this morning & more from sunday.

hello, hello.
will you be cross with me if i show you just photos?
photos with no recipe...



it's just that i'm still working out a few kinks
and so the recipe isn't ready yet.
forgive me? it's coming, i promise.
it's the one i mentioned on sunday, the one for:


ceylon cinnamon & pear tarts with brown butter & walnuts




+++



anyway today it's chilly in toronto.
i've got on a long sleeve shirt,
one with a thin grey stripe.
over top i'm wearing a soft black cardigan
with the prettiest small buttons.
i've got on my favorite dark jeans
they're worn just a bit at the knee.
and on my feet,
worn leather boots
the kind with waxed laces.
love.

believe it or not.
they're from grade 9. really.
i think that makes them officially old.
they're kind you wear with english chaps
when riding horses.
can you picture them?
they're so perfectly worn in.

for breakfast this morning.
i had steel-cut oats
with fresh ground walnuts
vanilla pods and turbindo sugar.
i just threw in what was around
and it turned out really great.
the consistency was near perfect.
i think you should try it.




my walnut oats.

1/4 cup steel-cut oats
1 cup water (give or take)
1/8 cup freshly ground walnuts (give or take)
a pinch of turbinado sugar
1/4 vanilla pod
(i save the pods in a small jar after i use the contents, so i always have them around)


i boiled the water first
then added the walnuts, oats & pod.
after cooking, i let sit for 15 minutes or so
then i sprinkled on the sugar.
it was so so good, almost creamy somehow.
yum.








anyway, i'll be back tomorrow.
until then.
hope your day is great.
xox, n.
