hope all you moms and moms-to-be had a wonderful day. i made this little breakfast for myself this morning (after being spoiled with a lovely pre-Mother's Day dinner out last night, and again tonight treated to an equally delicious homemade dinner). it is reminiscent of a meal i shared with good buddies back in hawaii. the good ol' days.

yes, this is a contrived shot (as many are, i suppose) but i thought it would be fun to do as i have some of this laying around for research/planning/pleasure reading. a lot is stuff i'm bringing next month, though chancho the pig is likely staying home. and it's not just paris i'm dreaming of, but it seems to be the city i gravitate to most when i think of france... 

i'm excited to see my friend from high school... we are hitting big sur bakery (maybe) and the hearst castle this week. lasting friendships are hard to come by so i'm grateful to have had her in my life for so long. have a great week everyone.
