Sunday at the Rents'

Today started out promising: a warmer-than-average forecast for November in Western New York, the Buffalo Bills fresh off a bye week, and plans to make an extravagant lasagna dinner for my dad's belated 65th birthday present. Yep. I planned to make a lasagna for the big 6-5. This, because my dad is next to impossible to shop for.

Anyways, the day had this grey, overcast sky hanging around, so it didn't matter that it was in the fifties. It was still ugly. The Buffalo Bills couldn't hold onto their initial lead in their game against Tennessee. Ughhh. And the lasagna never actually materialized. Some poor planning, coupled with a very persuasive mother, convinced me that it would be better to hold off on the lasagna until my brother and sister-in-law visit for Thanksgiving. So dad is going to have to wait a while longer for that special birthday dinner!

The day, however, was not a complete bust. Using this recipe, my mom fixed me a scrumptious breakfast. At least someone was able to pull something off today!


Thanks mom! It was the perfect combination of light (around the edges) and dense (in the middle). It was the highlight of my Sunday.
