Breakfast Time
On Saturday morning, I made Hawaiian Bread French Toast. King’s Hawaiian started selling their bread by the loaf and it’s perfect for french toast!!! Yum yum!
On Sunday morning, I wanted to make breakfast but we only had 3 eggs. So, I pulled together some bacon, half an onion, and some frozen hashbrowns for the bottom of the pan.
Then I scrambled the three eggs with some milk and poured it into the pan. Once I topped it with cheese, it was covered and cooked on low heat.
Here is the final product. We have a breakfast pizza! I also put some fresh tomato on top for a little extra texture and sweetness.
It was pretty tasty and the hashbrown crust didn’t stick to the pan. I also used up the rest of our eggs and cheese in the fridge. Woot.
Today I had the day off to take Kumquat to the doctor. Since the appointment wasn’t until 2pm, we had lots of time to play. In the morning, we went to visit Ranee and Sophie at their new home in Walnut Creek. They have so much space now! Ranee made us breakfast and the babies played on the floor together. Kumquat really liked Sophie’s blocks.
For lunch, I actually went to work. KM makes a sushi lunch for us every year and I wasn’t about to miss it. So, I brought Kumquat with me and Ranee brought Sophie too. We all gathered around the mat and watched the babies play. 
We always think it’s fun to watch normal babies move and play. The food was delicious (as usual) and I got to see Elaine too!
We arrived at Paraduxx for our first tasting at 10:30 am. Seemed silly to be drinking wine so early but they again, why not?! It was nice and quiet out on the patio and we tasted a bunch of Zin blends with some tasty cheddar.
Our next stop was Robert Craig, which is where we are wine members. We all got a free tasting and got some extra pours from our lovely hostess Tia, who really loves her job. 
She gave us a nice lesson on the different soil in the area and we had a fun time just chatting-it-up with her.
At Morimoto, we sat down to quite a feast. In the front, there was a display of really pretty treats made by a little Japanese lady in the front.
The wine finally caught up to Jia and she struggled to stay awake for the first half of the meal. It was pretty funny. She couldn’t stop smiling and at one point, Jason told her to put her sunglasses on while she got a little shut-eye at the table. I missed that photo op.
Now, to the food! We started with two of our faves from last time, the tuna tartare and crudite with anchovy oil.
Then came the ahi pizza, which sounds gross but it was recommended by Tia and it was delicious! Basically, it’s raw ahi on top of a crisp wafer layered with jalapeno, tomato, and a creamy aioli. Initially, it’s just tuna that you taste but then all of a sudden the flavor changes into pepperoni pizza! Amazing. I think it’s the combination of all the flavors together that does it. We were skeptical when Tia described it to us but it she was totally right. Serves us right to doubt someone who makes a living off her sense of taste and smell.
Next was the Mori-cristo. It came from the late-night menu, which they now serve for lunch and was recommended by our server at the restaurant. It did not disappoint.
I was up early this morning while the baby and husband were asleep. Koa and I took a long walk outside and watched the sun come up. Lately my walks with Koa have been rushed and chaotic because I’m either late for work or trying to manage him on a leash while pushing a stroller. It was beautiful outside today. I forgot how nice it can be out there. I think Koa had a good time too.
After our walk, I decided to make breakfast and found a recipe for a Spinach and Bacon Quiche. Since I had to buy who pie crusts, I decided to double the recipe and make two. They keep well so why not? Here are the ingredients laid out before pouring the egg and cream mixture in.
Here’s the final product. Voila! We have a quiche!
