Breakfast At The Hawthornes.

Maxine is visiting,

so it's Eggs Hawthorne for breakfast!

Slices of Christmas Ham from Sister Hawthorne sauteing.

Eggs waiting to be poached in water with a little vinegar

Yolks and lemon juice waiting to be made into Hollandaise sauce

with some whisking and heating and adding of butter pats,

along with a little magic.

Spinach a-steaming.

My favorite part - the violation of the egg.

  Muffins from Brother-In-Law Hawthorne, toasted,

with a slice of ham, a bed of spinach, 

a 2 1/2 minute poached egg, and a tiara of Hollandaise Sauce.
