A November Breakfast

It's been cold on the prairie

A little too cold in the breakfast room

(We've not "winterized" it yet)

And that cold morning found us breakfasting in the dining room

Where for the first 20 years, we breakfasted every day!

It's November

We use our turkey dishes a lot during November

(like we use our Christmas dishes during December)

Just two dinner plates and two salad plates

They suffice for the two of us

They're my beloved blue and white

Which means that the "everyday" blue and white goes with them

So I can still set a pretty table without buying more cups and saucers or a tea pot!

Turkeys on the plate

Turkeys on the table

Turkeys everywhere!

I bought this turkey the year after we were married

for decoration

A Woolworth purchase

(Napcoware from Japan)

I loved the colors

And the fact that he can hold flowers for the table.

Somewhere I have matching salt and peppers

But somehow they've been misplaced!

And he has a "mate" -- 

I have a pair

For I like things in pairs

One on each side of the centerpiece

Or one on each side of the mantle.

At the table, I have one facing each way

I want everyone at my table to see a "behind"

(Not just one side!)

Breakfast on this cold morning?

No porridge for us

But rather a frittata

A favorite breakfast

(For I can put it in the oven, drink my tea and do the crossword while it's cooking)

This one has cheese and peppers and onions and potato and a good shower of fresh parsley

My favorite biscuits to make are cream biscuits

(self rising flour and cream)

but lacking enough cream I decided to try

sour cream biscuits

(sour cream, butter and self rising flour)

Perfect with the frittata!

It's Thursday and I'm sharing my November breakfast with Susan at Between Naps On the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
