Dinner @ Home

So, I decided to make my own dinner tonight. I decided on something simple and nothing too extravagant. Something to fill my tummy for the night would be just fine. Looked through my fridge and came up with this. *grin*

Simplicity Redefined

romaine lettuce
cherry tomatoes
halved eggs
blaunched grey prawns
mozarella baked walnut slices

sprinkled with freshly crushed black pepper
drizzled with a lemon hollandaise sauce


I love being able to come up with such pretty, and not forgetting to mention gastronomical, food. Being a chef sure has its perks. *wide grin*
