pancakes and potatoes

my veggie madness is not over yet.. sometimes i get this frenzy and buy tons of vegetables to fill up my fridge, hence for days i eat vegetables in any possible way eheh
last night i made some awesome gnocchi with zucchini and a light quick pesto made of brazilian nuts. chili pepper and fresh basil.. so good :D
for lunch instead i had a very nice potato pancake.. usually i have it sweet but this time i sprinkled fresh basil and chopped buffalo mozzarella and then folded it.

the egg matter

there you are.. i cant make eggs properly.

when i was a child i despised eggs with all my forces.. the only eggish thing i could bear (and actually loved) was fresh yolk, hand-whipped by grandma with a bit of sugar till it got very light and soft. i still love that. now i like eggs in general and i find them a wondrous ingredient for a brunch.. i'm good at making anything sweet that implies eggs, but dont ask me to make some salty recipe. i cant even make proper scrumbled eggs. the taste is usually anyway good but they just look horribly :D

so this is what i managed to make for dinner, a bunch of chicken bits, apparently scrumbled eggs and brussels sprouts.. i whipped the eggs with a bit of sugar and black pepper because i like the odd contrast between sweet and the slightly bitter taste of the sprouts :)
