Harry Potter - Deathly Hallows Part 2

Yesterday, we decided to go see the final Harry Potter - I am not going to spoil it for anyone but we both thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

The special effects were incredible - its shows how far they have come since the 1st movie 10 years ago!

Despite us being our 30's - there is something so special about Harry Potter and most ages can appreciate the humour and the lessons learnt from the storylines.

I cannot wait to get my hands on the blu-ray box set!

Simple pleasures.....

Last week while out buying a few items for our home, I found some silicone pods for poaching eggs. As I cannot ever recall having had poached eggs, I had to buy the pods and of course, the handle for the pods are sold separately, so that too, ended up in my basket.

After a lazy morning, I decided that today, I would try them out.

According to the instructions, you must coat the pods with some oil or fry light(spray 'n cook)before placing them in a saucepan of boiling water. Allow them to simmer for about 4 to 6 minutes.

Once 4 minutes had passed, I removed them from the saucepan (using the handle) and then slipped the poached eggs carefully out of the pods on to a slice of toast.

I was so impressed - the centre of my eggs were not too hard nor too running - perfect just the way I like them and of course, I scored some brownie points with Scott!

Tonight's menu

Tonight, I was very much in the mood for some Salmon so I decided to coat the Salmon fillets with a variety of herbs (basically whatever I could lay my hands on). I then baked wrapped them in tin foil and placed them in the cooker (oven) for 35 minutes at fan assisted 200 degrees.

To accompany the Salmon, I roasted tomatoes, aubergines, baby marrows, red, yellow, green peppers and onions and if that was not enough - I decided to make some home made chunky hot chips to accompany our feast. Mmmmm delicious!!!
