17 favourite breakfasts: #3 is a bran muffin, with a coffee, of course. Attentive eyes will notice at least two details in the photo. 1) The muffins look exactly like the type that Ted makes. They are. 2) The coffee mug says “bonheur” and it was nicely provided at the Prevost station on the Parc Linéaire Le P’tit Train du Nord. They also had muffins for sale and it almost broke my heart to say “non, merci” à la jeune fille qui ‘mindait le shoppe’ but I told her I had made my own muffins (last night).
Bonus note to all you single men: it is common knowledge that supermarkets are a great place to meet women. I would refine that to say that markets are even better. Earlier this week at the Atwater market, when I was pricing flats of strawberries it impressed the girl (from Hemmingford) greatly that the good looking cyclist before her made jam. I guess it says a lot…
Thinking back to when I was trying to get Carol’s attention, she will laugh and recount the time that we were at Paul’s place for Thanksgiving dinner and David and I were comparing notes on how to get the best apple pie crust for the apple pies that we both were making (very amateurishly). Since I got the girl I no longer make my own pie, but again, single men, if you are looking for a quality woman it might be exactly like shopping for apples or strawberries. Just make sure you’re the real goods first.
