Today, mostly bits and pieces of ingredients combined to make a complete meal that is colourful to brighten the dull cold freezing day. With one egg, bread that will be expired in three days’ time, leftovers cherries tomatoes, chives, cherries, blueberries and plums.
Google: “Egg protein has been shown to decrease malnutrition, improve muscle health, increase satiety, and therefore contribute to weight loss. It has other additional benefits including protection against infection, decreases in blood pressure, as well as an anti-cancer effect, and lower-heat cooking methods cause less cholesterol oxidation and help retain most of the egg’s nutrients. For this reason, poached and boiled (either hard or soft) eggs may be the healthiest to eat. These cooking methods also don’t add any unnecessary calories.”
“Blueberries are packed with Vitamin K and Vitamin E, which support strong, healthy bones and protect your cells from harmful free radicals. Cherries also have small percentages of both these vitamins. Cherries and berries may be tiny fruits but they pack quite a nutritional punch. With their abundant anthocyanins (the blue-purple pigment that provides their colour), tannins, flavonoids and other nutritious elements, adding these healthy foods to your diet is the ultimate cherry on top for your health.”
I am glad to make fizzy drink again. It tastes better though the colour doesn’t look great. Don’t judge the drink by its colour. Be courageous to try. My lunch is creative, healthy and delicious. Let’s get creative lunch and drink!!!

Method
Prepare drink

Prepare lunch
In a wide pan, filled with half fill boiling salted water, and bring it to a light simmer over a medium heat. Crack egg into a cup and gently pour it into the water in one go movement. It will begin to cook immediately – don’t worry if the edges look a little scruffy. Depending on the pan, a really soft poached egg should take around 2 minutes and a soft to firm one will need about 4 minutes (it depends on the size of the egg and whether you’re using them straight from the fridge).
Put a slice of bread into the toaster and toast, butter the toast and plate up onto plate then put 4 halved cherries tomatoes on top of buttered bread 4 corners. Next place some cherries and blueberries along the side of the bread.
To check whether egg done, remove it carefully from the pan with a slotted spoon and give it a gentle push with a teaspoon. If it feels too soft, put it back and give the egg a minute or two more in the water to firm up. When ready, remove it to a paper towel to dry off. Then gently place in the middle of buttered bread, scatter some chives and sprinkle some chili flakes. Enjoy!!!
Before serving, bring out the puree, stir and pour 3/4 c into glass then add the raspberry fizzy drink. Serve the poached egg tomatoes chives on buttered toast with cherries and blueberries and the drink.!!!
