Give Her the Perfect Day: scrambled eggs with chives, grilled ham, & fresh fruit



She said “I need a hug.”   He said “come over” and hung up the phone.
When she got there, there was a bottle of prosecco chilling on the counter, and 2 more in the refrigerator, next to a fresh bowl of fruit.

“How on earth are you not taken?” she asked him.  He winked at her and said “I am”.   So taken.

Then she sat at the counter and drank her chilled and bubbly prosecco and ate her cold fruit while she watched him and his muscles and his crazy blue eyes make her brunch, and realized she too was taken.  So taken.  

They ate outside on the patio by the pool, listening to Pandora’s Sunday Funday Brunch on the Sonos, while the warm tradewinds from the Gulf blew through the palm trees and her hair, and he said the pool was heated did she wanna swim.  “I didn’t bring my bathing suit” she said, sadly.    Two sips of prosecco and 3 smiles later he said “I won’t look.”

Perfect meal, perfect music, perfect company, perfect weather, perfect day.   And even if it wasn’t, it seemed like it.   Make the day special for someone you love...she’ll thank you in the most wonderful of ways :)

(WHAT YOU WILL NEED)

eggs, milk, butter, chives,  your favorite fresh fruit, ham steaks, prosecco

There is no recipe really: 

First, pour her a glass of prosecco and make her comfortable so you can get to work.
Just cut up your fruit into chunks and keep it cool in the refrigerator.  I used strawberries, canteloupe, and honeydew melon.  This, of course, can be done earlier to save time.


Grill your ham and let it rest, while you make your favorite scrambled eggs:  whisk eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper; melt butter in pan; cook eggs over medium heat.  When they are almost done add chopped fresh chives on top.



That's it.  Fifteen minutes of work for the perfect day.  Not bad...
