Yesterday my husband spoiled me again with the above breakfast: Poached eggs on potato cakes with spinach. He took the leftover mashed potatoes from our second day of Thanksgiving and mixed them with the last of our summer chives and fried them into cakes. He topped it with a pseudo-Hollandaise sauce made with mayo, lemon and hot sauce.

Here is another picture with his pajama pants to prove that we are indeed at home and not at a restaurant:

We lazed around most of the day, but I did manage to build my Pack n Play bassinet that I got at my baby shower last week.

Did I mention how fortunate I am? Three of my new friends here in this tiny Colorado town threw me a baby shower with at least twenty people (about fifteen people more than I would have had if I had had my shower in Denver where I lived for three years), many of whom I had not met yet. What a wonderful way to be welcomed into a new town.

While I was building the Pack n Play, my husband was industriously calling our favorite deli back in Denver and obtaining their recipe for Whoopie Pies, which I’ll post about tomorrow.

Check me out! So hard to believe that I have another month to go and that it will get even bigger!
