#DivineFriday: A New Dawn

Greetings!

Congratulations on making it through another work week! Its Divine Friday so let's have some fun. How does Divine Friday work, Sparkle? Through the week, I try to find The Divine in my everyday life and take a picture. I choose which one I think is the best and I share it here with you guys! I post it on my Instagram and Pinterest using the hashtag #DivineFriday. You should join in the fun too! Just snap a shot of whatever made you smile this week and share it on your Instagram or whatever social media of your choosing. Sounds easy, right? :)

There is just something about the morning time that's refreshing! I love waking up early in the morning (not that I do it all that often on my days off) and knowing that there's a clean slate of a day just waiting on me to enjoy. Plus there is a quietness in the morning that I just really like. I think if you listen well enough, you can hear Mother Nature waking up. :o) I like sitting outside just after the sun comes up, before there are people and car noises that start. It's very peaceful.

Plus.. Morning time has the best food!

Pancakes..
Sausage..
Waffles..
Scrambled Eggs..
Ham..
Breakfast Rice..
Grits..
Country Fried Steak..
French Toast..


Come on son! You can't deny breakfast is the best.. Okay, I know I just went on a food tangent so back on subject. :) So, if you haven't guessed by now, today's picture is of the sunrise. I saw it while I  was driving *cough* I mean.. riding down the street on the way to work. I always find The Divine in the sunrise.  What did you find The Divine in this week?

The Saturday Short

Greetings friends!!

It's been what feels like a long week, after having two short work weeks in a row. I love waking up on Saturday mornings, knowing that the day is new and filled with possibilities.  

Although I've been a slacker lately... I've gotten my workout in for the day and now it's time to a cup of tea, a little breakfast, and then it's off to the range and to anywhere else The Boo and I see fit. There are a lot of movies out that we what to check out. I see a large dark room, with many seats, and movie popcorn in my future. What are you up to today?


Ciao!

Greetings friends! 

The Boo and I are out and about early today. Had a waffle or two at a 'new' place in midtown.. The morning is loving us with its sunrays and joy. The kind of morning where you ride with all the windows down and can't believe life is so good.

We're off to a festival now, which I'm sure will be filled with smiling crowds,  laughter,  and mysterious crafts that I will be tempted to buy.  I love a good festival, don't you? I have such good memories in my childhood of going to them.

What are you doing today?

Ciao!

Food Adventure #32

Greetings friends! 

I must admit something... Although I've eaten at and experienced the goodness of Waffle House, I've never had Huddle House. This past weekend though, I had the opportunity to give it a go! Oddly enough, I've really only seen Huddle House when driving to the North (and when I say north I mean Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio, because they're north of me) but to my surprise they serve 'Southern' food.  

I'm quite the breakfast addict, and I'd always heard that Huddle House was just like Waffle House, but better, so I was curious to see how they stacked up against each other. 

I got the smothered southern breakfast of sorts. Can't remember the official name at the moment, but it was a biscuit topped with sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs, cheese, and white sausage gravy. Er... The gravy was white. Not the sausage. ;) I don't really mess with white gravy too tough, but I felt like living life on the edge that day and figured why not? 

Looks pretty good, right? The biscuit alone was glorious, so I was very happy with my choice. The Boo's breakfast involved a waffle, so I was anxious to see how it tasted. Now.. I used to be a sceptic about how good the Waffle House waffle really is. That is until I tried it and realized that NOBODY can beat the yummy gloriousness that is the Waffle House waffle. I'm sad to report that the Huddle House waffle wasn't even in the running. There was no yummy goodness to be found and the waffle was cold. I may as well have been eating a hotel continental breakfast waffle that had the taste level slightly above cardboard... Okay maybe I exaggerate a little here, but it just wasn't good. Lol. 

My smothered biscuit part was pretty awesome though. I was kind impressed at the extensive menu that Huddle House had, but for now Waffle House still lives as number one in my heart! 

Who do you like better? Let me know.. :)

Ciao! 

My Picture Sunday

Greeting all!

 

I thought I would do something different today and show you my Sunday in pictures. It starts out with breakfast at J. Christopher's, then to the mall and a few of the favorite things that I saw and liked. Enjoy! :)

Sunday Brunch

Breakfast is the best meal of the day and not just because people say that its the most important meal. Think about it.. it has the best tasting foods, you eat it at at great time of the day, and generally it has the easiest foods to cook. In the picture about we have a sausage omelet with onions and cheese, hash browns with green peppers, and garlic crescent rolls. It was delicious!

This morning for breakfast I made scrambled eggs with American cheese, turkey smoked sausage, and bananas with cherry limeade to drink. I like to cut up my bananas because they are more fun it eat that way :) Its kinda gross to me to eat them whole because they seem super slimy. Yuck! Btw.. sorry about the picture being fuzzy.

I'll probably be back with a picture for lunch. Ciao!!
