A Mellow Yellow Breakfast

The research benefits of the internet are marvelous and upon encountering the main character in Jeffrey Archer's novel, As the Crow Flies, eating 'Scotch Eggs' on more than one occasion, my husband became curious. The photos included here are the results of his curiosity and the delicious breakfast he served me yesterday morning. Basically Scotch Eggs consist of a hard boiled egg in the center of sausage meat. On Wikipedia's information page , it is mentioned that it is fried dish, but we chose to bake them and they were delicious! A recipe for baked Scotch Eggs can be found here.
And of course a meal isn't complete without a hot cup of tea or coffee. And for this mellow yellow day, I enjoyed my breakfast tea served in a 1930's original yellow Harlequin cup and saucer.

Looking Up in Saint John: for Sunday Stills

Looking up along King Street in the old, port city of Saint John, NB, you can see this facade of old brick buildings. With the influx of Loyalists in 1784, Saint John became a city in 1785 and holds the honour of being the oldest incorporated city in Canada.

This week's photo challenge for Sunday Stills, is 'go high, go low'. Its all about perspective and the angle that you shoot at; high or low, just not in the middle. To see other photo contributions to this meme, just click on the highlighted name.

Moccasins: for Saturday Footwear Fever

For cosy, indoor comfort during the wintertime, my favourite daytime footwear are these North American moccasins . I had purchased them in Northern Ontario in the early 2000's. The beautiful bead work is a characteristic feature of this sort of leather footwear.
These little, miniature ones, shown to the left, are much older. They were found at a flea market and the elderly lady selling them, had owned them as a child. The ruler used to show their size measures in inches. This second miniature pair had been given to me by an Ojibway family from Mani- toulan Island, honouring our friendship when we had lived as neighbours in Toronto.

A Skelton Key: A Simple Thing for Thematic Photography

The other day we wanted to have a duplicate of a key made, and of all the shapes and designs of templates available, a match could not be found to ours at that particular counter. Perhaps there's not much today that beats the simplicity of a skelton key. One size fits all and you could probably have purchased one in a hardware store.

I decided to check it out to see if that fact held true, that the one key would fit in all and so I tried it in three of the doors in my more than a century old house. And it did!

"simple" is this week's theme at the thematic photographic meme . For more pictures and information of how you can join in on the photo sharing too, just click on the highlighted name.

Ice Fishing: for Watery Wednseday

Perhaps this might be stretching the theme just a bit for the water is frozen. But this is a fishing area at this time of year and the little buildings out on the ice are ice fishing shacks. And if you're not yet convinced that this is a watery area, just look at the lighthouse on the shore!

The theme of Watery Wednesday is water, and for a wonderful variety of watery scenes just click on its name! Thanks to 2sweetnsaxy for hosting this site.
