MJ's little flock

i remember seeings pics of your breakfast before. Do you always do this? And what is the story with the cups?

A double hit for Mrs BY Bob. Truly appreciated!

I don't remember seeing the white cup with green stripes before. I like it. Simple but nice.

I was in the mood for simple teacups all weekend long. A colleague held an afternoon tea on Saturday and I picked one of the simple cups there too.

The white one with yellow stripes (it looks yellow to me) is one of a pair. The other one has blue stripes.

House chickens! Soon they will be sitting at your computer!

I hope so that would be marvellous!

Can't tell from that picture. It's out of focus.

In the end, she shed some of those feathers and i looked at them with my glasses on and a magnifying glass too. It was just some lightly matted feather. The feather shaft was completely clean.

MJ, I’m checking out the profiles and got to this. Gosh, she’s pretty! And a lap chicken, too! What could be better?

Very few things in my book

It started off with me sharing the joy of eating the hen's eggs one day. Folks were interested in the tea and teacups. So for a few months I did photos of weekend breakfasts with a different teacup each time until the whole collection had been shared. Then I stopped but folks wanted more, so I've kept going. I tried encouraging others to share their breakfasts but it didn't catch on very well, although Bob has shared a couple of delightful shots of Mrs ByBob using her teacups, which I was grateful for because that was when I understood the appeal of my breakfasts. So i try to continue on but sometimes I forget. I'm still super-keen to see other people's breakfasts though if they're not too shy about their kitchen tables.

The story of the teacups is that i appreciate the craftsmanship and the prettiness, so years ago i started collecting and learning about them.

Ohhhh, I could bite a finger off for a decent clam chowder.

It is very hard to find a good one. This actually a family recipe that my aunt taught me. No one else ever wanted to learn it.

That is good news!

Well, I would join in just because you asked but I rarely have breakfast as such. And never such nice ones as yours.
