I have been noticing a distinct lack of greens and freshness in my food lately. Cold weather makes me crave carbs, and fat, and salt, and well, maybe it’s not just the cold that does that, but that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Long story short, my body screamed “Eat something green!”, when I went to make lunch today.

Teeny tiny broccoli florets, dried cranberries, and pine nuts, tossed in a dressing made of a dollop of mayo, a splash of apple cider vinegar, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. The greens I was craving, with a wee bit of fat and salt. The best of both worlds.

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.
