I don’t know that it will help me focus any better this discombobulated day, but making myself get up from the computer, assemble the ingredients, and take a few shots before digging in … I did feel better afterward and it sure did taste good. Have a good Wednesday. 😉

The Menu
First Course – Smoked Salmon Salad
A bed of fresh spinach greens topped with sliced cherry tomatoes and radishes, chopped red onions and smoked salmon. Liberally season with black pepper and a bit of garlic powder and salt. Drizzle with olive oil.
Second Course – Sauteed Vegetable Medley
Pour olive oil into frying pan. Turn heat down low. Coarsely chop red onions, oyster mushrooms, garlic clove. Toss into frying pan with a bunch of broccoli florets. Add a little chicken broth. Consider adding bacon (but I decided I’ve been eating too much bacon lately). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with some toasted bread.
End the night with an orange. Consider chocolate … 😉

lime and apple mint
… but I did not dream of growing up to become a chef, like Jackie Hill did. Of course, I had a toy camera and I never dreamed of growing up to become a photographer. You never know what a day — or a life — will hold, do you? Those random thoughts were inspired by this beautiful article about a woman following her dreams.

Got home late yesterday so decided to fix a simple dinner. Here are a few of the ingredients basking in sunlight.
My Late Light Dinner Menu
* day-old bread, slice, drizzle with olive oil, toast and then rub with garlic
*fresh broccoli, slice, toss into oiled frying pan with chopped oyster mushrooms, scallions and more garlic
* add bit of chicken broth, salt and pepper. cover. turn down flame.
*sit down. take a breather before standing to peer in refrigerator — I found last pieces of smoked salmon.
*find a big plate. pile on flavored veggies, a few slices of bread, and the salmon.
*retire to big comfy chair in the living room. hope you didn’t forget fork else you’ll have to get up again!

Why have a potted nasturtium in the kitchen? Well, they are easy to take care and when it’s late and you’re hungry and you’re trying to eat healthy, simply pull a few leaves from the plant. Layer the leaves on a saucer. Slice a couple of tomatoes. Pile the slices on the leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Glass of white wine or water on the side. Done. Prep time? About a minute and thirty seconds or so. 😉

Simply two eggs, slightly beaten. Pour into hot, well-buttered frying pan. Fold over. Lightly brown on each side. Touch to make sure center of egg is as firm (or as soft) you prefer. Slide onto plate. Sprinkle with a few fresh chopped herbs. Yum. A good way to start St. Paddy’s Day. 😉
