Inspired by Baby Bok Choy

I have been trying to rededicate myself to posting on this blog.  My goal was to post once a week in September . . . but that hasn't been working out.  I really am planning on posting more, though, so don't give up hope!
.
On Sunday evening, David had a group meeting for one of his MBA classes, and they ordered a pizza.  So I was on my own for dinner.  I've been reading the book Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant, which is all about cooking and eating alone, so I decided to get inspired and make myself something fabulous.  Luckily earlier in the day our neighbor Marty brought us over some vegetables from his garden, and among them was baby bok choy.
.
.
I started by sauteing the bok choy in a little bit of oil and vinegar.
.
Then I sliced a tomato from our farm share,
.
and poached an egg.
.
Then I tossed it all on top of a piece of toasted bread that I'd drizzled with olive oil.
.
It was delicious . . . so I made another!

Legitimate

Ever since we got Sprocket, we've been meaning to get him a tag with his name on it.  He already had a few tags: one with his animal licence number, and one with his microchip information, but we figured it would be a good idea to have one with his name and our phone number on it, too.  So we got this.

Doesn't he look excited?  Actually he was really confused about why I wanted him to look at my hand, and not my face.  He eventually complied, though!  Hooray, after having Sprocket for 2 years, now he's legitimate!
