54th

it was a gorgeous day! sunshine finally came here! i didn't even mind when it was blinding me, i kept on sitting on my deck, facing it bluntly, soaking up every last sun beam! the mood is up, the inspiration is on. but dinner time was approaching rapidly. so i whipped up a quikie. i saw a pretty picture in a magazine: it was an egg dish, with hash brown potatoes, topped with some fresh veggies. i made my own version without even reading the recipe. no need to read, when i'm inspired... picture worth a 1000 words...
