All Day Breakfast: Eggs and Greens

The delight of the first meal of a weekend day keeps me coming back to a dish like this.  Crispy, tender greens weighed down only by the glory of a perfectly cooked egg.  I don't always enjoy the feeling of the end of a good day.  Afternoons lead to evenings, and to night.  Mornings have alway invigorated me and I savour the (memories) of the days I woke up (alert) before 8am.  This childlike morning time has always been my master, my teacher of joy.  There is so much hope and potential.  So much I could do with this day.  I don't want it to end.  And yet.  Afternoons lead to evenings, and to night.  One solution could be eggs and greens cooked together as if they were always meant to be this way. So comforting and easy to prepare, even at night.

Winter brunch; sweet potato hash and fluffy eggs

Yes, that was me (sort of) dancing on the snowy beach this morning.  Did you see that tree covered in ice?  Startling.  Walking back to the neighbourhood, I was tossing around ideas for lunch and came up with a classic combination that used some fresh herbs and leftover ingredients from the fridge.

Capers & Berries; Easy Living Lunch & Dinner

Lately I've been watching episodes of Top Chef Just Desserts, so I might as well admit it: I've been influenced by the sweeter side of life.  I'm also one to search out the cheapest, most delicious and healthy item on a menu.  They always say that breakfast is the cheapest meal if you are eating out, so I took this to heart when ordering an impromptu lunch on the road this week.

An indulgent brunch at JK's Gilead Cafe

It was the small details I fell for: tiny slices of green onion, fresh orange juice, perfectly cooked eggs, delightfully thin porcelain plates, and nicely designed flatware were the surprise touches.  And who can fault a chef when he packs those preserves away so nicely...
