.love the giver.
a sweet friend recently gifted me this cup
and i so appreciate her thoughtfulness.
it's all fancy and held my afternoon
liquid life perfectly.
.love the giver.
not the greatest picture but golly it was delish.
into the cast iron went a pat of bacon grease..
diced bell peppers, onion and crumbled bacon
jumped in to join the party then eggs,
s&p, dried parsley and a good pinch of
red pepper flakes. yUm.
a small piece of rustic bread,
and a restaurant-ware mug of liquid life.
excellent start to my day.
snow, rain, wind, chill.
"Minimize the amount of news you are exposed to.
We ought to guard the quiet of our minds...
We do not need to know everything..
Quiet news and peaceful happenings bring cheer.
Let us bring cheer to our homes and not spread distressing troubles."

I love that quote by Mrs. White! "Guard the quiet of our minds . . . " Leaving much space for eternal truth . . . without being an ostrich.

i re-read Cheryl's comment and love the additional wisdom she imparts... like you as well. :) a little secret... sometimes the meals aren't worthy of a yum. seriously. i'm normal. or. abby-something.
DeleteMrs. White's statement is a very good one.
ReplyDeletelet's purpose to devote ample time to kinder/softer aspects of life.
DeleteI love Mrs. White’s blog and I have almost all of her books too. I really like what Cheryl added too.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to always put such thought and effort into your meals!

you have a well curated personal library, michele.
Deleteas to food... i love good food - life's too short otherwise. wink. adding a tablespoon here and there of veg and herbs brings eggs to a new level. plated well with a crust of bread makes a morning meal seem lovelier. and tastier.
