Breakfast Delight

I just made myself a most tasty breakfast and had to share it. I’ve been on a diet for several weeks now (28lbs. lighter!), and I discovered a couple of weeks ago that I can have a couple of eggs for breakfast and only take in 140 calories. This morning, I decided to mix things up a little and came up with a very happy accident. Here’s the recipe (such as it is):

2 large brown eggs – 70 cal. ea.
1 slice Pepperidge Farms Cinnamon Swirl Bread – 80 cal.
1/4 tblsp. Smart Balance Omega spread – 15 cal.

Cook the eggs over-easy (or sunny-side up, if that’s your thing), seasoning lightly with salt and pepper, so that the yolks are still soft inside. Toast the bread slightly and spread the Smart Balance evenly over it. Place the eggs on the toast, breaking the yolks so that they run out over and around the bread on the plate. Grab your fork, and enjoy!

My taste-buds are exceedingly happy now. I had no idea how good that blend of flavors would be. If you try the recipe, be sure to tell me what you think!

Geocities Goes Dark

Yahoo! flipped the switched today, and their Geocities services found it’s final rest today. It’s a little nostalgic for me, since I spentĀ  my formative web design years with Geocities. My first (admittedly garish) website was built using their services, and I think I threw every single bell and whistle into it that I could find. It was the place where I became relatively proficient with HTML and served as the launching point for my current ventures with dynamic web design. It was a great way to get started.

Welcome to v2.0!

Welcome to my newly designed and relaunched website. I have long felt that it was time for a clean slate, so to speak, and what you see before you is the beginning of that. I’m hoping that this new site will prove to be a launching point for some of my professional web design projects, writing experiments, photography, and more. You can still find my previous writings and musings over at Shamus Writes.
