Some days it’s all about the presentation, and some days it’s all about getting it into your face ASAP.
Today was the latter. Toasted sourdough, slathered with cream cheese, topped with fresh cherry tomatoes, sprinkled with black pepper, and splatted with balsamic vinegar.
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.
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.
