Ever since I saw the post on Little Birds about home made granola, which included a recipe, I have been making it for us here at casa t & p. This coincided with the getting of a gift of homemade granola as a housewarming thing. It was so yummy. So Now I am hooked, I finally have a breakfast that I really enjoy eating day after day ( I have it with yogurt and berries) that is also healthy too, unlike toast which is just fine but gets a bit dull and too sweet with the jam I like. Anyway, here is a fresh batch made this morning to be given to my immediate co-workers. I am feeling a bit scroogey about gifts this year which is due to mostly discovering that we have way way too much stuff and so who needs to recieve more? I am all over food as gifts but we will see how far I get with that. I am also feeling a tad LAZY this year as well. Deck the halls!

This is a picture of one of the last cups of coffee I intend to have for a while. At the time I did not realise it would be one of the last and I did not treat it as such. I was just a bit early for work after running various errands so I treated myself. But this is it!! A caffeine break! I am completely not exited about it. I need coffee to get exited.
I love my coffee and my tea but what the heck, time for a break. I will buy that instant "coffee substitute" drink made of acorns and barley I saw at the store. MM!
