Once again, I’ll say that often it’s the simplest things that are the best, or, in the case of Texas Pepper Jelly, the tastiest.

For breakfast this morning, we’re having scrambled eggs and bagels with pepper jelly.

That’s all. That’s enough. None of us can seem to get enough of those bagels with pepper jelly. I set out several different flavors, and when the bagels pop up from the toaster all hot and, well, toasty, and the pepper jelly is spread over them to melt and run all down the plate and then the hand and chin of the lucky bagel-owner, who could ask for anything more?

Maybe something to drink, that’s all. One of us had coffee, two of us had orange juice, and one of us had Diet Coke.

The Diet Coke drinker was me. True confessions.
