This past Saturday both and I woke up extremely tired. had one of her bad nights after Rebif which kept her awake, and that usually keeps me more or less awake too. And we had laundry to do, so no sleeping late despite it being Saturday. We have a habit of making ourselves a nice weekend-breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, or, failing that, at least one of the days. The kind with freshly baked (OK, the bake-off variety...) bread, still warm, and tasty cheese, marmalade (apricot usually), etc. Sometimes egg. Coffee, of course... And we did that this past Saturday too, knowing it was the only chance that weekend, as we were going to be away from home Sunday morning. But seldom have two people operating in a fully functioning kitchen had bigger difficulties getting a breakfast on the table, I think... I managed to first knock the filter over and get coffee all over the sink. Then, in my second try to make coffee I had unknowingly pushed the button on the filter holder to "closed", causing all the water to stay in the filterholder (but, unfortunately not in the filter...) and resulting in a sort of coffee mud, completely undrinkable even if you'd filter it again (I know, I've tried...). And then went to put the lid on the marmalade jar, to keep it fresh during the uncertain wait for something resembling coffee, but instead she picked up her box of snus ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus ) and put it in the jar (it was round, so close enough...). I heard a surprised: "I swear that in my mind that WAS the marmalade lid!" behind me and turned around to see the uncommon combination of tobacco and fruit... In fact we were SO terrible at making breakfast that it was almost funny, although frustrating of course, I mean we sure needed that coffee... I think that if you manage to fail in making coffee. Twice. In a row. And then proceed to put tobacco in your marmalade you should probably just deem yourself incompetent to make breakfast and go out to have it someplace... Unfortunately the closest breakfast place is 30 minutes away, and we didn't really have the time...Today, despite the fact that had her Rebif last night, we have both slept well. And this morning was an exemplary relaxed spring morning, with perfectly made coffee and filmjölk ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil_(milk_product) ) and müsli. Not a weekend breakfast – not that much time for it, and not the same food – but still! What a difference a good night's sleep can make to a breakfast, huh? Hopefully we'll get a morning and breakfast like that this weekend as well.love/Reb

Not sure if you know about April Fool's day, but itsounds as if you had an early one--the day fooled youand pulled the wool over your eyes!! I've had days like that--especially with the coffee, which is exceedinglymaddening--as there is nothing like that first cup of coffeein the morning! Thank you for the story, and hopefully itwill be the only one like it in your future!

ROFLMHO!!! I'm sorry to be laughing so hard at your very uncomfortable dilema, but while reading it, I was visualizing an episode of I Love Lucy LOL. I'm so sorry your Saturday morning was ruined because you hadn't had a good night's sleep. I can really relate to you and . I suffer from insomnia on a regular basis. I'm glad you guys were able to get a better night's sleep last night.

My love to you and .

Correct! We eat it cold, with/in fil (a fermented milk product, easiest described as like sour cream but lower in fat), or yogurt.

It's ok, Val. We laughed a bit about it too ; 0), especially when

said that the bread may be a bit underdone. I told her not to worry, I

think underdone bread will be just perfect with tobacco marmalade and

coffee mud...

This past Saturday both and I woke up extremely

tired. had one of her bad nights after Rebif which kept her awake, and

that usually keeps me more or less awake too. And we had laundry to do, so no

sleeping late despite it being Saturday. We have a habit of making ourselves a

nice weekend-breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, or, failing that, at least one

of the days. The kind with freshly baked (OK, the bake-off variety...) bread,

still warm, and tasty cheese, marmalade (apricot usually), etc. Sometimes egg.

Coffee, of course... And we did that this past Saturday too, knowing it was the

only chance that weekend, as we were going to be away from home Sunday morning.

But seldom have two people operating in a fully functioning kitchen had bigger

difficulties getting a breakfast on the table, I think... I managed to first

Today, despite the fact that had her Rebif last night, we have both slept

well. And this morning was an exemplary relaxed spring morning, with perfectly

and müsli. Not a weekend breakfast – not that much time for it, and not

It is dry rolled flakes of various grains,

usually eaten with cut fruit and milk,

usually cold--kind of mushy if one heats

it--Swiss origin, I think.

Remind me not to go to breakfast at your home (unless you're doing the musli thing, that's good yum, and I'd love to try that milk stuff...)

Not sure if you know about April Fool's day, but it

sounds as if you had an early one--the day fooled you

and pulled the wool over your eyes!! I've had days

like that--especially with the coffee, which is exceedingly

maddening--as there is nothing like that first cup of coffee /div>

in the morning! Thank you for the story, and hopefully it

will be the only one like it in your future! Please send

First one must have a sense of humor, which he was distinctly lacking.

What a story. I think what makes it so funny is how well my husband and I can relate to it. Sounds so much like the two of us in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing and sleep well.

This past Saturday both and I woke up extremely tired. had one of her bad nights after Rebif which kept her awake, and that usually keeps me more or less awake too. And we had laundry to do, so no sleeping late despite it being Saturday. We have a habit of making ourselves a nice weekend-breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays, or, failing that, at least one of the days. The kind with freshly baked (OK, the bake-off variety...) bread, still warm, and tasty cheese, marmalade (apricot usually), etc. Sometimes egg. Coffee, of course... And we did that this past Saturday too, knowing it was the only chance that weekend, as we were going to be away from home Sunday morning. But seldom have two people operating in a fully functioning kitchen had bigger difficulties getting a breakfast on the table, I think... I managed to first knock the filter over and get coffee all over the sink. Then, in my second try to make coffee I had unknowingly

pushed the button on the filter holder to "closed", causing all the water to stay in the filterholder (but, unfortunately not in the filter...) and resulting in a sort of coffee mud, completely undrinkable even if you'd filter it again (I know, I've tried...). And then went to put the lid on the marmalade jar, to keep it fresh during the uncertain wait for something resembling coffee, but instead she picked up her box of snus ( http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Snus ) and put it in the jar (it was round, so close enough...). I heard a surprised: "I swear that in my mind that WAS the marmalade lid!" behind me and turned around to see the uncommon combination of tobacco and fruit... In fact we were SO terrible at making breakfast that it was almost funny, although frustrating of course, I mean we sure needed that coffee... I think that if you manage to fail in making coffee. Twice. In a row. And then proceed to put tobacco in your marmalade you should

Unfortunately the closest breakfast place is 30 minutes away, and we didn't really have the time...Today, despite the fact that had her Rebif last night, we have both slept well. And this morning was an exemplary relaxed spring morning, with perfectly made coffee and filmjölk ( http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Fil_(milk_ product) ) and müsli.

I hope so too! We have plans for a nice, relaxing spring Saturday this weekend. With reading, snacks (olives, prosciutto, salami, fruit, cheese, etc., a sort of customized Spanish tapas thing), and cold drinks. If possible (that is, if the spring weather should decide to stick around for the weekend), outside. But should the spring take a break, our living room is nice too. It's a version of one of our most cherished vacation traditions: To bring books to an outdoor restaurant somewhere nice, find a table in the shadow, and spend a considerable amount of time enjoying coffee/soda/drinks/snacks/ice-cream/sandwiches while reading side by side and occasionally comment or quote something we are reading to each other. A bit quirky I suppose...But to us that really IS vacation.love/Reb>> Oh, dear, that morning sounds like some around here…. ;-)> > > > I'm certainly glad today was better for you!
