Mmmm...coffee. It's my first cup since last week and I'm enjoying it. I'm a decaf girl - caffeine makes me VERY jittery - so I don't have the withdrawal issues but I miss it when I don't have a cup in a while. Heated, foamed milk in the winter and cold milk with a trip to the freezer in the summer. Either way about half coffee/half milk.
====================
I have a recommendation for anyone looking for a good toaster oven. One that can make a small bread or a pie. As well as make excellent, evenly toasted toast. The Breville Toaster Oven - we have the compact model.
My in-laws bought one for themselves (they have a nice, but fussy, gas range and wanted something small and quick) and then bought one for everyone else. I wasn't sure how much we were going to use it but it turns out that even beyond toast - we tossed our toaster since it was redundant - we use it most every day. The size we have is a nice adjunct to my oven and works for small batches of things. And it's great for heating leftovers since we don't have a microwave.
It's a bit pricey as a toaster but would work great as an oven replacement for one or two people. (Or a second oven for someone who has people over for family events.) And my mother-in-law did make both a very tasty lemon pie and a bread in one over Christmas.
====================
Just when I thought it was safe to visit Once Upon a Time fandom on tumblr - after the fuss died down from Manhattan - there are NEW SPOILERS and the hornet's nest is buzzing again. We have pictures and hints and previews for The Miller's Daughter (not the next episode - the one after) and it is getting everyone upset for all sorts of different reasons.
Well, I adored Manhattan AND I personally am really looking forward to Miller's Daughter. As far as I can tell is going to follow the same pattern as last year: Strong beginning. Muddled middle where things meander. Blowout finish as everything comes together.
===================
And now to continue cleaning house, catching up on comments and replies, and contemplating what to cook for the next few days now that I'm hungry again. I made awesome chicken and broccoli risotto last night. What to have tonight?
