Hehe<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words. And thank you for making some of those decisions on where to go. ;) Easy to be easy going when everyone is, but someone can still call the shots.<br /><br />So that was Irish cheese with the tomato. I thought it was a cheese, but forgot to ask. That and the tomatillo. BRW told me what that was, Ive just never eaten them before. Thank you for listing everything out, it was all very good and I will need to figure out how to recreate down here. Seems simple enough. But a chef would be nicer. ;)<br /><br />We are working on that January thing... <br />Ciao!BeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-62041744405475740712012-08-13T12:27:44.234-04:002012-08-13T12:27:44.234-04:00Thank you Trobairitz!

I was right next to the lighthouse. I wonder if birds would get any respite in it? I think it was more for show.BeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-87354206568726940522012-08-13T12:20:23.741-04:002012-08-13T12:20:23.741-04:00Portland, Maine... ;)

You two are the easiest folks to get along with. We had one hell of a good time with you both, and are trying to figure out how to get you up here in January.<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed the breakfast. Here's what you eat.<br />Eggs over easy, cooked in butter;<br />Fresh Asparagus, gently softened in olive oil;<br />Fresh tomatoes, heated in olive oil the sprinkled with an Irish cheese and a few clips of green beans;<br />Tomotillos, lightly fried in butter until soft-crisped, paired with thin slices of soppressata - also coated with butter, and<br />Crimini mushrooms, just lightly heated with the leftover butter.<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed the meal. BRW and I certainly enjoyed the time together with you two.<br /><br />What more can anyone ask for?<br />Ciao.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684410365404569239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-20953381562860643812012-08-11T17:12:12.798-04:002012-08-11T17:12:12.798-04:00What fun.
