Photography and text by Corey Amaro.
A North Carolina morning starts out with a shower on the outside deck at my friend's house:
Followed by a peek into the new collection of photographs in the gallery. I love it, can you imagine a museum between the outside deck's shower and the bedroom?
French Husband and I are jet lagged zoombies… we went downstairs to have breakfast, and not just any breakfast, we were having the Frank's Special!
Frank's oatmeal is the best, it is one of the reasons I keep coming back….
In a pan toss a handful of dry oatmeal (per person),
a chopped apple without peeling it,
a handful of dried cranberries,
some pumpkin seeds,
a sprinkle of raisins,
More than a sprinkle of roasted cashews (I dare you not to eat a single one before cooking!)
some water.
Cook the oatmeal slowly. While waiting have a piece of wheat berry toast with almond butter and ginger jam.
When the oatmeal is tender, add pomegranate syrup.

Beside creating homes and buildings, Ellen loves to cook.
Besides Frank's breakfast, we love going to their home for Ellen's cooking.
Baked Peaches:
Cut a peach in half, place it on a cooking sheet with the tender side up.
Where the pit use to be add a mixture of creamy goat cheese, mixed with lavender, finely sliced walnuts and honey.
Grill until golden.
Serve with a glass chilled white wine.

French Husband and I are plump little piggies under the outside shower!
