Ann, those eggs are so cute. Might have to make some this weekend.

What are the eyes made from?

Pieces of black olive . . .

[stacyw]

You know, I had been wondering about this since you posted the pic. Raisins didn't sound appetizing and peppercorns would be too spicy and then today while driving I was thinking - black olives! Yes, that would work. And then I saw your answer .

[kbobam]

Here's a black olive concept I think the world should know.

Tunafish. Sliced or chopped black olives on top take a

tunafish sandwich or sub to a whole new level of ecstasy.

A little provolone doesn't hurt either.

Just thought of something. Was thinking at first that

Stacy was worrying too much about whether the eye

material would clash taste-wise, since it's such a small part.

I was dead wrong. Remembered that eggs Benedict

absolutely requires a couple olive slices as a garnish.

Doesn't have much taste effect overall.

But of course it still needs to blend in well. ( :

Black olives on the tuna sub makes perfect sense to me - Salad nicoise on a bun! And provolone is a must on any sub in my book.

As for the Eggs Benedict -yum. On any trip to a diner, morning, noon or night, that's what I am most likely to order.

[kbobam]

I'm with you! If it's on the menu, I'll most likely get it.

Went to a Denny's 20 or so years ago, and was thrilled to see

they had eggs Benedict. The rest of it's all a blur, but I remember

at one point the manager was explaining to me that it was served with

their 'Special Cheese Sauce'.

[kbobam]

Okay, this is a little off-topic, but since 'The Dollar Tree' has

already been mentioned, wanted to mention this as well.

Lately they've had 64 oz. sizes of 'Awesome' laundry detergent.

This has always been great stuff and a real bargain in the

usual 48 oz. size. So this is, well, awesome. ( :

pacific northwest food...start with some chantrelle mushrooms.... then some fresh clams and dungeness crabs... and maybe some salmon..

.

[lstmmrbls]

Can't believe you didn't box up some of those shrooms for a trip to Vallejo(LOL)

[kbobam]

Thanks for bringing back the 'regional food' thing!

It all looks and sounds great! Wish I could eat the mushrooms,

but it's my one food allergy and a real humdinger.

What's the new marble? Looks terrific,

but can't see it well in the small picture. ( :

[stacyw]

Love the cat and salmon pic. And I hope he got some - the poor kitty looks like he could use a good meal.

[zaboo]

If we get another good score this next fall, I will send you some Galen! yep kitty got some. he gets anything he wants... always, just like the dog! lol he does look kinda funny there, it's the shadows. he was in the process of losing the winter coat. Norwegian forest cats only shed twice a year. so he looks patchy, and somewhat multi colored. here's a better picture.. avatar picture steph? blue and green alley with aventurine.

picture of summer fur and levi winter fur.. he's a puddin.

[Steph]

My thought when I saw the first pic was he looks like he enjoys the benefit of moving around more than my kitties do.

[stacyw]

Awww, he's a sweetie! Norwegians and Maine Coons are such mushes. We have one now who sheds his whole coat in the Spring too. He does not even look like the same cat before and after. Thanks for the cute pictures.

[zaboo]

lol steph. Levi can fly, i swear. I have seen him about 3 feet off the ground on the run after a bird or whatever. only saw this huge gray streak go acorss the living room window!

yep he's a mush too stacy! about the best cat we have ever had. crazy about cat nip too. but only a certain kind. spoied? I think so...

[ausman]

Good looking cats Dani! The food looks good too; but I like my lobsters and "Hens of the woods mushrooms"!! LOL! My Maine coon cat, Baby likes lobster, too! She also can fly and run up an eight foot verticle wall!

[zaboo]

they are really amazing. that kitty looks like a 'puddin' too. lol

[kbobam]

Here's a split-second moment from a British sitcom,

which shows what someone was eating for breakfast.

After studying it for a while, it doesn't look bad.

But it's funny how there was an immediate reaction

of American "WTH?". Beans and hunks of tomato

just seem a bit unusual. And the toast looks good,

but I'm not sure exactly what they've done with it.

Personally, as much as I like most of our standard

breakfast stuff, I'd rather have it at some other

point in the day. If I could have my way first thing

in the morning, I'd take a more Asian approach and

have some noodle soup with crabmeat and a

hardboiled egg in it. ( :

[zaboo]

bob have you ever had japanese crab and egg soup? OMG the best! huge chunks of king crab, in an egg soup base with fresh bamboo, sliced mushroms and topped with sliced green onions.. now that would be a great breakfast! LOL!

[kbobam]

Sounds pretty awesome.

And let me join the group who thinks you have a real cool cat!

[zaboo]

lol thanks. spent some time in japan when I was MUCH younger. loved it there and the food... up North though, not in the over populated areas. beautiful country. wonderful food! and the cats there are sure are different looking! they have long toes! almost like short fingers. very weird.

[stacyw]

The British " beans and tomato" for breakfast thing is a bit weird at first, but after you are there a few days, you realize that you had better develop a taste for it because it's the best meal you will get all day. And it's not bad when you get used to it.

And Zaboo that's cool that Japanese cats are different! I remember that on a visit to Russia ( 30+years ago) the cats looked different there too - longer ears.
