Open Invitation

Judith, Rhonda and Winona say:
“Come for breakfast!”

There’s coffee in the french press,
agave nectar or honey for sweetening,
a dash of milk for milkifying.
Earl grey steeping and a demure:
“One lump or two?”

The cat is sprawling in the sunshine.
I haven’t combed my hair.
We’ll move the pile of unopened mail
to the seat of an empty chair.

We have gluten free and sourdough toasts,
a plop or two of soul fortifying plum jam,
extra sharp cheddar cheese
and a squeeze of orange juice.

The front door is open.
Come on over.

    You have no idea how much I would like to be able to accept this invitation;) I would probably smell like CANADA!

  10. The Noisy Plume: says

    D:
    HA HA!!!
    RW and I have a running joke about the smell of a country. When we first moved to Alaska, we drove up on the Cassiar Highway and when we finally crossed the Yukon/Alaska border and were driving on American soil again, RW inhaled deeply and exclaimed, "Can you smell that???!!! The air is so much FRESHER on this side!!!"

    I think I might have swatted him for such a comment.

    Every time we cross the CDN/USA border, depending on whether we're headed north or south, we mention the air quality differences between here and there…

    You can bring the fresh scent of Canada to my breakfast table any time you like.

  11. The Noisy Plume: says

    Someone should create a "Canada" scented soy candle.

  12. gf and earl grey for me please. oh and ive been enjoying gf onion dill bread that my wonder hubby made mewhile out at the cabin at wakaw this week. i'll make some for you when you come to visit.
    xoxo

  13. Don't mind if I do.

    I'll bring the marm and puppy to entertain yours.

  14. That sounds delightful. Too bad we don't live closer :o(

  15. Oh <3, I love breakfasts like this one. They just kick of the day with a little more brilliance than might otherwise be had.

  16. Wlynndecker says

    have you thought about publishing a collection of your poems? Like… in a book?

  17. I am totally there in spirit.

  18. mme. bookling says

    you are killing me.
    protein temptress.

  19. If only teleportation existed I could be over in a jiffy. Or possibly and even more wonderfully a rainbow coloured wormhole 😀

  21. Jenn-with-2-n's says

    Jilly you'd be so proud of me, I made fresh biscuits from scratch to go with my homemade chicken noodle soup (with pureed cauliflour and sweet potato in the broth)!! Huh? Huh?
    Also, where'd you find agave nectar?? (or whatever it was….)

  22. sounds divine! one of these days i'm going to make it out to idaho and take you up on that offer!

  23. A warm invitation impossible to resist xo

  24. if only you were closer…I'd bring the chocolate croissants…and I LOVE the idea of a Canada scented candle 🙂

  25. RW is so right … the air smells fresher on that side of the border!

    What would a Canada candle smell like? Hockey locker room? Eeeeew.

  26. nancycreations says

    Sounds good I could have brought over some of Umberdove's fantastic honey wheat bread I made from her recipe please check out my blogsite for the pics Oh I am so very proud of my loaves. haha breakfast sounds great love the snow pics!

  27. The Noisy Plume: says

    JMW: You're such a classy broad:) Can't wait to try that bread next time I'm home!!! xx

    Umbie: Puppies ALWAYS welcome. x

    Noey: I say! That IS a pity!

    Elly: I agree. I think I like breakfast best of all. The loitering over it. The refills on the hot beverages…..

    Wlynndecker: Well yes. I have. I'm flattered that you would even ask such a thing!

    Kerry: I can feel it.

    Mme: Protein Temptress! GUFFAW!!!!!

    Nialah: Mmmmmm…wormholes…..

    Sal: Consider the beasts smooched. They send some back, of course. They're the kings and queens of reciprocity!

    Jenn: Look at you!!! Way to go:) Agave nectar is everywhere. Look for it in the honey section of your local grocery store…

    Katie: Just let me know when that will be so I can stockpile a handful of fresh eggs for you. x

    M: 🙂 I'm glad to hear it!!!

    Mellisa: Oh my gosh. How could you!!!????? Croissants are the thing I miss MOST about gluten free eating. Perhaps I'll try to make some with almond flour (*FAIL*).

    Michele: BAH HA HA AHHAHAAAAAA!!!!! You patriot. I love you. xx

    Nancy: I've had that bread of hers, it's tasty!

  28. Desiree Fawn says

    Someday I WILL take you up on this 😉

    (And I think a Canada candle would smell like snow & pine… and poutine.)

  29. Do you have a good all-purpose GF flour mix you can share?
