OK, maybe not, but it sure was tasty: polenta cooked fairly firm with
bits of Musgovian pancetta and a bit of M. Jack cheese, and 2
perfectly poached eggs. And a steaming mug of Earl Grey tea with a
smidgeon of half & half.

<happy sigh>

I'm going for a nice long bike ride momentito to work it off :-) It's
cold (about 30F, hey, that's cold for these parts!), but sunny and
clear.

TammyM,

It's a little below freezing around here (Philadelphia). Lots of wind! Wind
chill maybe about 10 F.

I'm a winter wuss. I don't outdoor anything. My rowboat can see me in the
springtime, maybe.

On occasion I'd splash a little cream into my tea. The "inverted mushroom
cloud effect" was extremely pleasing to watch.

Enjoy your ride.

Ahh... I get it now! The stuff in the fridge that mus' go... Pancetta
would never last that long in my fridge, I'm afraid. But, that's the
right kind of breakfast for this weather. Where'd you ride? Up to the
lake on the Bike Trail? Y'all should head out to Davis some time and
join us on a ride to Winters with a lunch stop at the Putah Creek Cafe.
(As long as it isn't too windy!)

It was perfect. I just thought the pancetta would be nice in the
polenta (and it was...)

Today I road Garden Highway. It was a perfect day. I did about 25
miles. My bod is sore! I haven't done those kind of miles since
last summer!!

I would LOVE that! When it's light (or light-ish) early enough (will
soon be!), I arrive drive at the half-way point to my work at UC
Davis, bike across the causeway to the campus. It's a 20-mile
round-trip ride and is a fabulous way to start/end the day (unless
it's windy, as you say!) In the early summer, I try to do the whole
40-mile round trip commute at least once a week. WHEW does that kick
my backside! I live in Sac, so I often ride the bike trail (which
starts near my home in Natomas). I'd love to ride with you and yours.
How steep is it to the lake? <G> I've done Foxy's a couple of times
which convinced me to buy my super-light Litespeed Vela :-)
