I love mornings. Anytime before 10am is my favorite time of day. Even during the summer, I usually don’t sleep in past 7am. I like the light, the temperature, the radio talk shows, the breakfast…the possibilities! This morning, one of my kitties woke me up wanting to be petted at 6:45am. I got up, got the animals fed (sometimes I feel like we live on a farm: 2 cats, 1 puppy) and made a chicken sandwich for Meeker’s lunch. Then I did about 20 minutes of Pilates and decided to walk to one of my favorite coffee places – Kunjani – for a latte. I took Punky (the puppy) – which was kind of hectic – because I am trying my hardest to socialize her, but she is full of life. The people at Kunjani are oh so friendly and were so considerate and helpful as I tried to keep the beast calm. They even brought my latte outside for me as I was trying to keep her subdued and quiet. A big “thank you” to the employees there.
Here is a picture of the dog and the latte on the walk back:
When we got back, I sat on our back deck and enjoyed the coffee.
Then I came inside and made myself a yummy egg for breakfast – which I ate with a tiny bit of wilted spinach.
After polishing this off in about 45 seconds, I watched the Rachael Ray Show – which I do almost every day in the summer. On today’s show, she was making a brunch extravaganza. I reaaaaaally enjoy a big, over-the-top brunch, and cannot wait for the next time I have an excuse to pull one together. (Hey friends/family, come for a morning visit and I promise you will not leave hungry!)
Food! Food! Food! I want to be a teacher who can walk to the coffee shop in the summer … I like your blog, keep it up.
I think our family should start a restaurant with all the cooks around.
So the girls will get one of your signature meals this weekend when they stay with you (reminds me of dad always having something on hand to feed anyone when they visit).
I heard that Lucille’s in Denver has good bfast.

Thanks for reading! Hooray! I am so excited about this – I think I am going to make a point to focus on how food has the ability to bring people/family together. I really like that about our family – there is always food. Always something to gather around. Anyway, I can’t wait for the kiddos to stay with us this weekend – we will have to do some cooking!
Also – Lucille’s is FANTASTIC! I haven’t been to the one in Denver, but there is one in Boulder that I have been to many times. It has the best creole food – mmm grits for breakfast. You all should come up and we can give it a try.
