Ruts, grooves, patterns. Not bad things in and of themselves, but sometimes, when they get too deep, things need a bit of a shakeup. Toss the deck into the air, and see what new pattern appears. It’s good for your soul. My lunch today is pretty much the same as so many sandwiches before it, but the intentions and thoughts behind it are new. A fresh start with tried and true ingredients.
Toasted bread, mayo, mayo, mayo, sliced tomatoes, avocado, and extra old cheddar, a pile of greens, and a serious sprinkling of cayenne to spice up an old favourite.

I’m not sure what it is about this flavour combination that says comfort food to me but it does. There are so many dishes you could make with these same ingredients, but a long time favourite is a simple, and nearly perfect (bacon could perhaps better it) sandwich.
Two pieces of soft bread toasted lightly, slathered with mayo and given a generous sprinkling of cayenne pepper. One slice topped with iceberg lettuce and avocado, the other with thinly sliced tomatoes and extra old cheddar cheese. Freshly ground black pepper on everything and yum.

It is the fault of the cold weather. I have difficulty eating fresh vegetables when the ridiculously cold weather screams “Hibernate! Stuff your cheeks with calorie-packed goodness and go to sleep! I’ll wake you when it warms up.”. I listen to these histrionics all too easily, and then find myself deprived and craving greens.
Fill a large bowl with a bag of rocket, shredded carrot, quartered cherry tomatoes and diced avocado. If it’s really cold out, add some goat cheese so you don’t starve while tucked under the blankets waiting for spring.

Lunch was nothing new, crazy or super exciting today. Just some old favourites piled together warmed up with cheese and topped with lots and lots of fresh ground black pepper. Black pepper is one of those spices we take for granted. It gets added to so many dishes without our even thinking about it it seems. This addition of pepper was a very deliberate one, and the more the better.
Toast with mayo, avocado, and tomato slices, topped with cheddar cheese and broiled until melty. Served warm with lots of fresh black pepper.

I had a hankering for sushi today, but not all the ingredients. What I did have, made for some yummy sort of sushi-esque hand rolls. My (probably obvious to everyone but me) tip of the day, is when checking to see how fresh the powdered wasabi is… don’t stick your nose right in the jar and take a big sniff. Enough said.
Leftover quinoa topped with avocado slices, pre-cooked baby shrimp and mayonnaise, all wrapped up in a sheet of nori. Served with a side of soy sauce and wasabi… for dipping… not sniffing.
