... and boiled eggs! We had 5 boiled eggs this morning! It's funny... our various options for breakfast don't even occur to most people until they see and example. We had a run on boiled eggs this morning, which makes life easy. Jodie even invented a chive nest to put the extra egg on... incorporating our garnish into a practical structural breakfast component, rather than just my usual three dimensional art.
As you may be able to tell... it's been a very full year for us. Rather than most people, relaxing and reflecting at this time of year... we are in the swing of peak season, and completely exhausted. So much so... it's bedtime(tm) after this.
We are looking forward to starting the new year as husband and wife, and open to all the possibilities that 2008 has to offer. We hope you all are having as great a new years eve as we are, and we wish you all the best for the year ahead.
P.S. Our huge breakfast streak came to an end today, and apple vs. orange ended on a tie.
P.P.S. Our new years resolution is to send out our wedding thankyous.... before our anniversary. We got our selection of photos back, so it should be all go... soonish.

Huge Breakfast Streak...
... is still going for a total of 4 days so far. We don't have a three share for the next few, so this record might last for a while.
I don't have anywhere else to store the stats at the moment, so the blog is doing the heavy lifting. I'm thinking about keeping apple vs. orange [juice] going too... at the moment it stands at 1:1. Jodie is firmly in team orange, while I am championing team apple.
People have been eating a lot more this season! I can't remember baking three loaves of bread in a day last year, and this year we've had to do it a few times already just to keep up... We put out two full loaves of bread for toasting, and each cooked breakfast comes with toast.
Pancakes continues to be very popular, especially with our really real maple syrup. Yes, Matt, that's really real, imported from Canada maple syrup. We go through over 4L of it in a year.
Eggs [scrambled or poached] with smoked salmon is always a hit, especially since we've been getting naturally wood smoked salmon from Mures. Their smoked cod is also excellent... so when things get a little bit quieter we might introduce that in our gourmet breakfasts too.
Fresh fruit salad has been disappearing too, even with our super square bowl. Jodie has been adding fresh strawberries and mixed berries into the mix so our continental breakfast table looks spectacular.
As we had planned, every part of our breakfast is now either local, home made or boutique. We can now experiment with some special gourmet breakfast options.

The new record
We turned over all 6 suites today, so it was a very busy one, and we are exhausted.
However, while cooking breakfasts, I came up with an appropriate huge breakfast streak record. The most consecutive days with a total average of 12 cooked breakfasts. Since we have 6 suites and most of them are used as doubles [two people, one queen bed] when we are full, we usually have 12 or 13 people in total. We have plenty of people that couldn't imagine adding a cooked breakfast to our continental, so it's a feat to keep an average of 12 cooked breakfasts for any length of time.
So... the current huge breakfast streak record is 3 days! Maybe we'll make it 4 tomorrow.

New Breakfast Record
Yesterday, we set a new record for the number of cooked breakfasts in a morning. 13. Thirteen full cooked breakfasts, including one of pancakes with a side of over-easy fried eggs. I now hold this illustrious record, taking over from Jodie's 11.
The thirteen cooked breakfasts was a nice reminder of what the peak season is all about. We are booked out for the next while, with a shot at breaking our previous 'booked out streak' record. After some refinement of our processes, Jodie delivered a stress free twelve breakfasts this morning, but alas... the new record had already been set.
I should probably think about recording the record for the greatest average number of breakfasts over a week or something similar... but that can wait for now.
