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.

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.

Rocket, rocket, rocket! Or arugula, if you must, but rocket just sounds like more fun. Years ago, I would accidentally encounter it, buried in mixed greens, but it wasn’t until I spent some time in England and then South Africa, that I discovered it was a green all of its own! And, they call it rocket. How can you beat that?

GF bread as usual, with slices of brie on both pieces, one topped with thinly sliced, very ripe Rocha pear. Add a pile of rocket, close it up, and throw it in the sandwich press. Melted brie, jammy pear and zippy rocket… mmmm.

New camera! So exciting! A lot to read and learn, it’s like having an iPad built into a camera. Way too much fun.
My usually absent camera assistant was waiting patiently to try and steal my lunch. Toasted GF bread, thick cream cheese, purple onion shaved paper-thin, lox, capers, and lots of fresh ground black pepper. A side salad of halved cherry tomatoes with balsamic dressing.
I didn’t share.

This is my last iPad lunch photo! I am so very excited to have a new toy. I haven’t bought myself a new camera since my pre-children days, and just to date myself, digital cameras were new back then. Sigh.
I rushed to the store this morning, found my match, ran home so very excited to play with my new baby… and now… I wait… for the battery… to charge. Ah well.
So iPad, thanks for the pictures but I’m afraid I have to let you go. You are exiting with a cheese and tomato sandwich on GF bread. Mayo, mustard, greens and black pepper. Pickles on the side.
