There have been a few lazy mornings for Bill and I ever since the start of the new year. The holiday season is behind us and a little bit of rest was truly needed. We’ve been enjoying simple breakfasts such as scones, eggs, and granola to help us get the day started.
On one occasion, after a late breakfast and a cup of coffee, I turned the computer on and browsed the internet. Not quite sure what prompted me, but I came upon an old favorite 1990 French movie on Youtube, Cyrano de Bergerac directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau. Not realizing the time, I sat and watched the entire movie. Late into the morning, I poured myself another cup of coffee, grabbed some magazines, sat in a comfy chair, and tuned the world out for just a little longer with beautiful music of Mozart and Bocelli. My morning was well spent …doing as little as possible. As for Bill, he was quite content sitting in his favorite place and reading his favorite books as he tried to recover from a cold.

One of the recipes we made for breakfast often was Herbed-Baked Eggs from Ina Garten’s cookbook, Barefoot In Paris. A generous sprinkle of fresh herb mixture over the eggs added a nice flavor to the egg dish and toasted sliced French bread accompanied on the side.
