I made this for breakfast
Roasted turnips and barley
A miraculously poached egg
If it’s winter then let it be winter.
I feel much better now
I feel special…
as though my life is secretly rich.

Yep, bacon, mmm….. For a few pennies worth of ingredients, I felt I was eating like a queen. I have never successfully poached an egg in my life before and now look!

Thanks Annette. It was delicious. I still don’t know how it happened – as in, it wasn’t a planned meal. I was starving, the only fresh thing I had were a few little turnips. I wondered how barley and turnips would taste if they weren’t floating in soup. Surely one day I’ll figure out how to poach an egg… Definitely a heartening experience for body, mind and soul.

Those are often the best and creative meals – just looking at what’s there and then coming up with some creative way to prepare it…

Yes, it certainly felt that way. Rich. The “positive” thoughts can float around in my head and I can regurgitate them at will, but they are just ideas until I actually feel it – until it matches my experience. Then it becomes reality. That’s why I took a quick snap, but then the photo came out so well that I just had to share or I would have exploded!

It was quite delicious – and it kept me going for about 8 hours. It was such a joy to create. Dinner – I would cook for you but it will be cold by the time it gets to you. ;-(

That’s quite a breakfast, Robyn. I don’t eat ready made meals, but effort is minimum and breakfast is never anything more than cereal… I am impressed

Thanks Cat, the whole experience was definitely one worth repeating. Have never been able to cope with breakfast cereal so I usually just have a cup of coffee. It surprised me just how pleased I was with myself (feels like it’s been years).
