Day Fourteen : Sunny Side Up
Medina, Ohio
I first heard of Eggs-in-a-Basket from Alan Moore. No…not directly. In V for Vendetta, both the terrorist/anarchist V and Evie’s friend make the egg, bread, and butter dish for her. I saw it and thought it looked tasty. I made it. It is. It’s become a staple dish around the household — my kids love them as a quick morning treat.

Days Eleven & Twelve : Icecapades
Medina, Ohio

My favorite thing about the picture below is the slack-jawed looks on the spectators’ faces. In truth, watching someone work a piece of ice was pretty amazing.
Day Ten : Chez Game
Medina, OH
Friday night is game night in my household. Friends come over, we eat, drink, and make merry around various board and card games.
There is also beer. Which is why this photo is a little blurry.
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
