Breakfast of Champs

I woke up this morning so very hungry and in need of a hearty, delicious, quick and healthful breakfast. This one fit the bill.

Oh my. Where has pink grapefruit been my whole life? I spent most of my youth loathing the bitter and sour nature of this fruit, but now I couldn’t believe how naturally sweet it is. Instead of stabbing at it with a spoon or fork I just quartered the whole thing and ate it like an orange. Grapefruit might just be a new morning staple for me.

Served with a couple  slices of nitrate-free bacon and organic eggs, I was in heaven.

And of course a tall mug of ice water which is all I ever want in the morning anyway. And those paper straws are my very favorite new purchase from Rock, Paper, Scissors in Charlottesville.

How did you start your day?

A Weekend in Charlottesville

Our weekend was spent a couple hours north in Charlottesville for Josh’s birthday and a friend meetup for Harry Potter. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate his birthday than with good food, sites, friends and drinks. We even made a stop into the pawn shop  for birthday gifts such as a new tuner, guitar picks and a baby blue ukulele.  And it wouldn’t be a trip to Charlottesville without a visit to TJ’s house in Monticello.

A really nice triangle room at the Omni Charlottesville.

Chicken Tikka Masala from Himalayan Fusion
