Breakfast of the Week

Have you ever made one of these??  It's a German Pancake, or I guess it's also called a Dutch Baby.  This is the recipe I used, and it was delicious.  Actually it was a lot bigger and puffier when I took it out of the oven, but then it proceeded to slowly deflate a bit upon its arrival on the table (Now I know what it must feel like to make a souffle.  Also, how do you type accents?) Maybe it realized it was going to be eaten right as its life began.  I filled it with apples that I sauteed with butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a bit of lemon juice and brown sugar.

I would like to assure you that I do more in life than make breakfast.  For instance, this weekend has been really busy with opera performances, and my mom and sister are in town, which is awesome.  I've seen some great movies recently, including all the Godfathers, Argo, Munich, and Chinatown (all really good).  There have been some cool home improvement projects that I want to post about.  I also got a new job!  I'm a personal assistant for a doctor, which basically means that I do errands and pick up groceries for him.  I'm not really going to talk about him or the job much because I want to keep it.  But I will say that today I was thinking about how it's a little bizarre to become familiar with the way a person smells without knowing them very well.   You know what I mean?  Usually you have to know someone pretty intimately to recognize their smell.  I don't really know my new boss, but I do smell him a decent amount because I hang out with his clothes.  I know he must be pretty cool because the laundry woman spoke very highly of him when I picked up a load.  She walked with me carrying a small, superfluous bag of clothes, and said "I enjoy him, he's very calming and kind of mellow."  I started panting a bit beside her trying to walk down the aisle carrying the first, 50 lb bag of laundry, and kind of grunted, "Yea, calm," while almost spilling all of its contents.  I will also say he has a pretty cool apartment.  My favorite part of it so far is the vacuum, which is the nicest vacuum I've ever come across in my entire life; I get to use it once a week.  Anyway, it's a good job so far.  

So, life is moving, breakfasts are being eaten.  Have a good day everyone!
