What You Should Be Watching This Summer

Good morning!  Did anyone else have pizza for breakfast this morning too?

Well, I had a version of my pizza eggs.  I sautéed a few tablespoons of black olives in a bit of butter, then scrambled in 2 eggs, 1 oz of Cabot 50% reduced fat white cheddar, and 1/4 cup of marinara sauce.

These were ridiculous good.  The olives made the eggs almost meaty and the dish as a whole really does taste like pizza.  Actually, it tastes even better than pizza!

I had a mug of Candy Cane Lane as well.  I added a splash of skim milk after I snapped this shot.

Not quite the iced tea I’ve been pining after, but still good.  Using two tea bags in 1.5 cups of water seemed to give me the perfect flavor, though my tea bags are pretty old.

It was a lovely meal, enjoyed while catching up on tv.

I don’t have cable (we watch online, most everything is available on Hulu) so when the internet gave me problems earlier this week I was cut off from my entertainment.

What You Should Be Watching This Summer

Even without cable, I think my summer spent unemployed and on the couch makes me uniquely qualified to recommend some summer programming to you guys.  Here are the summer shows I can’t get enough of:

Rizzoli and Isles

Starring Angie Harmon as a police detective and Sasha Alexander as her medical examiner.  Think Dr. Sayron from “Bones” with Catherine Willows from “CSI.”  This show, while a bit cheesy at times, is totally addictive.  It probably helps that both police detective and medical examiner have both been on my “maybe jobs” list for years.

Covert Affairs

Piper Perabo (of “Coyote Wild” fame) stars as a new CIA agent.  Think Booth from “Bones” but in the competing agency and with a vagina.  Plus Christopher Gorham plays a very (very, very) cute agent who happens to be blind.

Rookie Blue

Another cop show, but this time the focus is on the rookies.  I know it sounds like it’s been done before, but this version is pretty darn funny.  I originally started watching because one of the main characters was the star of “Stick It” (what?), but the plot line is funny and sweet enough that I’ve kept with it.

Yes I have a thing for cop dramas, why do you ask?

What shows can’t you get enough of this summer?
