Everywhere you go.
Sipping French Vanilla coffee and catching up with e-mail.
And this year promises to be "The Year of The Kindle" for my bunch as well. For Lennon and Angie's Birthdays and accessories/e-books for Christmas...and have it on good authority that Santa is slipping one in my stocking (via Chris) as well preloaded with one of my favorite classics:
Steinbeck's: The Grapes of Wrath.
Of course, it will never replace books, for me. Or libraries with their heavy oak tables and leaded glass windows...and contemplative silence. It is no competition for my favorite used book store with rows and rows and the smell of leather and foxed paper and a ceramic mug of coffee...dreaming away an afternoon. And it will certainly not replace my small personal library at home...the Vonneguts...The Hunter S. Thompsons...The Prisigs...The Moores...
...still...
It will allow me to slip a virtual library in my purse to read- anywhere. It will be wonderful for travel...no more heavy books in the ruck-sack! So here I go...slipping further and further into the 21st Century.
And I am quite looking forward to it!
Completed the Acrylic Abstract last night. A subtle blend of Kandinsky and Jackson Pollack...vindicating Andy Warhol. A Kanned-Pollack. Which sounds a lot like a Hungarian Treat or something you might feed a penguin. Waiting for it to dry. It has been a lot of fun.
This morning's breakfast brought to you by Pintrest...the recipe of the week! Saw it...had all the ingredients on hand...tried it...amazed!
Not your parent's Potato Pancakes!
Amazing Potato Pancakes
These are a meal in themselves...
Mix 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes...and yes...instant is fine...with 2 eggs...1 tablespoon butter, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1 tablespoon sour cream, 1 teaspoon dried minced onion, 3 slices crumbled bacon (pre-cooked) and a dash of salt and coarse ground pepper. and shape into patties.
Butter a non-stick skillet and fry until lightly brown turning once.
(...to make them even extra amazing drizzle with cheddar cheese sauce and sprinkle top with bacon crumbles to serve...can also dollop with sour cream and chives... )
Great with fresh fruit, scrambled eggs and juice.
Enjoy!
