Breakfast Friday 9 February 2024

[DFW]

1. I have an excuse for the following:

I had to run down to Spain yesterday, and the evening flight back up here leaves at 7:30 PM and gets in at 9:30, when it‘s on time, which is never. Yesterday was worse than usual, and it was 1 AM before I got home. My wife asked if I wanted her to make me something, and I told her to just get some sleep.

She said that as a reward, I would get a gourmet breakfast. So:

Fresh-squeezed juice from Valencia blood oranges

Two kinds of bread with Brie from France, soft goat‘s cheese from Catalunya, and Muenster cheese from Wisconsin. Cajun spiced sautéed potatoes, tangerines and dried cranberries, as well as a small bowl of Müssli and black tea sweetened Russian style with apricot preserves.

That I don‘t weigh 400 pounds is a miracle yet to be fully explained by modern medicine.
