Conni, LOL! I know, right? Thank you, Darlin'!

This was a gift from the llama. It is almost identical to the Cafe's "Big Ass Breakfast" which consisted of freshly-laid, scrambled eggs, stuffed french toast, rosemary home-fries, apple chicken sausage (or ham with red-eye gravy) and fresh fruit... no beans. ;~)P

Thank you, Trout! This is SOOC except for the crop. It's really this small and made from polymer clay. The hardest part was keeping my hand still.

Hey, Lauren! Thank you, it's great to see you.

This was a wonderful surprise and I certainly do appreciate all of your visits, comments faves and being included in the galleries.

Janet, Thank you so much!

Sean, What would Brian Boitano make? ;~)

Thank you, Nicolas, on both counts!

Valerie, *wipes tiny red speck from chin* What tomato?
( Thank you! ;~)

Bob, Thank you!
That sounds like my kinda place. I have fond memories from my younger days of a diner called "The Dunk 'n Dine" that was a favourite stop after "last call."

Many thanks, Marcus - Happy Macro Monday!

Brenda, You and I would need to pop a couple dozen of these like Jell-O shooters just to be the slightest bit satiated. ;~)P

Sparth, LOL! You and me both. Thank you for your visit.

John Peligrino, Thank you, Sir!

A.v.L, Thank you very much!

Thank you so much, Katelyn ! This was a gift that I received back in 2005. It was made by a couple in Paris that specializes in making miniature food.

yeoldeblackhippie, Many thanks! I have to admit that I'm craving the real thing more and more as I type these replies. ;~)

Seriously though, our breakfast is usually like yours, plus some yogurt...

And you know I'm defintiely looking forward to that conversation; I really regret not being able to meet up with you while I was in California.

Photojunkymonkey, Thank you for your visit and link; I'm looking forward to wading through your photostream some more.
