recent favorites around the table (actually not the table but the kitchen counter)

(taken with sx-70 on 600 film)

hi.
how was your weekend?
did you have a lot of fun?
i hope you did, and have started the week happily.

i've been busy and tired these days.
a lot of thing are still going on, and i don't have a dining table right now.
as i told you in the last post, i'm working on it.
my dining table isn't ready yet.
one corner of my living room is now like a small studio of furniture makers.
all parts of the table and chairs, rollers and brushes, paints and stains, sand papers, and so on are here and there.
i'll post the before and after picture when the table and i are ready to do it.
thank you for suggesting me to do so, annemarie!

so, we are eating everything at the kitchen counter under the fluorescent light.
yes, the one which is lack of elegance.
but to tell the truth, i don't really dislike eating at the kitchen counter, sitting on the bar chair under the fluorescent light.
it's something unusual, and that makes me a little excited.

and what i'm eating and enjoying these days are:
-oat meal with figs and red onions open egg-white omelet
-a toast topped with tofurky ham and sliced figs and cucumbers
-sliced figgs and low-fat soft cheese grilled sandwich
-a burrito with hummus, avocados and figs
-a small bowl of non-fat plain yogurt topped with diced figs and a little drizzle of maple syrup (or skip maple syrup and add a spoonful of nutella.)

all about figs!
i especially like the combination of figs and coarsely ground pepper.
even over figs and yogurt, i sprinkle pepper.
for the omelet, i like to cook with both hot chili pepper flakes and ground peppercorns.


though i've been busy and tired these days as i've already told you, still happy with figs. :))
