Just Because I'm Single Doesn't Mean I Have To Eat Like I'm Single
I woke up this morning realizing that I didn't have plans to do
anything in particular.
Hello lazy Saturday. What shall I make for brunch?
Espresso to start. That means grinding up a blend of organic
and fair trade beans that I buy from Moon Bean in the market. It's always great
kick starting a weekend with a rich, high octane cup of rocket
fuel.
With my espresso in hand I par boiled several potatoes that had
been sliced into 1/2 cm rounds. Once drained they were tossed in
some olive oil, rosemary, fresh ground sea salt and pepper corns
then transferred to the oven at about 400 degrees. I knew the
potatoes would take at least 45 minutes to cook which allowed me to
enjoy the remainder of my espresso as I got caught up feeds and
tweets since I went to bed last night.
With the potatoes crisping up nicely I started grilling up a
couple of tomato steaks and got the water simmering for some
poached eggs. Lastly I toasted up some ciabatta just as everything
else simultaneously reached it's apogee of cooked perfection.
It was an epic brunch better than any I've ever had at a
restaurant. There was a dozen or so rosemary potato chips left
over which will be perfect to nibble on the rest of the afternoon
while I work on a new jQuery project.
