![I just rediscovered my forgotten old Zeiss Contax 50mm 1.4, made semi compatible with my Canon by a cheapie adaptor. Neglected because impossible to focus accurately manually through the viewfinder of a DSLR, but now made useable again by LiveView function. The best of old and new tech. Welcome back dreamy creamy blur.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTSDskxEJFUNgxTi079PzKotjGdot3gyQnxrYgZm77opDTz1ohhebXPjgTBcxPiTUdsaUBf1MCK-KIIRetU8Otj39cvHYKWHqq6UyVOm8xOsfmhCL2sBI7x29UG_1RTbQp2WqVOHdbdfM/s1600/breakfast-at-The-Annex-Kalk-Bay-photo-Donovan-Kirkwood.jpg)
Omelettes and scrambled eggs are the true test of a good cook. Utterly simple, but demanding full attention and perfect timing. Wonderful or inedible only seconds in either direction. If I had to criticise, I'd say the plate could have been warmer. But the scrambled eggs and salmon were so good that they didn't really have a chance to get cold.
Reliably good food, reasonable prices, great staff, and set in the courtyard of a beautifully restored sandstone building behind the bookshop. The Annex has become our favourite eating spot in Kalk Bay.
