The walks down by the Carson River have really helped me get over the jet lag. It seems I have much energy in the morning, am ready to hit the hay at about 8pm, and then wake up about 3:30am ready to get up. But these past couple of days have moved the schedule a little closer to normal. I do like getting up to see the sunrise, however. Bob and I have been on a strict regimen of oatmeal and toast, so it's good that I've been getting up early to get it together. We ended up eating a lot of full English breakfasts as they were part of our bed & breakfast lodgings so, to counteract the mass consumption of eggs, hopefully the oatmeal with do the trick. I must admit though, I do love to have a full breakfast of eggs in the mornings and only do it when we vacation. Their eggs are incredible - the yolks look like pumpkins - and oh, how delicious. Of course, I heard that whiskey helps with cholesterol buildup and we drank plenty of that! And no, we did not come back with any bottles, I'll leave that up to anyone who needs a Christmas gift suggestion from me, Caol Ila.
I invited both the boys to come for dinner last night. The duck I cooked turned out luscious and we had roasted carrots from the garden along with some couscous seasoned with sauteed raisins and cabbage, with herbed goat cheese added when warmed. Homemade bread and butternut squash soup, also harvested from the garden, along side. It was nice to talk to Jay and hear about his days, but I missed Eric's presence and am anxious to see him. I'll just have to schedule another dinner I suppose.
