home, always so exciting.

i have made a lot of really good meals lately. for some reason or another, i have not written about them. i think i need a smartphone, and then i photograph from the phone and write the posts on the train. i don't know. then i might never read anything.

so, yesterday, the bounty. while elizabeth very generously cleaned the entire hallway, living room, and kitchen, i made breakfast. we began with a salad of strawberries, basil, and mozzarella. i created a vinaigrette of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
i pre-cooked the potatoes by boiling them a bit. they already have so little nutritional value that i don't mind this process. then, i cooked them in the cast-iron pan with fresh garlic, onion, and yellow oyster mushroom.
of course, fried eggs. what is a saturday morning without fried eggs? i put the baguette in the pan with the egg so it would toast a little. of course, i got a little olive oil on it. and both elizabeth and i ate the egg on the bread anyhow. this was one of the best breakfasts i have had in a while. really.
