Poached eggs with sage butter!

This is why friends and family like to pop in on a sunday morning. They know that after my mountain bike ride on the slopes of tablemountain early sunday morning we get down to a breakfast of poached eggs with sage butter accompanied by whatever is growing.

Poached eggs:

Bring water to the boil. Add salt and a dash of white vinegar(stops the eggs from breaking up)

Get the water to a gentle boil, stir the water and crack open an egg and gently drop it in the water. approx 3 min.

Sage butter:

Melt butter with fresh sage leave and slowly crisp the leaves . Take off when butter is browned.

Add some chillie or and garlic.

Serve with toast, stirfried spinach, and some yoghurt.(Or whatever tickles your fancy)

Arum Lily

Not too many veggies grow in our garden during winter, but there is an abundance 

of flowers.

One of them is the Arum lily (Zantedischia).  It's a plant native to Southern Africa.

It is also very poisonous, and can produce irritation of the mouth and throat, accute vomiting and diarrhea........Nice one!!. The Arum Lily grows naturally in marshy areas and is only deciduous when water becomes scarce. It grows continuously when watered and fed regularly
