A Discovery of Witches: Eggs, bacon, and toast recipe
I drank my tea in silence. We both looked up when Steph approached with a toast rack full of grilled bread and a plate heaped high with eggs and bacon.
“Mum thought you needed veg,” Seph explained when my eyes widened at the mound of fried mushrooms and tomatoes that accompanied the breakfast. “She said you looked like death.”
“Thank you!” I said. Mary’s critique of my appearance did nothing to diminish the my appreciation for the extra food.
A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES, BY DEBORAH HARKNESS
This dish really doesn’t need a recipe. It’s something I’m sure we’ve all done for breakfast when time allows in the morning. A few weeks ago, I started reading the book, A Discovery of Witches, by Deborah Harkness. It’s been a book I’ve set aside wanting to read but years now but I finally got it to once I realized it was being picked up for a television show on, Sky One. To say I’m obsessed with this book is an understatement and I can’t wait until the show premieres on September 2018.
I was lucky enough to attend San Diego Comic Con again this year and I was so happy to be able to get to the, Discovery of Witches, panel in ballroom 20. The panel was fantastic and so much fun. If you follow me on instagram, you might have already seen some photos and videos from the panel.
