Today was a better day, the puppy got up and went straight out, and I started out with a great, although slightly less than perfect breakfast. Breakfast was a nostalgic trip back to when I lived in England and I was introduced to soft boiled eggs and toast soldiers. Toast soldiers are pieces of toast cut into long rectangles so you can dip them into yummy, ooey, gooey, yolk.
Unfortunately I did not pay enough attention to the time and my should be soft boiled egg came out a hard boiled egg.
Ce la vie!
Today is a better day.
Cantaloupe makes a repeat appearance.
Lunch was a spinach salad made with the rest of the antipasti mix, some pecorino romano, and an oil and vinegar dressing topped with a peperoncini.
The salad was spectacular and filling.
The phones finally got fixed (a plus/minus deal).
And work went on just like any other typical day.
I had more time and more energy to create a dinner for one.
Steak and cheese quesadilla with onion and tomato, topped with sour cream.
Corn salad with tomato, onion, jalapeno, radish and a dressing of olive oil, red wine vinegar and salt and pepper.
On top of a bed of spinach.
A little too much for one, I had plenty of corn salad left over…..lunch tomorrow?
