That sprig of thyme adds a nice touch!

A favourite of mine is to have a fresh sprig, and press it a few times with my fork before taking a piece of meat. Gives a nice hybrid taste/smell response. Works great with fresh rosemary, when having a good steak or some grilled lamb. Or cilantro with good pork chops.

Tonight I used the thyme because I thought it would do well with both the steak and tuna, but it was a bit of a miss on the fish to be honest. Eat and learn.

Beans at breakfast is still a strange concept to me. I've finally come around on potatoes at breakfast, though. Oh, and the place near me does a brunch with a classic breakfast that has a surprisingly delicious salad as part of it.

I absolutely love all mushrooms.

I can't say I've ever had one I didn't like.

Beans are of little importance to my breakfast but essential to the wife's so I have some.

Gramps always like stewed tomatoes with his Sunday breakfast, along with everything else (including beans). Seemed strange to me as a kid, but I grew used to it and now sometimes consider it for myself (but very rarely do).

It was! Insalata tricolore (Avocado, tomatoes, buffalo mozarrlla) to which we (the wife) adds sun-dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts (my favourite) and in this case a bit of Parma ham, and her homemade ham and pea soup, and garlic bread, washed down with a NZ Marlborough sauv blanc

That sounds phenomenal. I'll be catching a plan shortly...
