Time for Breakfast

Breakfast is probably my favorite meal.

When I have guests for this first meal of the day,  I like to make everything look nice.

Serving milk in a beautiful cut glass pitcher adds an elegant touch. This is a favorite pitcher, found at a yard sale.

Isn't it pretty?

To keep things fairly simple, I put bacon on a cookie sheet in a 300 degree oven, the night before I'm expecting guests.

 It stays in there a couple of hours and gets nice and crisp.  Then, I layer it between paper towels and store in the refrigerator overnight.

Next morning, the whole plate, paper towels and all, gets put into an oven to warm. Voila! Crispy bacon, ready in no time.

For the breakfast shown in today's post, guests enjoyed scrambled eggs, to which a touch of sour cream was added.

Also, home fries.  I peeled, cut up and boiled potatoes the night before, too. 

Then, in the morning, all I had to do was warm up some oil, plop in the cut up taters, add salt and pepper and fry.

 Guests enjoyed the fresh watermelon,berry and cherry tray, shown at the top of this post. 

The berries tasted tart so I sprinkled them with sugar.

Orange juice came in beautiful wine glasses. Just found a whole set of these beauties at a yard sale. The entire set cost just $2.

Served large, warmed up tortillas, too.

Used cobalt blue plates and soft, yellow cloth napkins.

Please pass the bacon!
