It has been a while since we’ve lunched together. I have been eating plenty of meals but remiss with my tales… sidetracked by the this and thats of life. It is time to get back on track. Better food, better writing habits, and better lunch companions. It’s nice to see you again. Let’s do this again soon.
Last night’s dinner tossed with some fresh fixings makes a hearty salad. Leftover quinoa, romaine lettuce, heritage tomatoes, and cucumbers all tossed into a bowl. Topped with lots of fresh crumbled feta (because cheese) and lightly sprinkled with balsamic vinegar. Enjoyed in the sunshine with a puppy. Hope to see you again soon.

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.

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.
