Waffles are good, pancakes are fine, but french toast is superb!

It's the perfect complement to any breakfast item.

I first had this delicious dish at a neighborhood eatery.

::buttered toast with applesauce::

a go-to quickie meal.

what my dad would make me

whenever I was home, sick, in bed.

::hash browns::

go with any eggy breakfast food.

::crepes with fruit::

so light. so tasty.

::cream of wheat::

I grew up eating hot oatmeal, so

it was a treat whenever my mom switched

to yummy cream of wheat to eat.

::oatmeal with honey::

will forever remind me of breakfasts in Argentina.

It was all we could afford.

::english muffins::

when just toasted bread is not enough.

All those nooks and crannies

filled with melted butter and sweet jam.

Great Things I've Read Lately ::52 Lists::

My Favorite Flowers ::52 Lists Project::

::daisy::

They are every-day-friendly flowers.

Ones you can just pick off the side of the road

and stick in a cupful of water to brighten your day.

::garden rose::

I think of them as antique-looking roses

with their many layers of petals.

They remind me of an era gone by

when flowers really meant something.

::cherry blossom::

My family waited for them to bloom every year.

We would pack ourselves in the station wagon and visit them.

Where I grew up,

"The plantings of cherry trees originated in 1912 as a gift of friendship to the People of the United States from the People of Japan."

So nice of the Japanese people. Thank you.

::gerbera daisy::

I discovered these simple, colorful flowers as a young adult.

They are such happy flowers.

::white roses::

I hadn't thought much of flowers on our wedding day.

We hadn't planned for a reception, so there was no need.

When I finally decided that I might want a bouquet,

I consulted with a local floral designer

and when she quoted the price to me, I'm sure I gasped out loud.

Then I thought I'd just go to the neighborhood florist

and pick up some flowers there. 

No luck.

They decided to close early the day I walked over to their store.

The day of our marriage, we walked out of the Temple

and my 5-year-old niece handed me a bouquet of white roses

that had been tied with white ribbon.

It turns out my sister, directed by my mom,

picked them up on their way to attend our wedding.

::red poppy::

They are not easy flowers to find where I live.

Across the street from where I work,

there are a few that have been planted

and everytime they bloom,

I'm ready with my camera for they don't seem to last very long.

Oh, and have you seen Monet's painting "Red Poppies"?
