Served to perfection

I was driving home from buying some grocerieswhen I heard that today was National Cereal Day. Great
I thought, because I knew I wouldn't have time today
to do any new work, but I thought this painting
would be perfect.
My favourite breakfast (and I'm not sure it's cereal)
is oatmeal that I make in a pot. I love the way
hotels serve oatmeal with berries. When you stay in
a hotel that understand the beauty of a room service
breakfast, it's hard to imagine anything more
romantic.
For Valentine's Day, belated because of health
issues in my family, I had breakfast overlooking
the Byward Market in Ottawa. The waiter
set up the table. There were real silver utensils,
and beautifully pressed cloth napkins (white),
with a white tablecloth. Large water glasses
filled with ice, and of course a hearty full
classic breakfast for my husband.

The Market was iced in snow about two feetthick, and even that looked romantic.
Have an enjoying-National-Cereal-Day day.
Mmmm - I love oatmeal also, my favourite being the scotch cut type. This is a beautiful painting with the touches of red and the blue berries.
ReplyDeleteThank you Evelyn,
ReplyDeleteIt is deliciously filling, especially as I have not eaten flour or sugar for more
than a year. That is my breakfast of choice. And in a hotel -- so beautifully
served, and sometimes with such ceremony. I love watching the room
service person set everything out just so.
