Happy Friday!

This week has seemed so long to me!  But the school year has gone by really fast!   Hannah only has three more days of school and a week from tomorrow she’ll be a graduate of the Class of 2010! It’s so weird, when she was born I thought “it will be 2010 when she graduates from high school!”  It seemed so far away, and can...

I have sea salt!

That will literally last me the rest of my life! 😀  I won a giveaway a while back from Chef E and it arrived in the mail yesterday. Some that I have never even heard of! Thanks to my spice sage! 😀 So breakfast yesterday was unique – I was packing my food yesterday and left my egg on the counter.  I got to work...

BSI – Capers!

Wow – thanks for all your positive feedback on the new look here at BDL! 😀  I loved reading all your comments! I was busy at work right off the bat, and I usually eat breakfast at my desk.  Before I knew it, it was 10:45!  Luckily I snacked on some watermelon to tide me over.  Breakfast was scrambled egg beaters with 1/3 cup canned...

BDL’s New Look!

I’ve been toying with a new layout for a long time.  There were just two things standing in my way:  I am not computer savvy, and I am cheap!  I didn’t want to have to pay someone to jazz it up!  What do you think? I like how clean it looks.  I had a lot of extra stuff on the old one that I never...

Really, Monday already?

I think Monday has to be my least favorite day of the week.  Why can’t every weekend be a three day weekend? 😀 I started out my morning with a steak and spinach egg beater omelet with 1/2 ounce of habanero cheese, 1 light English muffin and a bowl of delicious watermelon! 😀 There was a reason for the watermelon – Tony loves watermelon sorbet...

We have herbs!

I love going out to breakfast – probably more than any other meal.  You linger over hot coffee and read the newspaper – you never feel like you are being rushed.  And while Tony and I had corned beef hash on the brain, we both made good choices.  I love the jelly bowl though!  I passed on the jelly this time, but if I had...

Mexican Pizza and Simple Chocolate Ice Cream

Mexican Pizza and Simple Chocolate Ice Cream
I was happy that Friday’s work day kind of flew by!  I started out with my classic bagel thin classic: 1 bagel thin, 2 slices cooked bacon, 1/2 ounce habanero cheese, 1 egg, handful of baby spinach and a sliced orange on the side, which was really juicy! 😀 Lunch was more leftovers:  1/2 cup Ronzoni pasta from the grilled chicken parm from the other...

TGIF! and BSI Honey!

This has been a long week for me, and I am just glad that it’s finally Friday!  I miraculously got up when my alarm went off yesterday morning to go downtown.  I met my co-worker before I normally even wake up!  I left the house and suddenly realized I didn’t fix anything for my breakfast!  So, it was good old McD’s! We took the train...

Stormy Night!

I have to post tonight because I forgot I have to go to Chicago for a seminar tomorrow – I am meeting a co-worker at 6:45 a.m. tomorrow for the train!  Um, that’s usually the time I get up in the morning so this could be interesting! First off, thanks for all your well wishes about Tony’s friends wife.  The saddest part is that his...

Sometimes life gets in the way . . .

I have to apologize to my mother-in-law and all of my regular readers.   I was running behind this morning, work was busy and then this afternoon we got word that one of Tony’s good friends wife passed away.  She was only 47 and the mother of four children.  How do you console someone who’s lost their spouse of over 20 years?? Suddenly talking about my...
