Eggs for Two

via

If you had to swoon me, seat me in the sunshine where the scent of a fresh coffee weaves itself around our breakfast for two.


Recipe: The Summer Egg

Ingredients 2 eggs
Asparagus, handful
Dandelion greens, handful
Olive oil, drizzle
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Method Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Break off the ends of the asparagus stalks, drizzle with olive, and toss with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, or until tender, but with a slight crunch. While the asparagus is cooking, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Place eggs in boiling water for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove from the water, cut off the tops, and serve over lightly dressed dandelion greens. Place one stalk of asparagus in each egg and season to taste.

Time is tickin'! I've been counting down the hours till my boy and I jet-set off to a weekend away - breaking the routine is much needed and our Melbourne-bound tickets have me in a fat-kid-and-cake scenario. I can't wait for a return to the town. Hope your weekend turns out just as great, whatever it is you choose!  Here's a few links to get us there a little sooner...

1. Speaking of "change" I like to think that I'll get myself into an organised state instead of crawling my way out of a panicked huff every morning. Something that makes me feel like I'm moving in the right direction is spotting this pretty collection of trays. Nothing like a good tray to feel like things are getting organised, right?

2. Here's another one for the "change" bin. Seen the Time cover showing a mother breastfeeding her 3yo kid? Anything for free publicity, you might say...

3. Know what 10,000plus cupcakes look like dressed as a cherry blossom tree? No? Crumbs and doilies do...

TIME's pick of the bunch

This, of course, is naturally going to raise debate - some good and some in form of soapbox pablum. Either way, this is TIME Magazine's Person of the Year.  Let's not forget the peeps who didn't quite make the cut...the 'who shoulda beens'.
