A Slow Life Sunday Breakfast

Sundays are a relaxed day in Maltby, especially in the summertime.  Last Sunday, I set the table, lit some candles, and made a frittata with organic vegetables.  This frittata was made with fresh baby asparagus, Walla Walla sweet onions, red, yellow and green peppers, and Yukon Gold potatoes.  I mixed Havarti cheese into the eggs right before they were served.  For a garnish, I used organic Roma tomatoe slices, and a Haas avocado.

Of course there was freshly-brewed Pike Place Blend Starbucks coffee, and Starbucks pumpkin scones. 

The crocheted tablecloth (Pineapple Pattern) was made by my grandmother Alma in the 1940's, and the sterling silver tray on the table is from my husband's family (given as a wedding anniversary present in 1934).  The silver service on the tray is from my Aunt Elsie, given to her by her mother in the 1940's.

The Slow Life savors simple food, and recognizes meaningful family relics from the past, a reminder that we are a link in a long chain of family traditions.
