Gastronomy and Life's Other Pleasures

My perfect lunch

I put together this little spread as a special treat to myself one day recently.  I was craving a smoked salmon eggs benedict so this combination of ingredients really hit the spot (I can live without the hollandaise - I know, crazy right?)  I’ve finally figured out how to poach eggs effectively, so I’m proud of myself for that!  I topped a toasted english muffin with slices of smoked salmon, fresh baby spinach, chopped green onion, a poached egg and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.  Yum!  So satisfying.  Served with a bowl of fresh chopped fruit and a big mug of coffee and I couldn’t be happier.
