~The Breakfast Hours~

Black coffee.

Mullein (commonly known as lungwort, flannel flower, velvet leaf, blanket herb), smoked in my little onyx pipe

Werther’s Original toffees
(six by the time I realize how many)

Barney’s leftover scrambled eggs

~Lunch~

Greek salad

Lentil-herb soup

Three kinds of starch: toasted rye bread, whole wheat bread, and a baking powder biscuit. Leftovers queen.

I have abandoned chopping for casseroles, the stirring of sauces, and sauteeing for soups. I rarely bother with gravy. The chicken I cooked yesterday was thrown into a pot with a bit of celery, onion, herbs and peppercorns, and boiled in water.

"Keep It Simple, Silly."

My new kitchen motto.
