Spring onion pesto and prawn spaghetti & updates on dogs

I followed Marion's recipe for this Onion pesto and prawn spaghetti. Very easy and delicious.  Coarsely pound spring onion, ginger, garlic and cili padi (both my addition) with some salt. Heat up some oil with a teaspoon of sesame oil then pour into pounded stuff. Stir fry prawns and add spaghetti and pesto.

Simple western breakfast

Jen bought Tommy le Bake's baguette, so I toasted it with some olive oil and made egg mayo to go with it. Also made creamy mushroom soup. The soup was actually store bought but I added carrots, onions, potato, leek, mushrooms, oregano and ham.
