Good Morning Sunshine!



One of my favorite ways to eat zucchini is sliced into disks and lightly sauté in butter with scrambled eggs. This morning I chopped up some blossoms and sauté them too and finished the plate with a sprinkle of some freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top. 

Hairy beast!

First Decision Of The Day

Usually begins with what cup do I want my coffee in, or what shall I be today? A cow, a horse, a sheep, or a pig? Whoa Nellie for those of you who think I have a self-esteem problem. As a matter of fact, I think quite highly of myself. I blog after all. More than one too. And what's the big deal of starting your day as an animal? (psst you already do.)
  
These mugs represent my country collection of perfection.  I pick the horse when I have gallop through the day, often drinking only one mug of super-charged jet fuel.  I like the pig on days like today - cloudy and cold yet happy and mellow. The cow, well being a Taurus, I happen to think cows are pretty darn neat. And having lived on a cattle ranch, I know there is something to Larson's cartoon of cows playing doorbell ditch on the farmer.
  
The Blue Sheep is reserved for special days when I stay home and play with my cat. Si is a water sheep in Chinese astrology.

As you can see, these cups are copyrighted. Little faces and skinny legs are Art. Know that.
Oink! It's time to fry up some bacon.

Corn Muffin Tops

I purchased one of those miniature muffin pans recently. I've always wanted one. The pan is super heavy duty and kind of non-stick but not Teflon. My first round of muffins were cheddar bacon corn muffins from scratch. And they were awful. I don't how I flubbed up the recipe, but I did. And in the trash they went. Too bad I don't have chickens or pigs or a dog, for that matter. I'm sure they would have ate them. Well no matter.
  
My second round, pictured above and below, were from a store bought mix. The package said grease the pan and I swear to you I did, but the muffins still did not want to come out whole. So instead of whole muffins, I have muffin tops and muffin bottoms. And they are quite tasty warmed with a drizzle of maple syrup for breakfast.
