Wenesday is always the worst day of the week I find.

I wasn't up to cooking last night because I would have had to clean the kitchen first, and that was not happening. Lucky for me, there was food because I had bought spinach and eggs to make a quiche for our anniversary this last weekend, but still haven't made yet. Anyway, the point is I made spinach salad and it was really good. I had made some the other day, and tried to poach an egg for it, but I din't really like it enough for the amount of work. This version was much better.

Spinach salad:
I first boiled 4 eggs just right for the first time ever (yolk was firm but not dry). I think that may be the only thing an electric stove is good for, as the leftover heat is enough to cook them after you turn it off when it boils. I cut them in half so it would be pretty.

Then I made the dressing; whisking together some red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt and fresh ground white pepper. I think there was about a 1/4 cup in the end.

Salad was just green onions and about 4 oz of baby spinach. I had mixed about half of it with the dressing, and then due to chris not feeling well, left it out for about an hour, where upon the spinach had wilted enough I could mix in a lot more spinach with out it falling out the bowl. It was much better after sitting than it had been before. I tried to make enough to have some leftover, but I live with a man- so none was left.
