Can you guess what it is? Here are the steps.

MMM! Butter.

But darn butter. It burned on the bottom. Not too bad and breakfast was yummy. 2 eggs, some red bell pepper, heirloom tomato and goat cheese. And a slice of grains galore toast from the Breadery.

I spent most of the day here.

See my Kindle and my computer. Although it was nice, i had some work to do. But at least I could be outside. For lunch I decided to cut up this melon (Only about 7 inches diameter, perfect for just me).

I have never had a yellow watermelon. It was good – not too sweet but yummy. Doesn’t it look like it’s smiling at you.

Now I’m off to Bikram. And then to my dad’s for dinner. Enjoy the rest of your saturday.

So this morning I decided to make Buckwheat waffles. I have some Arrowhead Buckwheat pancake and waffle mix. I mixed it up. I love the way that the buckwheat tastes. I figured I would mix up enough for 4, that is what the recipe says it will make.

So the first ones looked like this – after 10 minutes of cooking.

Not really worth eating and not cooked all the way through. I thought maybe I hadn’t filled the plates with enough. The next batch was a bit better, but took just as long. I decided to eat those while I cooked the last. Covered them with some fig preserves, half a banana, and some slivered almonds. It was yummy.

The last bit made the best waffle of them all. But I ate my whole breakfast and cleaned up the plate before it was finished. (And it wasn’t that I ate it that fast.)

Lesson learned – it may be worth a few extra bucks to get a better iron.

Breakfast this morning was Skir.is strawberry yogurt, with some local home made granola (sorry no pictures). And lunch was a salad with some chicken strips. Nothing exciting. Despite my lack of energy for making dinner, I did put together a dinner that wasn’t too bad. A portabella gardenburger with a salad made from fixins from the farmer’s market (heirloom tomato and spring mix) in addition to half an avocado. With some Annie’s naturals red pepper vinaigrette. It was yummy. Will take more pictures later.

If anyone has any other quick suggestions for meals, please let me know.

This morning I’m blogging from my iPhone. Going to start the day with some oatmeal. I didn’t feel like making the real stuff, and had some Kashi heart to heart golden brown sugar in the pantry. It is a little too sweet, but topped it with some raisins and slivered almonds. Not too bad.

I also decided to use the espresso machine. Made a nice latte. I love this machine. It was a gift from Dad for my new apartment in NYC, and I guess finishing fellowship. It makes good coffee. Well, I’m running late.

I bought some collard greens today at the market. Now, I grew up in Virginia, but we didn’t eat greens that often. But they looked good, and they had no swiss chard, which is what I wanted. So collards it was. Tonight I decided that I wanted to eat them. So I brewed up some ham hock, threw in the collards.

I also had a pork loin in the freezer that I pulled out earlier today. I marinated it in some ginger honey marinade, seared it in the pan and then roasted it in the oven. While I cooked, Fiona wanted to be some groceries.

When it was all finished, I added some brown rice and quinoa from Seeds of Change (90 seconds in the microwave) and dinner was served.

I have decided that I need to eat at the table more, rather than on the sofa. So I set a place, and enjoyed my meal with some wine. Yum.

So here is to documenting my healthy meal for tonight. Now I am off to bed. I am fighting a bit of a sore throat.

So on the knitting front, I picked up to UFO’s the other day, in order to make more order in my life. And I have finished my Irish Hiking Scarf, the I have no idea when I started it.

So I went to a couple of stores and decided in this basic Bernette for Bernina machine. It is just the basics. But I am not sure how much I will like it. Last weekend I picked it up. And it has been on the table awaiting me to have the nerve to sit down and figure it out. So today, I went to Jo Ann Fabrics, bought some scissors, pins and fat quarters and this evening I sat down and figured it out. Here are the goodies.

After I realized I could sew close to a straight line, I decided to make the checkbook cover that is in the book, Weekend Sewing.

Here it is all pinned and ready to be sewn together, then the finished project.

I haven’t put away the needles. But I think that I am going to like this sewing thing.

The birds in the tree out back have been beautiful

If only I knew how I could save the molding on the window.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

But in addition to the birds liking the seed, the cats have enjoyed watching. And today this is how I found Fiona!

Yep, that is not mid air, she is stuck to the window – jumped up and holding onto the panes. I wish I could figure out how to keep her from doing that. But I don’t want to take down the feeder either. She is crazy. Isaac enjoys watching too, but hasn’t tried to jump up. Here she is in waiting:

No knitting to report. but maybe I will get something done today.
