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.

Avocado. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways… Was Elizabeth Barrett Browning writing about one of my favourite foods? Probably not, but I will pretend she was, because I love it on salads, in guacamole, in wraps, in pasta, with a spoon, and on and on. Today, an everlasting love affair between avocado and tomato continues, in sandwich form.

Toasted GF bread slathered with mayonnaise, topped with tomato, avocado, and purple onion. A generous sprinkling of cayenne pepper adds some spice and a whole lot of deliciousness.
