Life, with Clotted Cream
An ordinary life with a dusting of luxury.
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little bit extra…
I am a firm believer of many things. One of those are that one should never settle for ordinary. Always do that little bit extra to make the ordinary, well, extraordinary!
A little background…
Take breakfast, for example. With the very warm weather we’re currently enjoying our bread has gone mouldy within a day of purchasing. (Normally, with warm weather, I put my bread in the fridge, but this time there was no space!) With bread out of action, breakfast choices became rather slim this morning. I don’t eat cereal as I don’t see the point and, truth be told, I don’t do breakfast unless I’m on holiday.
Getting to the point…
With a bit of luck, I found a tin of baked beans along with two nearly expired eggs. Breakfast sorted! I like jazzing things up and this morning will be no exception. So instead of ordinary beans and eggs, I like taking things just that one step further.
So here’s what I did:
- Baked beans heated on the hob with a sprinkle of garlic and a teaspoon of tomato paste to deepen the flavour.
- I then poached two eggs (see my recipe here: Perfectly poached egg) before plating the whole lot up. Lastly a twist of pepper and a few basil leaves and breakfast is truly served in style.
Don’t lead an ordinary life if you can add that little touch of magic to make it extraordinary; go on, you deserve it!
What do you do to make the ordinary extra special? Please let me know in the comments below!

This has made me so hungry! The past week I’ve been very lazy with my dinners thanks to the heat but you just greatly shown that we don’t have to go all out for something special, it can be simple yet sophisticated at the same time ! #bloggerstribe

I hate ordinary too, especially when it comes to food! I’m really struggling with breakfast right now, it’s so hot I hardly want to eat anything x

I’m so glad someone else feels the same way 😊. I’ve never been a big breakfast eater, but I find having fruit and yoghurt or just plain yoghurt drizzled with honey and cinnamon is really nice during the summer.x
