Salad for lunch

Yesterday I found myself without bread for sandwiches on a national holiday. Of course, all the shops were closed so I couldn't run to the supermarket to fetch me something to eat either. I didn't starve to death because I did have a few things left in the fridge, but no Hollandse broodjes kaas for me.
Basically, old farmer's wisedom says children grow strong and tall on Dutch cheese sandwiches {Hollandse broodjes kaas} ;). Dutch cheeses are certainly the most delicious kinds of cheeses in the world in my humble opinion. They taste fine on every hour of the day {and night, if you fancy a midnight snack}. The opposite is true for French cheeses. Somehow I can only eat those after 12 in the afternoon, but that's another story.
Now and then I get very nostalgic, and it is at that time that I want to eat cheese sandwiches. But yesterday I didn't have any sandwiches {or cheese, lol} at the crucial moment. So instead I made myself a salad. I do all my grocery shopping for the rest of the week on Monday. The reason I do this is a very pragmatic one, it is to prevent myself from going over budget. I write down what ingredients I have left in my cabinets, and then see what I can make out of it for the rest of the week. Usually, I don't pay more than 20-25 Euros for five days worth of food (that is breakfast, lunch, fruits and dinner, I almost never eat snacks). I thought I might as well eat a salad for dinner on Wednesday, but I had left overs to eat from Tuesday that evening, so all the ingredients of the salad were awaiting me in my fridge.
First I baked out some chopped mushrooms in melted butter in oil with some thime. I cooked 2 eggs {remember the eggs? I have to finish them before May 25th!} for ten minutes in boiling water. I then sliched the eggs, washed out the greens for the salad en mixed the eggs and mushrooms with it. To finish I used some red port dressing I bought at Oil & Vinegar. It was a great lunch, I tell you that! And then to think the mushrooms and eggs were actually left overs {remember my miserable omelet? yeah, that one, yeah}! I made a picture I might post later to show you. Nothing wrong with a luke warm salad. I'd suggest you try it!
