Second Breakfast

"Second breakfast" has more than one meaning. I first heard of from a hobbit, which led me to believe that it was just a fantasy. But, it did seem like a great idea on some days - which led to the photo above. However, research has shown that it is a thing that actually has a basis in fact. Assuming that one can trust Wikipedia; "It consists of coffee and pastries or some sausages," eaten around 10:30 AM.

But, the title for this post stems from the fact that, unable to finish writing what I intended to use today, I was going to slip this post from July 2015 past my one faithful reader. Which is to say that I was using a breakfast a second time.

Netherlands Breakfast

Netherlands Breakfast - Gouda cheese, unsalted butter, and apricot jam; on white bread. Goes best with coffee.

I learned of this form of breakfast from a cyclist I knew in high school who represented the USA in the 1964 Olympic Games, and then went on to race in Europe. It is a good thing.

November 2017 Reading

The books I finished reading in November 2017

It seems that, without any preconceived plan, every book this month was a mystery novel.

However, the do run quite a gamut. The five from the Scotland Yard's Murder Squad series are set in 1889 - 1890, "Little Green" takes place during the Summer of Love, or there about, and "Two Kinds of Truth" is in the present day.
