breakfast brigade

Seems like I've been posting mainly photos lately. My creative juices are just about spent doing 
other things. We've had several rounds of house guests this past week, with more to come,
while trying to keep up with our regular lives, too. It's been challenging but great fun. 
Especially since they are all old friends from years gone by ... we had
our babies together, we went to college together, etc., and we "take up where we left off." 
One morning we had one of our favorites: what we call a European breakfast. 
--At least this is what we experienced many mornings in Europe--.  
Hard boiled eggs in pretty egg cups, assorted breads or bagels, jam, cheese, meat, and 
fruit and the regular stuff––coffee, tea and juice. We could have added yogurt but we had plenty already. 
It's such an easy breakfast to make as we can get it pretty much ready ahead of time. 
The only challenge might be the peeling of the egg. 
But we were probably so busy talking we barely noticed the effort.
This pic is for a bloggy friend of mine ... I think she knows who I mean!

  6. I love European breakfasts -- and they're great when you have house guests. Love the little egg cups with the hard boiled eggs -- when we stayed in Germany -- most of ours had little "hats" to keep them warm!
