mixed fruit smoothie in our old blender. This blender has been with me since college, and I know it wants to retire soon. Its motor tires much quicker now. I'll be shopping for a new blender with a glass jug, very soon. I think my French Toast came out really good today. When I was plating, I thought, "Darn, I should have made soysages to to go with this", but it was kind of too late. I was really hungry. Slices of butter and maple syrup went on the french toasts as soon as the plates landed on the table. We sat down, turned on the TV to watch my favorite program Sunday Morning Show, on CBS. To our disappointment, it was a complete rerun. Sometimes they mix in new stories with old, that's ok, but this time it was all stories we've already seen, one after the other. Same Sunday never comes again, so really, there should not be any rerun of same Sunday Morning Show. We watched my husband's Sunday morning program This Week with George Stephanopolous. They had some heated conversations at the round table. Very animated today. Then we watched a program on History channel about the Universe, and how it was made. I enjoyed this a lot, seeing how scientists through time have kind of unknowingly been tag teaming knowledge with insights, evidence, and mathematics. Each scientist took an idea to a point, and it took the next scientist to go further. This made me think of our spiritual leaders of our time, how there are much more of them out there now, and they might each hold a key to the grand puzzle of life. And then, we went to the pool.

Quiet Productive Day

It's a grey day out today. Which naturally makes it a quiet day for me. I woke up around 10 a.m., put on my pajamas (I say the rest of the world has it on backwards!) and walked to my computer. It was acting weird, so I restarted it. All was quiet, I was ready to take in the quiet morning light through the dining room window. Then suddenly I heard my husbands footsteps, rushing towards me. He was sound a sleep! What's going on? He wanted to tell me that he messed up my Dashboard yesterday as he explored my mac. He deleted my individual widgets because he could not figure out how to get out of there. OK, that's not a big deal,... but how do I get them back? Well, apparently he learned enough from the mac's online tutorials to show me how to do that. Yay! Now, I have more widgets than my desktop space. Hmm, can I move some widgets to my 2nd and 3rd and 4th desktops? Those working spaces I am still trying to find good use of. This is something I must explore.

I made smoothie and toast for breakfast, as it is my task to make weekend breakfasts. You can see the picture here, and the domestic randomness of this morning. We ate by the couch, then we watched some of our TV shows we like that were recorded. We love DVR.

I sat back in front of my computer. It is now dinner time. I am proud to say I dealt through 300 plus emails sitting in my inbox. It's been accumulated over some time, and was really annoying me and weighed me down. I respond to important email via my iPhone, but there were bunch of news letters, announcements, missed and/or ignored emails in there. All gone, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Time for dinner. Where was my lunch?
