December is a month of contradictions... On one hand, there is Christmas which happens to be for sure my favorite time of the year: decorations, family, presents, skiing, fireplace... I'm happy just thinking about it!
However, on the other hand, the first 20 days of the month are kind of terrifying: I have my final exams, and I think that the degree and the masters degree will be too much. Anyhow, I'll try to do my best.
This means that I'll might do fewer posts than usual or a bit shorter during this exam period... Sorry in advance
When you feel stressed, the best meals are those which are simple and easy but tasty and healthy.
The salad has only four ingredients but looks (and really was) delicious: lettuce, tomato, avocado and some spoonfuls of hummus which gave it a different but awesome taste. Of course it's dressed with olive oil and a pinch of salt, as Mediterraneans do.
Served with poached eggs. I cheated here... Real poached eggs are quite tricky but with this little tip things get much easier: you have to put each egg in plastic wrap, add a pinch of salt and tie with a thread.
After 4 minutes in boiling water (yes, 3 is too little and 5 is too much) you can carefully remove the wrap and they will be perfectly cooked with a creamy heart ready to dip some toasted soldiers!
The perfect I-only-have-30-mins lunch.
Hope you enjoyed it and Bon appétit!
Today is a very special and exciting day in my life...I'll show you why in the next post... stay close!
