Chic Peek: Style on the Street (somewhere else)
We just had a Sunday afternoon Tea Party with a variety of homemade finger sandwiches (sans pink, green + yellow food-grade dye like my mom used to do with the bread – yeah she did!), old-fashioned deviled eggs and some sweets to finish. And tea.
Keeping it light
But you can still enjoy it!
You may have noticed or not because everyone is caught up relishing the joys of Summer. It’s normal for me to cut back posts from mid-July until the end of August. Time to wind down. I become more lazy, take time out for myself, spend more time outside and quality time with others.
However at present I am devoting my full time and energy to a very difficult family situation. Eventually I might write about it. It’s the first time in a loooong time that I find it hard to concentrate on more than what is at hand. It’s been emotionally draining and I must look after myself on top of it all because…
Simple pleasures: it’s strange to note that something as unexciting as changing the bed sheets give me a simple boost of pleasure. Something as habitual as sitting down with my morning coffee to check e-mails is more relaxing than normal and a fifteen minute afternoon nap is heaven sent. I don’t function well when there is chaos around me and my surroundings need to be relatively clean and tidy.
Which brings me back to what it means to take time out. It’s important to not totally deplete your energy. And we don’t need Denis Waitley (best-selling author of the audio series “The Psychology of Winning” and books such as “Seeds of Greatness” and “The Winner’s Edge”) to tell us so. Although he did say:
Time and health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.
Food for Thought
Always scrambling for new healthy breakfast ideas, my gut feeling said that this would be an excellent choice. Made with good-for-you *kimchi and leftover vegetables topped over wilted spinach it was!
Story at-a-glance
*Kimchi is a fermented blend of cabbage, chili peppers, garlic, scallions, and other spices often eaten with every meal in Korea. Rich in vitamins A and C due to its fermentation process, it is also rich in beneficial gut-boosting lactobacilli bacteria. Kimchi has potent antioxidative and immune-stimulating activities along with anti-obesity effects and more more. Basically it is a super healthy additive or mid afternoon snack on its own.
As it turns out I was not so imaginative using kimchi in a scramble as I thought because there is a ton of recipes out there.
How-to:
First wilt a handful of spinach in butter. Set aside.
In same frypan stir in chopped red pepper, broccoli, green onion + parsley. Then add some kimchi (amount depending on how much you like – it’s a required taste but I actually love it). I also added some freshly grated carrot (optional).
In another small bowl beat with a fork two free-range eggs. When vegetables are tender, add the eggs and mix together. Top over spinach.
Notes: for sides instead of making homefried potatoes I steamed yams then mashed with a little (grass fed) butter, sliced avocado with sesame seeds and baked beans.
Do you like kimchi?
