A Good Morning Start

This is what I wake up to every morning. OK, well at least on my days off, and they are not mornings but more like early afternoons. I usually walk to my studio and look around and sit for a few minutes thinking of what I should start with first. It could be the landscape, or the portrait I've left aside for a few months, or the new still life hanging on the wall. It takes me a while to get started on something as I stare at my palette and brushes by the window.

Before I know it an hour or so goes by and my stomach starts growling. I think it's time for breakfast, or lunch, whatever one wishes to call it. I don't live on tomatoes and onions alone. Another thing I can live off are eggs and hot dogs. I like them separate or together, it depends on my mood. Today I wanted them together in a sandwich. Yes, I know, soooo weird. I've been told about how nasty this idea sounds, but let me say this, they don't know what they're missing! The idea is simple. Whisk a couple of eggs, slice one hot dog thinly, mix them together, add salt and pepper, and on this occasion I added some parsley for color and a different flavor.

After the mixture goes in the pan and cooks well on both sides this is what I get. One hell of a sandwich. This always does the trick and helps me get my day started in the studio. What would I be without food?
