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.

Well, I started making a BLT. I had all the fixings. But I also had other fixings. And… it grew from there. Presenting my BSTA & M.
Toast slathered in mayo, piled high with baby spinach, leftover brunch bacon, avocado, and tomatoes. Black pepper, black pepper, black pepper, and topped with more mayo toast. Now, how do I make a BSTA & M sound as good as it tastes? Got some thinking to do.

My seven-year-old has very selective tastes in food. A few weeks ago, I offered her a bite of a tuna salad sandwich with (God forbid!) a wee bit of mayonnaise, onions and celery in it. I was completely prepared for full-body shivers, pleadings for water to wash her mouth, and an absolute rejection of ever trying anything with that many ingredients mixed up together again. Instead, I was floored with, smiles, and “Yum!”s, and pleadings for more. Will the wonders ever cease?
I made her a tuna salad sandwich today for school. One can of tuna, drained and mixed with a tiny dollop of mayo, as well as some finely chopped onion and red pepper. For the big person’s lunch, add extra everything to the leftover tuna salad. Extra mayo, extra onion, extra red pepper, salt, pepper, dried parsley. Make some toast, add more extra mayo (I might have a bit of a problem), and some baby spinach. Extra yum.
