No Vegetable Left Behind

You know I can't throw away a fruit or vegetable without a real try to use it in some dish.  Last breakfast on Waiheke was a frittata with our remaining eggs, milk, gruyere, roasted red pepper, broccolini, mushrooms, caramelized onions, and streaky bacon. It was pretty good!  

When we packed up to leave, we still had cherries, cucumber, some garlic, shallots, and more.  So they all joined us on our trip, along with my basil plant which has been traveling with us for a few weeks now.  We got it in the town of Kerikeri at a farmers' market and though we've used it a lot, it keeps growing!  

We ditched our car once we got to Auckland, so this stuff came to our apartment in Auckland but we'll either use it or lose it here before our flight to Queenstown in a few days. 

Is that a traveling frying pan in the picture? Yes. Though our house in Waiheke was well stocked, it lacked a decent non-stick pan, so we bought one.  I'd normally leave it as a house gift, but with another week to go in a new place and eggs to fry, I took no chances.  
Have pan and fresh basil, will travel.
