breakfast – Bill Swartwout Photography

Poppyseed Loaf is a tasty treat for breakfast but you may need a toothpick

In keeping with the breakfast theme and my entries in the “7 Day Kitchen Macro Images” challenge, I thought it might be time for some food to go with the beverages. We’ve already had tea and coffee and a mimosa so now it’s time for a sweet breakfast loaf, a family favorite Poppy Seed Roll.

Easy to make. Sweet yeast bread is rolled out thin and flat, swirled with a delicious pasty poppy seed filling and rolled up into a loaf and baked. Even easier to eat.

But why the toothpick? Think about it – flavorful but small seeds – just about the right size for lodging among the molars.

Continuing the Kitchen Macro Challenge at Fine Art America

My participation in the “7 Day Kitchen Macro Images” challenge continues with my own “breakfast” theme interpretation of that challenge. Of course we start breakfast with a beverage, either hot or cold. My first images were of a pot of tea being brewed for my wife. Next up is coffee and a breakfast cocktail.

The coffee at our home is normally from a K-Cup of a good blend and produced by a Keurig-style coffee maker. I do like one full cup to start the day – just the way it comes out of the bean – no sugar or cream(er).

On occasion we will also enjoy a breakfast cocktail, a Mimosa to be more exact. That gives us our dose of Vitamin C in the Orange Juice. Grape juice, too, right? LOL

The Champagne and OJ should be from the refrigerator. The glass should also be chilled. Here is a narrow Champagne-flute-style glass with a single ice cube chilling the rim. The image has been “adjusted” to bring out the shapes and edges with the dark background. It might even be considered to be an abstract. Regardless, the end result, the Mimosa, was just fine. Maybe even perfect.
