1975 Peugeot Mixte

Here's a really lovely Peugeot PE 25V (from a 1975 catalogue) that I would love to get my hands on. It's really perfect, down to the sage color! Lots of old Peugeot bikes to lust over here.

Sunday breakfast

This scramble starts with fresh eggs from my pet chickens, Hedy & Pickles. Add sauteed shaved brussels sprouts from Trader Joe's (or chop 'em up yourself), shiitake mushrooms, red onion & a bit of gruyere cheese. trust me, it's delicious!
