camera....
Breakfast.... microwaved eggs with Parmesan, avocado, and tomato.
YUMMM...
Microwave safe dish, drizzle olive oil, two eggs with yolks poked with
sharp knife, garlic salt, Parmesan cheese. Porcelain saucer on top of dish. Cook

Yesterday I had a doc appointment in Medford and it was
pouring rain. That wasn't so bad, it was the total idiots on the road!!!!
You'd think that Oregonads would be used to driving in the
rain. NOT! Geeesh! And, no, I didn't take the picture!
Came home and heated the veggie pita I bought Monday.

olives, mushrooms, jack cheese, with jalapeño ranch sauce. Mmmmmmmm.......
