I’m exhausted. Fully. Mental and physical me are tired.
I happily remember a previous job. Then it was repetitive work at a bakery, with freshly fried doughnut and warm bread breaks. Now that’s a job. Today I spend my weeks at the hospital. Constantly wrapping my brain around diagnoses, estimated nutrition needs, recommended feeding methods, diets. Aiming always to provide the best nutrition prescription for each and every patient. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn I [speed]walk several miles each day.
All at once the days are invigorating, rewarding and draining. Nevertheless I’m still happy to even have work. Only now I’m all the more excited to see Friday roll around. The weekend comes and I simply want to melt away for a moment.
Three simple ingredients are all it takes. Eggs, prosciutto, asparagus. Reminds me of the bacon asparagus sandwich I gushed about. One of my more perfect poached eggs atop roasted asparagus, a crispy piece of prosciutto to top it all. What could have made this better? A drizzle of pesto? Or nothing. It’s so good.
with toasted bread, please
Happy Friday, everyone. Enjoy the glorious weekend!
I remember the bakery stories… who knew that from the humble beginnings of umpteen million glazed and trans fat filled lovelies would spring forth a foodie who would walk in Julia’s footsteps. Just remember you are not living to work… you are working to live. How else to justify the super jumbo lump crab for the salad, the prime cut of beef tenderloin, or the next salmon for the smoker, and let’s face it there are still a few WS things left to purchase.

Guess what? I tried out that eggplant pesto pizza that you linked me too ;] ‘Cept that I subbed feta cheese for the goat cheese ’cause my household isn’t the biggest fan of goat cheese. I liked it, but if you try it, I suggest using less cheese and pesto–there’s a heck of a lot for one pizza, ahah.
I like how this meal is simple decadence. And I hope you’re able to mellow down!
Just more proof that simple can be just that — simply delicious. All the best to you as you do the good work that you do! I’ll be hoping the weekend brings you much needed rest!
Thanks for your lovely comment at frock & fork :) Your Eggs, prosciutto, asparagus combo sounds delicious :) Beautiful photo too.
I’m delighted by this pairing. Simply divine.
What a delicious combination of food.
That looks scrumptious! I can taste it right now… a perfect combo of fresh, salty, and eggy deliciousness.
