Bikes, and Breakfast for One




This morning called for some rallying to get me on my bike and out the door to pick up the Touareg (yay, it's fixed!!).  I huffed it up some rolling hills and froze my ears off, but it was a pretty exhilarating way to start the day!
Cars are much faster but bikes make you feel better.
Once home, and Matt out the door to work, I started cooking up some awesome breakfast for one:  Two eggs over medium with dashes of basil and garlic with sourdough toast and lingonberry jam (thanks, Ikea!).  Of course, coffee on the side is a daily must.


I hope the car doesn't break down again anytime soon, but it was a great reminder that I'm a true biker at heart.  I spent a lot of time behind the handlebars as a kid.  My dad would have me and my sister riding with him to the swimming pool to swim, the store for treats, even to a haunted house in the dark (I advise against this for small children, I was scared to death on the way home!).

Well, cheers:  To keeping up good bike habits!

Think Happy Thoughts

I've been reminded that today is the day that, seven years ago, my Mother passed.  Instead of dwelling on the unchangeable, I thought I would mention some happy things, because after all, it is spring and I'm not as mad at the flowers for blooming as I used to be this time of year.
The planters are planted..and pretty
The Touareg is in the shop, so I got the challenge of carrying potting soil home on the back of my little road bike.  Pretty talented, eh?
Much deserved dinner and desert fondue

After a delicious day of biking, tennis (my serve was HOT, and I have the sunburn to prove it), and planting flowers, Matt and I spoiled ourselves with fondue (again).  If I hadn't mentioned it before, the go-to fondue cookbook at our house is Not Your Mother's Fondue, by Hallie Harron.

Happy Easter, all.
