Sourdough toast

Sorry About This – JusJoJan

Yesterday was a big blogging day for me, so I need to get out of here before I wear out the welcome mat at your inbox. So, I’m keeping this short, but between the header image and the image below, some of you might be mad. Sorry.

Today’s JusJoJan prompt: is: “Toast” from Barbara https://teleportingweena.wordpress.com/ Check out her blog. Maybe you’ll want to follow her. The header image is my normal breakfast. The image bellow is the monthly breakfast I have with my best friend.

bacon and eggs
Breakfast at Allegro

Books on Gateway Clipper

Knuckleheads — The Evil You Choose — When Evil Chooses You — Secrets held Against Evil

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.

      The best thing about Allegros is how long it takes us to “finish” breakfast. We meet people we know, we talk, eventually we eat and talk some more.

    Congratulations on the ten years! I think I tried a daily blog commitment once. I was very proud of myself but I also learned not to try it again! As for the breakfast, I lift my coffee to toast your toast. A thing of beauty! And bacon and eggs with a friend? Life can be so good!

      Thanks. I’ve decided that I can’t make it with the daily posts. After this weekend, I will return to the schedule which gives me Tuesdays and Fridays off. I’ll explain this to David tomorrow. As for toast and breakfast, here’s to a healthy supply of sourdough.

    Now that’s a breakfast for Champions! For me, it would serve as breakfast, lunch and dinner! I will toast you with my toast this morning for all the years of pleasure your blogs have given me.

    Happy Friday Dan. Not a nice weather weekend coming up for either of us, so I hope we can stay warm and dry.

      Thansk John. Someone who shall go nameless said they were tired of seeing people’s food posted in blogs. Pfffft.

      We have one grocery that has the best sourdough bread. They don’t always have it, but I’ve been pretty lucky. The Italian bread toast at Allegro is the best with eggs.

        Our sourdough bread has the same availability problem. If the driver is late then there is none. The Producer has been known to take it off the delivery rack as he is wheeling it into the store.

              Last year, our local Sam’s Club had a 12-pack of mini jars of different flavors of Bonne Maman jams–a 12 Days of Christmas calendar. If you’ve not, don’t waste your money on that. The flavors were so crazy and the jars so small, I had no idea what flavor I was tasting. I’d rather save my money and go for the big jars. All the good stuff with no ‘star fruit/pomegranate/strawberry’ jam! 😄

    I like toast and my husband won’t (says he can’t) eat eggs without toast. Your doctor is probably happy you don’t eat like your Allegro breakfast every day. :-) I do enjoy getting breakfast when I go out to eat. It’s difficult to mess up!

    That’s a lot of butter…. reminds me of when I’m at my mothers and the fresh bread comes out of the oven. As soon as we can bear to touch it and cut off a slice (first one gets the end piece!) we then slather on the butter. Somehow, on fresh bread, it’s okay to put it on thick, eh?

      Oh yeah. By the time you’re eating it, most of it has melted. When our dog was still with us, she kept a steady eye on any part that hadn’t melted. Letting us know that was her bite.
