First, Happy Birthday, co-contributor Lane! And I'll take your snarks for unashamedly celebrating that other February 14 holiday!
Breakfast was an onion-tomato egg pie with a mixture of herbs. To do the paprika stencil on the top, the easiest way is to put down a biscuit cutter and shake the paprika over. I kind of like it bleeding over, but if you want it "clean" the best way is to make a true stencil. Trace the shape on a piece of parchment big enough to catch the overflow, cut it out, put it on the food and shake the paprika over, and carefully lift the parchment away.
In honor of Lane's day, I used his savory-ish ketchup to make an avocado sauce. Instructions:Halve and pit an avocado. Scoop out each half into a small bowl, retaining the shape. For each half, mix 1T ketchup, 1/2t Worcestershire (I used Lee and Perrins), and 1/2t citrus sauce (I used Japanese sudachi).
Eating Notes: A good use for this sweet ketchup - the citrus juice cuts a lot of the sugar taste and the avocado blends well with it. A success!
