Filling the Well


We found ourselves yet again at one of our favorite breakfast haunts, Melanie's.

Soysage Biscuit

Read more about this yummy place in my previous post: HERE

Where to Start?!?!
(left to right: Fruit Cup, Soysage egg & cheese biscuit, & homefries)

The above spread is a pic of my favorite items to order.
When the waitress came to ask us if we were ready to order,
I said, "Only if you have enough ink in your pen!" In retrospect,
it may not have been as funny as I thought, but at the time I chuckled.

I can't tell you how many times I've ordered these same menu items.
Most times when I do digress from the usual, I always wish I had gotten it instead.
The soysage egg and cheddar cheese biscuit is a crumbly albeit yummy mess. You know the
type....once you pick it up, you can't put it down. And not for the reason you would think.
It's really because if you do put it down, the entire thing will fall apart before your very eyes!
Which in my opinion makes it better :)

In the 1st photo, you can see the Stuffed French Toast, which is what Cody always gets.
What can I say, we're creatures of habit....

Breakfast Crossword

Speaking of creatures of habit.....where are we on that crossword?!
Last weekends breakfast we couldn't find a single paper that had one,
the breakfast just wasn't the same....

Breakfast: Conquered

Breakfast: Conquered! Didn't think I could eat all that. Did ya?!
Just giving you a tiny glimpse of how I'm "filling the well" these days.
Sustenance aside, we are preparing the house for some
highly anticipated guests. My best friend and her son
will be spending a few days with us after Christmas.
I can't wait!

p.s. thank you all for the understanding and encouragement.
it means the world to me.

I don't know how you get that biscuit sandwich in your mouth. It's huge!! It looks delicious though. (By the way I love your new profile photo. You are so pretty!) It's cool what you can do with that filter too. I want to get Photoshop one of these days.

You rented out my room? Traitor!

Um...

I emptied the frig before leaving so my dinner was meagre, and now I am drooling over here. :) That looks so very good!

Enjoy your holiday! :)

Liss said...

Thanks I am full after looking at that. Just when I was feeling hunrgy as all I had for dinner tonight was vegemite on toast.

I hope it is feeling the well.

MaryAnn Ashley said...

I'm ready to eat! I always order the same things too... I usually go to the restaurant because I'm craving it specifically, so how completely illogical would it be if I ordered something else.

Have a great Christmas!
