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.

My mama came to help us with moving in part two. We’ve been here a month and things are finding their places. Or getting tossed. Be functional… or so awesome you can justify your space in my cozy little nest… or get the hell out of my house. The clunky old table 300 pound table is gone. Mama got us a brand new, astonishingly white, shiny, and bright kitchen table. We’ll see how long that lasts, and until then it will be the backdrop to my lunchtime ramblings. Mama also left some homemade potato and leek soup.
If my mom didn’t leave any soup in your fridge, see if there’s a can, or jar, or pot of soup anywhere nearby. Add some garlic croutons, finely chopped chives, and fresh ground black pepper. They pretty much go with everything. Sit down at a new table and enjoy the view. And of course the soup.

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.

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.
