Different Is Good

Ugh!  I hate mid-February.  Winter has completely outstayed its welcome.  I haven't seen the sun for days, and it's too cold to spend any time outside.  I'm in a complete rut, and need something to shake things up.

My boredom is even extending to my eating habits. This morning when I came downstairs and started to think about breakfast,  I surveyed the pantry: muffins, oatmeal, toast, or cereal.   The same choices I've had every day this week. (YAWN!).  Then I opened the refrigerator and saw the big bowl of Tuscan Bean and Kale soup from last night's dinner.  Would it be completely crazy if I had some for breakfast?

I spooned out a bowl, heated it in the microwave, then squeezed in hot sauce.  I microwaved some bread and poured a cup of coffee, then ate while I read the newspaper comics.

Afterwards I felt great. The weird meal was enough to change my attitude for the whole day.  Work was wonderful.  The gloom didn't get to me, and I was able to smile at the dusting of snow that fell during the afternoon.  It was still bone-chillingly cold, but I enjoyed my after work errands.  When I got home I was able to complete several projects and cross them off my list.

Tonight, since I'd already eaten dinner once, I decided to serve breakfast at the evening meal.  I fried eggs, heated waffles in the toaster, and mixed together some yogurt sauce to serve on top of blueberries.  Why not?
