Friday, simple and slight.

My little sister Pearl has a habit of putting weird and wonderful
things onto watercrackers. Today it was mint, yoghurt, butter, cheese
and agave syrup. I was hesitant to taste it, but did, and it was actually
really yummy. Suprise? Yes!

I splurged today on a cocoa shaker, so now I can make cappuccinos.
In my mind it is most definitely worth it, just look at that baby..

My mother went to Melbourne tonight with a big group of her closest friends
who have all known each other for 25 years, but before she left she ate all the
tomatoes in her lunch, with left me stranded with few ingredients, so I got a bit
inventive, and bought some tuna.. The sourdough bread was a gift from Darren
at Bendigo Wholefoods, I coated it in olive oil and garlic, then made a poached egg,
garnished that with basil and garlic, and on the other piece had some cheese and tuna,
all put together to make a nice little lunch sandwich, with rocket dressed in olive oil
and balsamic vinegar.

For dinner I decided to go a bit simple. As mum is a totally gluten free eater,
we rarely get to have any pasta unless it's buckwheat or gluten free, and that
tastes like cardboard to me, so I decided to make some penne pasta, with an
old combination of mine. Stir-fried tuna, corn, kidney beans, onions and garlic,
garnished with basil and oregano, a little paprika, salt and pepper, olive oil of
course, and some port to add a little sweetness to the mixture. Cheese on top,
and voila, my old pasta favourite.
