Breakfast at the Cabin

It's 16 degrees Farenheit outside today. More snow fell in the night. Flyboy is off flying in warmer climates, leaving only me and son #3 home. My son is doing what teen boys do best....SLEEP. 

I'm enjoying the quiet morning. 

Natures sounds are coming from my kitchen Echo while I chop varies veggies to be used in dishes this week.

The dogs relax at my feet. They already cleared the floor of sweet pepper pieces and the don't care for turnips.

Time for breakfast. I've added Flaxseed, (Doc says I need more Omega 3), ashwagandha powder for wellness and for fun some French herbs. 

For my omelet, I begin with a dollop of ghee, my choice of fat, to my cast iron pan. Toss in some turnips and season with my favorite Cajun spices. I add diced tomato,  sweet pepper,  green onions. Pour my whisked eggs on top. Sprinkle with parsley and cheddar cheese. Cover to cook through.

I cut the omelet and serve on top of the grits. 

Today, I'm enjoying tea Flyboy brought home from Alaska. 

Teen boy is gracing me with his presence and shouts, "I smell food!"

All I Want for #ValentinesDay...

Setting the scene: Married boy, college boy and teen boy are together in our Livingroom. I love them but sometimes their obnoxiousness wears on me. Especially when I'm reading.

My darling Flyboy asks me what I want to do for Valentine's Day. My sons continue trying to out amaze each other.

Flyboy frowns at our overly loud offspring: "Again...I ask. What do you want for Valentine's Day?"

Not looking up from my kindle: "I want lots of delicious orgasms."

Dead silence.

Married boy: "I'm outta here. I'm going home."

College boy: On that note, I'm heading back to school."

Teen boy grumbling on his way to his room: "At least you can go some place. I'm stuck with them."

Dust settles.

Flyboy looks around the empty room: "What was that?"

Without losing my place in the book: "That, my love, is how you clear a room. And yes, I'm serious about the orgasms."

A moment latter, Flyboy is heard booking a hotel room.
