Never Never Bland

If soap could blush, this is how it would look like.  This gorgeous Mint Bergamot soap from Pre de Provence smells as good as it looks.  Happy citrus notes combine with fresh mint to give you a shower to remember. I smell dee-licious!

This is how I serve take-away food at home.  Food looks more appetizing presented this way as opposed to those ugly plastic tubs.  And since the bento boxes are melamine, I just chuck it in the dishwasher after!  You can find these bento boxes at most Asian Stores.  Food courtesy of  Take A Seat Thai.

Ta da…Tv dinners Asian style! 

Love these!  They inspire long baths and hours of daydreaming in the tub.  Available at wrapables.com

Ooh, sweet object of my desire!  He’s made of silicone, sticks to just about any surface and has a belly big enough to hold even the fattest of soaps.  I want! Available at wrapables.com

Get your kids off the couch, away from the laptop/xbox and out into the open air! I chanced upon these teenagers jumping into the lake during a  recent holiday in Queenstown, New Zealand.  If kids spent more time jumping into lakes and less time shooting at imaginary enemies on their game consoles, I reckon the world would be a  happier place…a much much happier place. 

Everyone loves this dish!  Soft and shimmery eggs dotted with crisp & salty prosciutto ham, sweet tomatoes and dollops of creamy hollandaise sauce make for the perfect brunch.  As always, the freshest produce gives the best results.  Bon Appetit!

4 slices bread, drizzled with EVOO then grilled/toasted ’til golden brown

4 eggs, lightly beaten with 1 1/2 Tbsp. water

1 tomato, diced into bite sized pieces

200g Prosciutto ham bits, fried ’til crispy

Parsley, chopped  for garnishing

2-3 Tbsp. butter(I tend to use a little bit more when I feel indulgent)

A sprinkle of the best sweet paprika you can get(I prefer La Chinata Brand)

Hollandaise sauce(If not homemade, I prefer Maille brand)

Freshly cracked black pepper.

1.  Arrange toast on serving platter.
2. Over LOW heat, gently melt butter.  Add beaten eggs.  Butter should swirl in with the eggs.
3. With a flat edged spatula, slowly push the eggs from the outer edges inwards, towards the center.  Repeat until eggs are just set.  The tops should still be slightly wet.
4. Dot the prosciutto and tomatoes on top of eggs.  Cook 50 seconds more.  Do not overcook eggs.
5. Transfer eggs on top of toast.  Sprinkle with paprika, parsley and freshly cracked pepper.
6. Spoon generous amounts of hollandaise sauce on top.  Serve hot.
