tonight we had huevos rancheros. a tin each of butter beans and cannellini beans (drained), one onion, garlic, one tin of tomatoes, some cumin and paprika. cook all of that together, then put the mix in ramekins or a small baking tray. crack a couple of eggs on top and put them under the grill.

 Scrambled Eggs

So "last night" it was quite mild out, and I forgot to take my sneakers to the gym, so Michael and I went for a run when I got home. By the time we finished our trot we were really rather hungry and M needed to go out, so were up for a fast meal.

We scrambled five of the eggs laid this morning, added almost as much in quantity of milk, a little cheese, a spring onion and chives. Had we a cow that would all be homemade. It was so good. I learned how to make great scrambled eggs from my sister-in law - pour everything into the pan and wait. When it starts to solidify at the base, move it just a little to let the unset liquid run into the groove. Wait, then move it just a little more. The top stays so nice and shiny that way.

Haloumi Salad

I hope haloumi doesn't come into the too classy for this page category, apparently it's really easy to make - a colleague of mine made it for me in exchange for some quince paste from my kitchen.

Sliced, grilled haloumi, deseeded chargrilled capsicum with skin removed, on a bed of lettuce from the garden (cos?), with a little trickle of raspberry balsamic vinegar. New flavour combination!
