by Krista | Jul 22, 2010 | Plucky Thursday
It's a dark, cloudy morning. The sort of morning where I want cozy things like: Hot spearmint tea... Glowing lanterns... ...and a rather scrumptious breakfast. Scrambled eggs "with all the fixins" are one of my favorite rainy day breakfasts. I love them with...
