Two Eggs, Two Buns

I had two eggs that really needed using up, as shop dates would go they would have been a month out of date, but as home laid ones I trusted they would be fine ... can I say trusted when I did the float test just in case 🤣🙃🙂

But yes they were, so they both got hard boiled, of course it made sense to cook them together even though I would be eating them at different meals.

Egg number one was going to make me an open egg bun for my lunch, with a sachet of mayonnaise from the Stash Tin.

Once it was mashed up it didn't look like much, so I decided to slice egg number two up and use the all white ends to bulk out egg number one. 

A quick nip into my Smaller Garden and I had a few stems from the chives bowl to add colour, flavour and a smidge of goodness to my lunch.

Egg and bun number one - an open egg bun for my lunch on day one.

Egg number two was placed, covered into the fridge ready to make my tea last night.  A quick rummage through the salad drawer and I had lettuce, red onion and cucumber to join the egg slices and another sachet of mayonnaise to 'butter' my bun with.

So tea last night was an egg salad bun, two meals made with the same base ingredients and tasting totally different.

Two eggs, two buns - used up.  Simple food, simple ingredients. 

I haven't shopped all week it's a good feeling 🙂

Anyone else like me, in that you can't sit down and enjoy a snack or meal until all the prep pots are washed?  It drives Alan mad, he's always telling me to leave the pots until after or that he'll do them later, nope I  like to sit down with a clear sink ...

... and a clear, clean work area.
