FRIDAY BREAKFAST IN BED.....

THIS painting is titled BREAKFAST IN BED by Mary Stevenson Cassatt
(May 22, 1844 � June 14, 1926) Despite her family's objections to her becoming a professional artist, she began studying painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1861-1865). She decided to study the old masters on her own and in 1866 she moved to Paris.

REMEMBER ??

A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I PROMISED Y.O.U.

BREAKFAST IN BED....

SO...

lets get started....

*

SWEET GOLLUM is once again hosting this

FABULOUS FOODIE FRIDAY....

Our thanks to her for doing this fun event. Be sure to

go over and tell her so, and leave sweet words for her.

There will be so many goodies out in Blogland today.....

visit them all, if you can and I can PROMISE that

you will go away HUNGRY !!
Thank you very much for stopping by my place today !

* I AM SO IN LOVE FOODIE FRIDAY...
It is so much fun getting all ready for it !

As all of you know, I am NO gourmet cook....I surely wish I could be........just like GOLLUM *sigh...
But, alas, my cooking was learned from my mother and my Aunt Lillian and while both

were fabulous cooks, nothing fancy ever came out of their kitchen.

Hence, being the off-spring, I produce nothing very fancy, either...*heavy sigh.....
*

Just plain, down-home cooking that Mr. Sweet Nothings and our children have

always seemed to appreciate and love....'course, it was either that or STARVE !! ;>)

*

I plan to learn to prepare some PRETTY foods someday, though...

and then, I will SHOW IT ON

FOODIE FRIDAY....

but, please, because I love you dearly,

DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH !!

I"m afraid RED BEANS and CORNBREAD ;

just plain, ole country cookin',

is just in my blood !!

NOW...are you ready to start your "in the bed' breakfast ??

Let's start the morning with a DELICIOUS, FULL-BODIED cup of the best coffee in the world...

DUNKIN DONUT COFFEE...

If you've not tried this brand before, PLEASE give it a go...

It is just delicious !!

I like plenty of flavor from my coffee but I don't care for a STRONG coffee...

this one......just right !

*

I have the simple but very tasty breakfast all ready for you....

while I get it on the plate,

just cuddle down in that warm, soft bed, drift back off to sleep,

finish that wonderful dream....do you smell the LAVENDER I sprinkled

on your comfy pillow ?

*

I'll be serving your

BREAKFAST IN BED

on my vintage, wicker bed tray....

*

KNOCK KNOCK.......Pssssst.....are you awake yet ?

The sun is beginning to stream through the windows

and it looks like it is going to be a GLORIOUS day out here

in WEST TEXAS.....
*

I made fresh BISCUITS this morning...

and crispy fried BACON.

Oh, and there's

Julienne SWEET POTATO FRIES...ummm, oh, so delicious.

They aren't fried but cooked in the oven for a healthier fare.

And, jelly.....with biscuits there should ALWAYS be JELLY..

this morning it is PEACH ...I hope you like peaches!
*

In case you are wondering, "Where are the eggs?".....

Unless I am FORCED, and that means if a knife is held at my throat or a

bad boy gun aimed at between my brown eyes...

I DON'T DO EGGS...!!!!

no siree....

If Mr. Sweet Nothings wants an egg in the mornings, he poaches

one in the microwave....they are just not my thing...NOPE...don't do windows

and don't do EGGS...

ok...i do windows !

*

HOWEVER, if you REALLY, REALLY want an egg...I'd be happy to

see if MR. SWEET NOTHINGS will cook one for you !! ;O)
*

I have your little tiny vintage glass full of fresh ORANGE JUICE...

a bowl of fresh, red STRAWBERRIES, drizzled with CHOCOLATE and

your morning paper...!
*

Are you ready for another cup of that

great coffee.....?

Allow me.....in fact, I'll just sit down here

on the side of the bed and have a cup with you !!

Oh, and by the way, have you ever had the pure pleasure

of a dollop of VANILLA BEAN ICE CREME in your

hot cup of coffee ??

Oh! HONEY

*

Do you see that I covered you with my beautiful

RED AND WHITE QUILT

from FRANCE ?

*

OOOO, OK....it REALLY is from

J.C. PENNEY'S but it is just as beautiful as if it

WERE from France...

and Mr. SWEET calls it

jc pen'nay....*giggle

*

You must be

VERY special for me to let you use my

favorite quilt in the whole wide world...

and.....YOU ARE !!

VERY, VERY SPECIAL !
*

I do hope you enjoyed your

BREAKFAST IN BED

here at SWEET NOTHINGS COTTAGE....

I know I sure enjoyed you being here...

PLEASE come again....

ANY TIME !!
**

The coffee is ALWAYS on, my blue and white dishes are always ready

and I can put fresh sheets on the bed in an instants notice....

ALL FOR YOU !
