last weekend at Farmer's Market

Visiting the (now) fortnightly Farmer's Market has always been on my list but i've never really gave it a go, up until last weekend. Definitely the best morning i've had in a really long time. Breakfast + sampling almost everything they had there. The discovery of Spanish tortas is delightful & so is sampling cheeses as you make your rounds.

Enjoyed lovely little chats with these passionate vendors about their products, hometown, going organic and all that jazz. Learnt much, had fun & will definitely head down more often. Not your average market place & a break from your regular Cold Storage hits. Go!

More info on Farmer's Market & the idea behind it.

RETURN of the breakfast adventures

Sharing a breakfast recipe this gorgeous morning. Been dreaming about the return of my breakfast adventures, of late. Time is limited when you're busy adjusting & readjusting to different arrangements you've made for yourself to balance all that's on your plate, the best you possibly can. I'm happy to report, however, that i think i might have nailed it. Hence, i'll be elated to wake up early this weekend morning to cook up a storm in the kitchen for breakfast & share them with you. Only hoping for now!

Wishing you lovely folks a dandy week ahead!

In the meantime, enjoy this mouth-watering Baked Eggs recipe from my newly added favourite blog, What Katie Ate.
p.s how stunning are her pictures & food styling?

blueberry mornings

Good morning! Getting in touch with my little hobby again now that i've gotten hold of a 'working' camera. Coffee + blueberry muffin!

Have a happy weekend! xx

breakfast with you all over again

Remember my breakfast posts? I thought this place can't do without it. So yesterday, it was waffles with strawberry, blueberry and bananas.

Days are looking better for me and i wish the same for you. I tweeted that that's how it's going to be if you have faith. Truly, it's not okay to feel like you're walking on eggshells. I'm a pessimist, a natural. If you're anything like me you're in for trouble. So take faith with you, it's all you've got.

Now let's roll.

just to let you know..

I am back and sticking around this time! To celebrate, posting what rocks my world and makes me happy, my breakfast.
This was to be put up weeks ago but here it is now: Raisin scone, strawberry jam, EBT.

And for a startling update, Jennifer from Simply Breakfast is still posting! Take a minute and have a peek at the new shots from Paris (if you love food and more so breakfast, just the way i do).

Enjoying the luxury of sleep at the moment, 3 months worth. Readjusting back into my old life is as overwhelming as it is with the former work schedule. For a start, oh god, all the errands to run. Most of which i must say are so very urgent because i never found the time to attend to them during those hectic months.

Probably a third of the people i love, miss, wants to see and catch up with have already made dates with me and it's scattered all over the month. I also owe birthday dates with the April babies and now just about to get round planning for mine.. and Yas. And i don't have to remind you about my working on that uni admission, almost a wrap but not quite yet.

May is a handful. Could've been easier if i was willing to compromise my hours of sleep so i'm prepared to work around it. Not complaining.

Ahh.. Gleefully blogging.

Good morning, blog pals. You've been missed.

more of yesterday

Only because it is Tuesday, the start of another busy day..
Breakfast: Sunflower-wheat bread and butter, english breakfast tea, fruit bowl of apples and bananas.

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends.

my new year's morning

My new year's big breakfast: Turkey bacon and butterhead on multi-grain, sausage, scrambled eggs.

Goodbye simply breakfast (officially)!

all things breakfast

Remember the blog i featured called Simply Breakfast? Well, it's sad but Jen (the blogger and photographer) is putting an end to it by this year. So we'll have to bid it goodbye and enjoy what's left of it before the arrival of '09. However, she's not leaving just like that. Jen's releasing her second book. You can have a preview of it here and read her farewell post here. I'm going to make sure that i have a copy for myself.

Just the other day, i had an 'amibitiously planned' day (I'm sorry we're doing a few 'recalls' this time round). That morning, i missed out on breakfast and the run altogether because what wasn't surprising happened and happens all the time, i woke up a quarter to noon and rushed out to grab lunch with Yuki and Sue.

En route, I was still feeling like breakfast and hoping they'd pick a spot where there's at least a sandwich. Just to give in to that crave. So we were headed for Cedele. I've never been there so while my eyes were darting all over the menu, i learnt that..

They've an ALL DAY BREAKFAST MENU. Hallelujah.

So if you're looking to have breakfast at dinner (please tell me i'm not the only one), this is my suggestion for you.

p.s Here's hoping you enjoyed the cold afternoon, i spent most of it snuggling in bed, napping and keeping warm.

making pancakes!

Hot pancakes for brunch on a cool and pretty noon. Enjoy the weather while it lasts, lovelies.

a little under the weather

I'm not feeling too well again, sweethearts. Is it me? Could it be the weather?

Whichever, I just hope to wake up to a cup of hot barley and a generous bowl of Quaker oatmeal, which is my favourite. Note to self: not too generous a bowl please.

Hope you're well wherever you are, my dears. See you on the morrow.

my simple last week

T'was a brilliant week and i wanted to share it with you! Because i mentioned breakfast here, thought i'd photograph some of my own. As a matter of fact, I'm beginning to get the hang of it.

And! My successful chicken stew with lots of herbs, especially Oregano (just because it smells really good).

Too much Starbucks and excellent conversations all of last week.

They say the simple things in life are the best. I now realise they weren't kidding. Enjoy your breakfast!

Simply Breakfast

I didn't have much sleep yet i'm wide awake now. That's alright for today because i am dreaming of breakfast this morning. I haven't had breakfast for awhile now, just because i go to bed when it's served. It's not even funny anymore. What do you intend to have, guys? I thought of McDonald's hotcakes and sausage meal or a home-made plateful of american or perhaps, whatever i can get my hands on and dirty in the fridge. To think of it, breakfast has always been my favourite meal. Not that i have solid reasoning for that but I've a strange feeling it's probably how they're always so pretty (if you want them to be). I chanced upon this wonderful blog: Simply Breakfast (pictures are from here), some months ago and i've been in love since. Who knew? It's an art from another perspective. Don't refrain from drooling.

Fresh berries in cereal, freshly brewed coffee, cheese omelette, pancakes and a generous spread of magarine, sunny side up and toasts, cheese-dogs.........

I asked Salina over to have breakfast with me this morning but since we never got down to the details, i should let her have her sleep. Besides, we're both going to be working on a birthday girl who wants to get her hair and make-up done this afternoon. More on that next time.

p.s Blogs like this inspires me to rise early and live healthier, everyday. I just need to try much harder. You know, it's a long and often challenging process to continuously better yourself but you should never give up for the sake of you.

I hope you fixed yourself a good breakfast, beautiful people. And good morning!
