We had the plumbers in this morning or as the landlord writes, the blumbers, to hook up the washing machine and dryer. They also performed some kind of maintenance on the sauna and indoor pool. I had to say that. Don’t hate me 
As the plumbers arrived at 8:00 a.m., I thought this would be a good time to test my light and take my first pictures in this house. Leeks, spinach and eggs were in the fridge and it was a good opportunity to use my Ethiopian knife and fork that I haven’t seen for at least ten years, and to use my little skillet that’s not Frugal’s. This was simple, quick and good with some of my favorite things. The light was good too 
Poached Egg with Leeks and Spinach
1 1/2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup leeks, sliced
6 leaves baby spinach
Salt and pepper
1 perfectly poached egg
Cook the leeks in the butter until tender, remove from flame, stir in the spinach and season with salt and pepper. Top with the egg and enjoy.
One of my absolute favorite things to eat!
Mine too Darya.
That’s funny – I used my skillet that is Frugal’s today! Hehe. Remember though, should I pass on – it’s yours! Don’t you dare take out a hit on me! Cracking egg, by the way.
So, what did you say your address was?
Haha – everyone in the UK knows me anyway… I’m very popular
(massive lie)
One day you will be famous and will magnanimously give me the skillet.
I don’t think I have yet mastered the art of making a perfectly poached egg! The picture looks beautiful and I love your Ethiopian hardware
Thank you Aarthi. Poach the egg in simmering water with about a teaspoon of vinegar, spooning the water over the top of the egg until the yolk is set to your satisfaction.
Great! Thanks for the tip…I plan to try my own version of Eggs benedict soon…and will give poaching a shot soon!
Very good and no trouble with the light
Thanks Dog
Love a good poached egg. I’ll have to try it with leeks sometimes.
I think a poached egg is good with most vegetables.
It’s really good with asparagus.
Poached egg on spinach with hollandaise sauce is very NZ! this would be lovely tooo. I love leeks.. c
Hi c. Hollandaise and spinach sounds perfect!
It is literally divine and quite the cafe breakfast! c

Thank you Marcus.
Gorgeous light! And I noticed the pretty knife and fork immediately. Of course they’re from Ethiopia
And just one sauna and one indoor pool. Slumming it, Rosemary
Thank you Daisy. Unfortunately only one “health” room, we have to share
Share?! Good grief, Rosemary! You guys are living like savages over there!
That’s what I told my husband but he told me to get a life
Aww! Not a nice thing to say to someone who has to be so deprived
Looks yummy! Btw, I made your hoisin glazed salmon for dinner last Sunday and it was a hit! Will be making that one again for sure!
Thank you Micki. Glad you liked the salmon and now you’ve made me want to make it again
It looks delicious but everything you cook looks so delicious!
You are so kind Geogia. Thank you.
Perfectly poached is a spot on description.
My husband has an egg poacher but I like to do it the old fashioned way. We compete
