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.

Lunch was nothing new, crazy or super exciting today. Just some old favourites piled together warmed up with cheese and topped with lots and lots of fresh ground black pepper. Black pepper is one of those spices we take for granted. It gets added to so many dishes without our even thinking about it it seems. This addition of pepper was a very deliberate one, and the more the better.
Toast with mayo, avocado, and tomato slices, topped with cheddar cheese and broiled until melty. Served warm with lots of fresh black pepper.

I had a hankering for sushi today, but not all the ingredients. What I did have, made for some yummy sort of sushi-esque hand rolls. My (probably obvious to everyone but me) tip of the day, is when checking to see how fresh the powdered wasabi is… don’t stick your nose right in the jar and take a big sniff. Enough said.
Leftover quinoa topped with avocado slices, pre-cooked baby shrimp and mayonnaise, all wrapped up in a sheet of nori. Served with a side of soy sauce and wasabi… for dipping… not sniffing.

Caramelization. Such a good word. Such a good thing to do to food. Taking the mundane and transforming it into sweet sticky goodness. My children don’t know ribs by their proper name… ribs in my house will forever be known as candy meat. We had ribs for dinner last night, and by some miracle, there were leftovers.
Toast with mayo bookends extra old cheddar cheese, mixed greens, tomato slices, and all of the leftover sweet, sticky candy meat.
