Not a moment too soon, I've been waking in the middle of the night with foot and leg cramps. Not a great way to wake up. Lets hope this nips it in the butt.

Good. Really good. I LOVE a good nights sleep. Makes me feel like being nice.

Comments:
For some reason I had it in my head that breakfast for dinner was an easy thing. A simple and relaxing meal to prepare. I haven't made benny's for a while... maybe I forgot how everything is ready at exactly the same time and you're raging around the kitchen trying to put it all together. Spilling raw eggs out of poach pods, decorating the cabinets with that delightful yellow hollandaise, and the floor after an over vigorous stir of the spinach.

Once it all comes together and your plate is swimming in that heavenly sauce it's all worth it. Well, maybe after a few bites and a few more sips of wine.
