I found a sad and lonely hamburger patty in the freezer. The last of its batch, freezer burn setting in.  It could have been a very depressing lunch. Bland and beige. But I teamed it up with some excellent toppings and it was a burger fit for a queen.

Broiled patty on a bed of shredded romaine, on a bed of melted old cheddar, on a bed of toasted bread. Sloppy chopped tomatoes mashed into a slathering of mayonnaise and gobs of horseradish mustard. Juicy burger goodness running down my wrists.

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.
