Still just coffee. I _might_ have a slice of banana-nut bread later. ---

How about an enormous sweet gourd cut in half and heaped with maybe a cup of sugar and an entire jar of jam? ---

Hmmm… “[sweet gourd](https://www.123rf.com/search.php?word=sweet+gourd&imgtype=1&searchopts=&selectFresh=&num_ppl=&color=&exclude=)”? What exactly is that? Something like a melon? ---

Sometimes I make sausage and gravy on biscuits or eggos for husband. I usually eat one egg and fake sausage with English muffin. ---

It’s Saturday, so in an hour or so I’ll be grating potatoes for hashbrowns, easy-over eggs, and bacon. ---

Yesterday I went to my friend’s house in southern Wisconsin. She has pet chickens, but does not cook AT ALL. So she sent me home with a dozen free-range eggs. (Her chickens are quite free-range; during the day, they get to wander around the horse paddock.) So today’s breakfast is cheesy polenta (with extra-sharp cheddar and aged Gouda), plus sautéed onions, mushrooms, basil from the garden, orange bell peppers, and a farm-fresh fried egg on top. Yum. (She also gave me a bunch of raspberry bushes and ferns for my garden, and a blackberry, so I guess planting them is today’s project.) It’s a win-win trade; she gives me plants and eggs, and I cook! I usually bring her home made bread when I go to her house, but I’ve gotten out of the swing of baking - I managed to kill the sourdough starter when we were out of town in February, and between that, prepping the condo for sale, packing, buying a house, moving, and unpacking, I haven’t quite managed to find the time. But I really should, because the oven at the new house is much more hardcore and doesn’t take half an hour to get to temp like the old one did. ---
