this is something salty

*This is truly: my daily toast.

*fried egg (topped with smoked paprika and truffle salt) and mashed avocado with lemon juice atop a slice of Beckmann's sourdough toast, the best toast ever.

*I decided to eat something salty for breakfast, finally. I always crave sweets in the morning, which is the reason i can down half a large chocolate bar by noon.

*One of life's simple pleasures: drippy yellow egg yolk.

this is a Naomi burger

*On the last day of 2010, my sister requested a hamburger.

*The makings of a Naomi burger, 100% homemade, from top to bottom:
(1) sesame hamburger buns (flour, milk, butter, water, sugar, salt, yeast, egg yolk wash)
(2) california avocado
(3) caramelized onions
(4) bbq broccoli & carrot slaw (broccoli, carrot, homemade bbq sauce = ketchup, honey, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, chili powder, paprika, japanese mayonnaise, pepper)
(5) hand-formed beef patty

Note: By the grace of God, I received a midnight delivery a few nights ago with my laptop computer + cameras. So thankful.

Megan - for the chocolate torte base, I followed this cake base recipe (didn't use her mousse though). I didn't use recipes for the nutella mousse or the peppermint creme, but I could try to write them out and send them to you if you'd like!
