SMASHING

Could'nay decide what to eat this morning so SMASHED up some avocados with lemon juice, green chillies, spring onions and tomatoes and had it on cooled toast topped with olive oil salt and pepper. THE CHERRY on top was a runny, poached egg. MMmmmmmm. Great way to start the day.

Things That Make You Go Mmmm

Rumble Rumble

In my tummy. 

When I see this GOODIES. 

I have been experimenting of late. Perhaps it's my new I Phone which can turn even the most boring photo into a chipped and rugged old snap from the 1960s-seriously Hipstamatic, I love you but I just wish to God your name wasn't 'Hipstamatic'. 

The other night I took a diversion to the fresh fish counter and purchased some Mahi Mahi instead of the normal offerings of Cod (we just can't eat that anymore without feeling oceans worth of guilt) or Salmon. My goodness it was a succulent fish, cooked up with garlic, red chilles, lemon and olive oil. I made a radish salad, boiled baby greens with chilli and wild rice to accompany-and I thought that night, this must be the most refreshing summer dish I've made yet (in May). Below is the bacon and egg pie I made with my babysitting girls. Sadly it got eaten by their hungry dog a few minutes later but NEVER MIND. It looked ACE and I felt so complete having rolled pastry and cut out a star and a man . It's the simple things I tell you.

A Summer-tastic Dish

Last night I went all out...

Maybe it was the resonating memory of Masterchef... perhaps it were the glorious sunshine...either way my mind was brimming with summer food recipes and I must say, I excelled myself (gufaaaaaaaaaaaawf) So basically I made a little something like THUS:


Smoked salmon fillet with ginger, garlic, chillies, olive oil and lemon juice (cooked in tinfoil)


Cous cous with beetroot, fetta, sunflower seeds and rocket (and stock)


AND a tomato (three different kinds) and basil salad in olive oil.


All in all....I am a culinary genius. Can't pluck up the courage to chuck my favourite plate away even though half of it has fallen off...I eat on it pretty much every night. #unrequitedlove


NOTE: I have found a refreshing new summer drink (sans alcohol) Sparkling water, a good squeeze of fresh lime and a drop of Robinson's Orange and Mango... trust me, it KICKS ass.


That is all... Adios!
