Your Sunday morning coffee

That WAS a nice thing to do. I'll bet you all cried a little bit.

with Mom and also gets up at the crack of dawn had the rolls ready
when we arrived. That was lovely.

My dad always got up at the crack of dawn (farm-boy training) and on
Sundays this resulted in the smell of coffee and homemade cinnamon
rolls (with butterscotch frosting) pervading the house before the
rest of us woke up. When I left home for college, Sundays were very
disorienting without that smell.

You have him well-trained! LOL
Actually, my father always cooked SUnday dinner. We would go to
Mass - my mother and siblings - and Daddy would stay home and
cook. It was wonderful!

Yeah, I worked today. It was actually quite busy, but I still
managed to crochet a ball of Devine into a scarf for DD #2's new
jacket:)

DD has cooked Sunday breakfast for most of our married life. It's
always been my day:)



You are working today, Trish?
I'm glad to hear that your DH cooks SUnday breakfast. I wish I
could get Keith to do it! g

It is very nice though...I do love a sitdown breakfast with eveyone
around the table nattering and laughing.

We did have a big Sunday morning breakfast when I was a little girl.
My dad would yell upstairs, each and every Sunday..."how do you guys
want your eggs done (just after the war eggs were a very special
treat), Then when we all trouped down (5 of us) we would find that
he had fried all the eggs and always with little burned edges.
When we complained he would mummble under his breath and we all
would happely sit down and have our breakfast burned eggs and all,
to have it all repeated the next Sunday.....(laughing, about a
wonderful memory)

LOL

Katherine

Well I do find it funny now, but we usually asked for a variety of
different cooked eggs. I always wanted a soft boiled one......he did
not even come close.....

But at least he asked! Maybe he planned to do them the way you asked, but
found out that his way worked best for him. g

Oh yes my Dad did ask, he maybe was daydreaming.....LOL My Dad was
otherwise a very good cook and did a lot of cooking....maybe eggs were a
bit boring...who knows

Sounds yummy O, do you think a little fondle first might be in
order, and
then you'd be really fired up. What stitch pattern are you
planning?

yers I am fondling already, it is sooooooo soft. I think it will
be a plain garter stitch 'cos the wool is nice and fluffy I say
dear, you are
really pulling me into this thing)) What with you and Els I can
see it finished soon)

Good for you, I can feel the soft wool. Just go slowly and enjoy
the feel of the yarn.

Thank you dear Els

ANd do let us know how it goes. We are all pulling for you.

I will

My DH does weekend breakfasts, too, and he thinks I don't fry bacon as
well as he does, so that lets me off the hook!

Good for you....I do wonder if the guys realize they are shooting
themselves in their feet.....when they come out with these
statements...LOL

*lol* Apparently I don't pack boxes properly, and I tape them up all wrong.
Hooray!

Katherine, here I am ahead a little, Otto now a days cooks the
breakfasts....he thinks that he is better at making porridge than I
am. I got him by the??, and told him that I did agree whole heartly.
So he now makes a great breakfasts and on Sunday morning a soft
boiled egg as well.

Lucky me, here is a husband that is strickt in the devision of labour
in his marriage.....(grinning)

I love it! Keith does the dishes, and I cook, but once in a while, it would
be nice to swap.

Katherine


Yes, I love it when someone else cooks for me. This Christmas the whole
gang is going to be here. It will be crazy busy, but I know for sure that
I do not have to do a lot of cooking. Oma most likely will be pooped at
the end of the day, I am going to use every excuse in the book...so I do
not have to cook a meal for 7 adults and two little ones......LOL

Els


Good heavens, Els, surely those other five adults can handle the
cooking! (Those that aren't taking turns watching the babies, I mean
I'd be kicked out of my mother's house pretty quickly if I walked in and
sat down and expected to be served a meal that I didn't help with!
You and Otto ensconce yourselves in armchairs and play with your little
ones and issue directions to the kitchen...or wait for them to tell you
when dinner is ready.

Yep! Although, fair's fair, he really DOESN"T load the dishwasher
right.

This reminds me irresistibly of the wonderful columnist Calvin Trillin's
essay about his only dish: Scrambled Eggs That Always Stick To The Pan.

Oh Els! Your Dad sounds like mine!:)

He has me very spoiled too, I know(LOL)


My DH does breakfast because he grew up in a family where everyone
gathered at the dining room table, set with "real" dinnerware and cloth
napkins, and had breakfast made and served by his mother. I, OTOH, come
from a much larger family with an early-bird dad, who always got us up
for school and saw that we ate, but he let us wander into the kitchen at
our own pace and eat things like last night's warmed-up stew, or toast
dipped in broth, or pumpkin pie, while Mom tended to the baby (there was
always a baby -- DH finally realized I was never going to cook a big
sit-down breakfast, so he took that over (on weekends or when we have
guests).

It is very nice though...I do love a sitdown breakfast with eveyone around
the table nattering and laughing.

We did have a big Sunday morning breakfast when I was a little girl. My
dad would yell upstairs, each and every Sunday..."how do you guys want
