My Winter Morning Breakfast Table, New Mexico Style!
Comments (23)Sorry I haven't responded here in a couple of days. I know you all understand, though. Jeanne, your photo is gorgeous! What a lovely walk that must have been. Oh, and I'll have deviled egg appetizers waiting for you when you get here. I love them, too! I have one of those storyteller candles! I bought it years ago when we were in Taos. That's where they make them. I've never lit it, though, and don't ever plan to. Here she is: PartyMusic: thanks! You're more than welcome to jump on the Holiday Bus and come along for breakfast, too. MM: too funny! I get the same way when I see pics of Huevos Rancheros. Most restaurants out here serve it all day, because so many of us love them anytime. Last night when we went out to dinner, I almost had them again but chose Chile Rellenos instead. Mmmmm! Luvs: You are always welcome here! And, scrambled eggs are wonderful with salsa or red chile on them. I always have some on the table when I make scrambled eggs. I hear you regarding Spanish pronunciations! I took 7 years of it as a kid in Michigan. Never got to use it much, because you hear more French there. But, once I moved to NM, a lot of it came back to me. The "LL" sounding like a "Y" throws most people off and so does the "J" sounding like "H" do, too. Funny! As for my seed placemats, I'm really liking them. At first, I was going to take them back as I was worried that they'd be very hard to keep clean, but they're not that bad. I just have to be careful about what I serve when I use them. Drips down between those seeds would not be a good thing! Kathleen, I'm Scot and I love them. I think it becomes an addiction when you move here ;^D When DS was in college, I had to send him chile on a regular basis. The main requests our NM service men & women have from home are canned green chiles and salsa! I can't imagine getting on without it now. OK, I'm making myself hungry! Karen: they sure can be made with scrambled eggs! Do you ever make Breakfast Burritos? You roll a flour tortilla around warm scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, sausage or ham, add some hash browns, beans if you like, shredded cheese and then salsa or red chile sauce. That's got to be New Mexico's other favorite breakfast! Even the McD's out here serve them. Punk: I'd love to have you come for breakfast! I love the pinecone napkin rings that Jane sent me, too. They look great with three of my dish sets: these pinecone ones, the ones with actual pinecones painted on them and my green Solare dishes. They get used a lot! Glor: Yes, that dip is very popular out here. We usually add diced jalapenos or green chiles to ours. I've had it used as a stuffing for enchiladas and burritos, too. Have you ever had Green Chile Roll-Ups? They're a pinwheel-type appetizer and very popular out here. Luckygal: I don't care for very hot food either. But, what I now consider mild, I find that my Michigan family thinks is medium-to-hot. I guess I've just gotten used to it over the years. OA: thank you :~ ) Yes, that brown pedestal is from HL and was meant to hold a candle, I think. I keep looking for a more rustic one to use on a table like this, but haven't found it yet. I'd love to hear any ideas you might have for a substitute. That pedestal is probably the main thing I don't like about this vignette. The pottery comes mainly from two NM potters, one is my neighbor. I love his work and, as I've mentioned, use it every day. I feel the same way you do about centerpieces! I have several 5x7 frames with easel backs I keep just for adding an interesting card to for a centerpiece. There are so many possibilities out there these days and the frames are so quick and easy to change out. Well, now I'm REALLY hungry for something with chiles! I think I'll go make myself a grilled cheese with green chile sandwich for lunch. Lynn...See MoreBreakfast nook / morning room shape.
Comments (11)Mine nook will be U shaped because I wanted bay windows. Here is a quick sketch of that section of my floor-plan. . I don't recall exact dimensions except for the ones I've shown and I only remember these because I insisted that all aisle-ways to be plenty wide enough for a wheelchair to pass through. I too wanted a 'country kitchen' and figured there was nothing more country than a built-in corner bench-seating under the windows in the nook. Besides DH and I always choose booth seating whenever we go out to eat so I figured we might as well have a 'booth' in the house. The linked picture is sort of what the bench will look like. Regular chairs on the other two sides will give people who don't like booth seating other options. Note that I decided on a peninsula for my kitchen instead of an island because, much as I enjoy chatting with guests while I cook, I would really rather NOT have them underfoot. Always afraid I'll burn someone moving a hot pot or something! I'm hoping the peninsula with the raised bar will tend to be a natural barrier so guests will gather in the fairly expansive nook area and stay OUT of the business end of the kitchen which I made fairly compact to minimize steps while working and also to discourage other people from standing around in that space. The two long sections of the raised bar are almost 5 ft each and the short section is about 30" long so that's plenty of space for 5 bar-stools for kibitzers to sit at. BTW, our Great Room will be large enough for a formal dining area but the jury is still out on whether we will actually buy a dining set to go there or just use the space in other ways. Between the nook and the bar seating we should have plenty of dining spaces and we're not exactly big on formal dinners either. Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreBreakfast in the garden this morning
Comments (15)Yes, Thyme, this is the birdhouse I had built to replicate the one that had been there since 1949 and was in shambles. I tried to post a photo of it but I'm having problems again posting pics. I'll try again later. mnwsgal - I do believe it may have been intended to be a purple martin house but unfortunately sparrows have always lived in it since I've been here and I suspect for many years before that. I read once that purple martins prefer houses that stand out in the open, i.e. with no close trees,etc. Not the case with this house. I don't mind the sparrows all that much, except they sure have stuffed every opening to the brim these three years and now I'm wondering how I will clean it out. Probably have to hire someone eventually....See MoreSunday Morning Breakfast!
Comments (33)Sunday morning is when the 3 of us sit down to have breakfast together. We rotate every week between French toast, waffles, pancakes (different ones - blueberry, cottage cheese, buckwheat), crepes, eggs with homemade muffins, cinnamon buns, raisin bread. All served with sausage or bacon or ham and fruit. Son has local Martinelli's apple juice and DH and I have coffee. After having such a big breakfast, I just have a yogurt for lunch. I am glad we only do this once a week, I couldn't eat like that every day....See More
