Meal Reading

Happy Monday!

Samantha Bee, comedian and correspondent for the "Daily Show," divulged in a New York Times Magazine article on Sunday that one of her life's joys is "Meal Reading." "I like to read cookbooks while I eat and fantasize about other meals," she told reporter Edward Lewine. "I am a cookbook fanatic."

And eating? She added: "I go to sleep at night thinking about what will be my breakfast. It is just a really big part of my day."

I love reading with breakfast too. I usually read the morning papers and magazines. But I'll read anything, even the backs of cereal boxes.

In celebration of this simple pleasure, I pulled together a small selection of photos taken by Jennifer Causey for her crisply elegant blog,
Simply Breakfast:






Have a lovely day. See you back here later this afternoon!

What a brilliant post! I do the same thing. I'm always looking for something interesting to read when I'm eating breakfast in the morning. There is nothing better than reading the paper with a few cup of tea/coffee and a simple, but delicious breakfasts waiting to be eaten. Thanks for sharing!

xo,

Molly
