Simple Spaghetti, Tomato, Basil and Creamy Curd Salad

Meal 74 - September 2nd - Simple Spaghetti, Tomato, Basil and Creamy Curd Salad

I'm a big fan of simplicity, in both a culinary sense and as a life choice. Unfortunately though, as a result of technicalities such as having to earn a living, pay taxes, plan for the future etc etc the latter is rarely possible. In the kitchen though, it's a different matter - anyone, regardless of emotional, mental or psychological clutter, can achieve culinary simplicity by using good quality, fresh ingredients and cooking them in the least complex way possible. This seemed to be the thinking behind this latest pasta meal I would be cooking.

Avo & Smoked Ham On Toast

Meal 4 - 13th Jan - Avo & Smoked Ham On Toast

It dawned on me that I may be slightly behind schedule in my challenge and if I'm going to see it through I will need to take advantage of lazy weekends at home. And so, still buzzing from yesterday's trip to the market, I embarked on my second 15 minute meal in 12 hours. Well 14 hours maybe. I selected a rather simple looking avocado and ham on toast breakfast number. And simple it so proved. I had already purchased some really fresh tomatoes and avocadoes from the aforementioned market trip, so it was a simple matter of toasting the bread (we went for soda bread) and then stacking on the tomato, ham and avocado. The tangy lemon and olive oil dressing was a perfect contrast to the rich creaminess of the avocado. Delish.

Lolz gave the dish 10/10 - said it could not be improved in any way!
