A breakfast to die for



Mondays are usually my other half's day off each week and either we try to get out in the boat, go on a road trip or have brunch at one of our favourite cafes - The Rusty Tractor.




My favourite is usually the Eggs Benedict with bacon and a large Mocha - I like the pattern they used on top. According to their lunch menu here's what you can get:

Fish and chips - with salad, tartare sauce, lemon, malt vinegar.
Cajun and Oregano poached chicken salad with apricots, raisings, nuts and seeds, lemon olive oil vinaigrette.
Eggs Benedict - free range bacon and poached eggs on sourdough with creamed spinach, seeded mustard hollandaise, cayenne pepper.
Battered tiger prawn cutlets - with sumac and clove spice, citrus dressing, crisp apple and fennel salad.
All day breakfast - bacon and eggs your way with grilled tomato, sausage and fried onion, hash browns, sourdough toast and hollandaise.
Salt and pepper calamari - with olives, tomato and red pepper salad, feta cheese, roasted almonds, crispy shallots.
Braised lamb shank with potato gnocchi - spanish pepperata, charred cauliflower, queen olives, and lenon soured cream.
Double beef and bacon burger - with carrot slaw, red onion, gherkin, lettuce, tomato, egg and fries.
Seafood chowder - with potato, fresh herbs, cobb loaf and kilpatrick oyster.

And that's just their lunch menu! Now you can see why we go there.

Eggs Benedict is one of my favourites. I have a local cafe that makes it on a homemade hash brown (instead of a muffin) so it can be gluten free.

I remember well a post you did on the Rusty Tractor a year or so ago (unless time is playing tricks with me) and, of course, I've seen your pictures of 'that breakfast' before. I sooo love bacon but I find eggs Benedict very filling if absolutely yumptious.
Beautiful presentation. Your post made me hungry!

It's been quite awhile since I've had eggs benedict.
We used to do something similar on hubby's day off (he worked shifts so the day changed) - often we went on a road trip or found a place for a picnic, or sometimes just sat on the wharf and ate icecream. It is great to make memories like this :)
Looks delish.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
