on the menu: the perfect soft-boiled egg, ramen-wise

IMG_6569

The physical and chemical properties of eggs are pretty much endlessly interesting to me, and I can eat eggs every day. Was craving ramen after reading this great breakdown of why it is easier to get a great soft-boiled egg (that is also easier to peel) if you start the egg in boiling water. This is a 6 minute egg dropped into a rapid boil, and somewhere between 5 and 6 I find just right for this application.

Ramen (again) with all the garnishes I can fit, aided by the use of a generous bowl (I love this one from Finnish brand Arabia, ideal for me in curvature, size and weight).

on the menu: the berry parfait

Hurricane glasses have so much potential.

It only occurred to me later that this would have been so much prettier and easier to assemble if I’d whipped the Greek yoghurt with some coconut milk or something, or just used a less firm yoghurt. Ah well. Life lessons.

This is the same granola recipe I’ve mentioned previously.

The color scheme is fitting for the long weekend, but also berries are good for you. And delicious.
