Egg Benedict

The last few weeks, we reduced our time in the kitchen, dramatically.

Why?

It is too warm outside to be with the stove. The summer arriving in a short periods, then rain periods, I still find myself hesitant to cook. We ate things cold: salads, tomatoes, jerky.

Although, I try to remind myself, that we need to grab a little kitchen adventures, discovering new things to make from the Earth. What new things can come from a butternut squash (we are up the wall, butter-nut high), rutabagas, cabbage, or kale? I am still in the learning process of kale. It is high in iron and very rich when raw. I find it easier to eat when cooked, combined with other vegetables. I'm getting there.

For the last couple of days, my breakfasts consists of baked vegetables with mixed in eggs. It's high in green, low in egg flavor, and easily eatable. Honestly, this is a perfect breakfast for any meat-eaters, they get all their vegetables in one meal (with mixed kinds of vitamins), so they can splurge a little on their meat cravings. As for me, I get my greens in, and sometimes I demand a green dinner to get my fix in.

Maks had discovered this, fancy egg thingie, she shoved up the page to my face with her laptop and said "I don't mind trying this."

Message recieved. This morning, I woke up earlier, decided to leave the kitchen alone. Once Maks woke, I said, "you said you wanted to try the egg thing. I'm leaving that up to you." Bemuddled with her quick task of cooking breakfast, she hesitated then took up the task.

MEAT LOVER: It went down so smoothly, I felt I needed two more, but two eggs is fulfilling, I need something else on the side. Oh wait! This is for the blog? I say "Two Thumbs Up."
GREENARIE: Smooth, love the lemon and garlic touch to the avocado. Although to even distribute, I suggest diced tomatoes instead of sliced.
