breakfast

morning toast.

in ,


caramelized onion + fig jam + brie
{the toast that saved me from that nasty feeling of waking from a nasty dream}
in my old age i've finally learned not to stay in bed and attempt to sleep off any bad feelings, 
but rather to get up and do something. anything. run, drink coffee, talk to mum, 
photograph something arbitrary. this rainy morning it was exchange a few online words with stoop 
and caramelize onions to put atop yesterday's dinner baguette. 
it was, i'd say, as successful as can be.

the groggy girl's breakfast pizza

in , ,
{what i'm eating now}

i normally spit in the face of recipes advertised as quick and easy. but today is a lazy day and lazy days call for lazy measures. i present to you, 
the easiest breakfast pizza ever:
1. oven to the highest it goes + pan with some olive oil set on the stove.
2. brush a trader joe's flatbread on both sides with olive oil.
3. top it with salt, pepper, tomatoes, cheese {manchego!}, sausage if you're ballsy/chicken if you're a pansy like me.
4. crack an egg onto the hot pan and remove it from heat after just a few seconds. {this is to ensure that the whites don't ooze everywhere}. put it on the flatbread.
5. bake for 15ish minutes, or until the clear part of the egg is all white.
6. finish with some olive oil, crushed red pepper, and basil {bonus points if the basil is from your windowsill herb garden}.
7. coffee. enjoy!

-yeh!!

there will be one day

in

when sundays begin at sunrise with a bike ride to the market for tomatoes and eggs and perhaps some berries. i will stop on the way home to pick wildflowers and pet the neighborhood dogs, but not for long because the breakfast cake must go in the oven! the espresso will brew and the eggs will poach and i'll dance to the punch brothers and iron and wine in my big fat sunny brooklyn kitchen. 
when my people arrive, we'll sit for hours and discuss time and meaning and sentiment. we'll stuff ourselves silly and laugh till we pee. we might even take a stroll or sit in the grass.
