Red Pesto Millet

I’ve created a kind of a routine for myself. Once a week I eat out. Not in a restaurant, but in a nature. There’s a magic in eating in nature and I mean it. Each time I prepare breakfast in the evening and I know that I’ll have to get up at 4-4:30 am , it makes me excited. I know that there will be a colourful sky involved, that I’ll drive outside of Berlin and there will be hardly any cars and that I’ll eat in a beautiful location.

Whenever I am planning another breakfast outside, I have hundreds of pictures in my head. I imagine having it in a forest, in between fields, on a beach… I think it’s a summer thing. This time I’ve found a perfect location next to a field. It was one of these accidental discoveries, I saw it and it made me stop my car. But it was a week ago. It took me about an hour to find it again, bummer. I usually take a table and chairs, I actually carry them in a truck of my car constantly lately. This time there was no use for them. Just a blanket, pillows and what was already there. The only thing I didn’t predict were 12*C, which didn’t go well with a cold brew. Who would think that in July, when there’s 25*C during a day, it will be so cold in a morning.

It was wonderful anyway, so refreshing, helps to clear a head. There’s no computer, no music, just nature around. Kind of back to basics. We all need it from time to time, don’t we.

This time I made something really easy – breakfast in a jar. I mixed millet with red pesto (homemade one is amazing!), added baby salad, feta, tomatoes, boiled egg and wow! The magic happened!
