Fuss Free Sandwich

Many had realised the importance of health and you are what you eat.
Decided to make a medditarean style sandwich if i may called it.
simply putting everything ive in my fridge to piece this healthy breakfast.

Walnut wholemeal bread,
1 avocado sliced,
2 sun-dried tomatoes chopped,
2-3 pieces of butter lettuces

I scrapped off the excess avocado and spread it onto the bread.

optional: pinch of salt & a few drops of olive oil.

lamb rack with mashed potatoes and asparagus

Finally, i got myself a le creuset grill pan.

'seasoned' it a few times with beef dishes..
now in the mood for exploring..

Meat the butcher has quite a good range of meats,
you can choose the marinated or without.

i bought 4 racks house marinated,

decided to play with plating..err..

taste was good, lamb not overcook,

i seared both side and finished them off in oven..

cant remem.the temperature go by feeling..constant checking.

wrong choice of potatoes for mashed, should have gotten russet instead.

seasoning: pitch of salt and pepper for asparagus.

Fruitful living

Missed cooking new dishes, just finished watching julie&julia..nice show,

however, cnt help feeling a little sad towards the end.

I'm so busy with studies and almost wanting to give up..

Cant wait to finish so i can get back to my cooking and enjoying my life..

dont get me wrong,i've been cooking, when i'm not having evening lesson,i usually cook,

just that i didnt manage to try new dishes.

Guess what i'm really going to be real good at is to cook and bake, feel really accomplished when my girlfriends love my baking and my husband eating healthily.

Nothing is more precious than family sitting down together and had a gd meal.

Family that eat together stays together (apply to friends too) ^-^
