toast & spinach & egg

Hungry? Crispy toast … a creamy spinach-cheese-bacon mess … a baked egg still soft … Sometimes when it’s only me & myself for lunch I like to prepare some simple toast: easy to assemble, fast to prepare, but appeasing my appetite w/o working like a stone in my stomach afterwards.

white, red & green: some fish, some tomatoes, some spinach leaves

I found in the food blog universe a mix of vegetables & fish, adjusted the spices & decided to serve the mess w/ plain cooked rice. That was the idea (which worked out well!). The best mate to our mess of fish & vegetables will be plain cooked rice. If you happen to have some cooked rice in your fridge – fine. If not, just cook some rice along to preparing the mess.
