French Ruffly Poached Eggs

The French sure know how to make the mundane look spectacular. 

Look what they did to the white of a poached egg. 

They found a way to ruffle it and called it Ruffly Poached Egg. 
I made one for lunch today and then snapped because it looked so pretty.. don't you agree ?

Hop over to Dorie's page to know how to make these.. I used her recipe and it worked great !

Raphanus Sativus aka European Red Radish...

Red Radishes got included in our meal plan recently. i.e when i stumbled upon this easy and delicious   Salata recipe in a Greek Cookbook that I had borrowed from the library. Till then I simply admired the vibrance of their hue. don't they look gorgeous !!

   

My husband took these photographs and he likes the second shot (the horizontal one) more. but i like both. so sending both the black and white photographs to Black and White Wednesday #88.
