Fried egg

Delicious Angus beef and bacon cheeseburger

Posted by Gary

Tonight I felt like making a burger for dinner. If only I had some tinned beetroot and pineapple. Oh well, this cheeseburger was pretty good just the same.

I’ve often avoided making my own and going to McDonald’s or Hungry Jacks for a cheeseburger but really they are so easy to make at home and much more enjoyable to eat.

In most hamburger joints the egg would not have a soft runny yolk and would probably be cooked easy over. I can’t help myself though, I love a soft runny sunny side up fried egg.

This morning I had avocado on toast for breakfast. I smash the avocado with a little olive oil and and some lime juice.

I had some salad for lunch. I like some light leaves, stuffed peppers, olives and smoked salmon.

Delicious baked salmon

It has been a pretty miserable afternoon in Canberra. While the official temperature was just above 10 °C, the so-called apparent temperature was around 4 °C for most of the day. I tried to go out for a walk twice and each time the rain stopped me. With the miserable weather I had baked salmon on my mind.

While I normally pan fry my salmon for 5 minutes with the lid on, I’ve also found another fool-proof method to cook salmon just right. I use my small bench top oven toaster, set it for 200 °C and cook the salmon fillet for 15 minutes. The salmon flakes nicely and depending on the thickness of the fillet it remains slightly pink in the middle. I like to rub my salmon a little to add some flavour. Tonight I combined some grapeseed oil, soy sauce and brown sugar in a plastic bag and rubbed my salmon in the bag.

The rice and quinoa were cooked in the microwave oven and I fried the egg slowly on a gentle heat and kept it warm before I topped the dish.
