20240418 #breakfastdiary 1036, 13°C/sunny, 21 min/workout(T) A 'ballon d'essai' was originally a meteorological term for a test balloon or observation balloon sent up to measure weather conditions, but it now refers to an opinion or piece of information floated to gauge public sentiment. Even so, it still has to match the context and circumstances to some degree, or else it just becomes an obvious bluff that everyone sees through. - #asparagus #pistachio salad with burrata cheese and mint Heat olive oil in a pan, add a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper, and grill the asparagus. In a bowl, combine the asparagus, half-moon-sliced cucumber, chopped almonds, and mint with a vinaigrette-plus dressing (vinaigrette with added lemon juice and honey), and mix well. Plate it, split open the burrata cheese, and top with olive oil and chopped pistachio~ Referenced a recipe from @tanerxatdin. It tastes a bit bland, so I think adding the kiwi from the original recipe, and shallot to the dressing, would finally complete the flavor 🥲
