It’s been ages! Life’s never-ending string of surprises sidetracked me for a while but I’m back. In my absence, I have given the website a bit of a sprucing up and I’m looking forward to sharing more food adventures. My waistline wants a break but we’ll do that gradually.
Thinly sliced square challah topped with slices of extra old cheddar, leftover fried mushrooms and put under the broiler until just melty. Seasoned with lots of freshly cracked black pepper and sprinkled with chopped arugula. Let’s meet again soon.

It’s December, and cold, and the sun is out, and the kids are barefoot in the backyard. Somehow it’s lunchtime already and I haven’t had breakfast. It doesn’t matter if it’s my morning or midday meal because it will be the same thing regardless. The same old same old cheese toast but with a fresh and crisp locale.
Bread toasted and topped with melty cheese. Extra old cheddar is my go-to. Topped again with cherry tomatoes and sprinkled with black pepper. Served today with a cup of extra strong coffee and a liberal dose of December sunshine.

Caramelization. Such a good word. Such a good thing to do to food. Taking the mundane and transforming it into sweet sticky goodness. My children don’t know ribs by their proper name… ribs in my house will forever be known as candy meat. We had ribs for dinner last night, and by some miracle, there were leftovers.
Toast with mayo bookends extra old cheddar cheese, mixed greens, tomato slices, and all of the leftover sweet, sticky candy meat.

What can I say… I am not a vegetarian. Was. But not now. Right now, I like flesh. And I like it rare. Leftover roast beast sandwich.
GF toast, lots of mayo, some hybrid tomatoes (that’s a whole other story), extra old cheddar, rocket, still mostly rare reheated roast beef, and a slathering of Maja’s Honey Mustard. She makes it on Manitoulin Island in small batches. This one has Riesling, honey, and orange rind, and I could see myself eating it by the spoonful. But first, I am going to eat this sandwich.

Had a sick kid home with me today. I got two episodes of Pink Panther’s worth of work done. Oh well, I brushed up on my hot glueing and bracelet making anyway!
I thought I’d warm up my feverish boy’s chills with a bowl of hearty veggie soup (out of a jar), slices of extra old cheddar, and GF Romano bean bread toast slathered in butter. I quite enjoyed my lunch, but the three-year-old requested some slight modifications… specifically, more cream cheese, on everything.
