Because of this ghastly heat and soul-wilting , hair-limping humidity (40F!!!), I have not been inspired to cook indoors.
I haven't been arsed to stand over a hot barbecue grill, either.
So, sandwiches and salads, it is!
But not just any sandwiches.
Please! I'm not some boring old hag...although I bear a sneaky resemblance to one when I look in the mirror on Sunday mornings.
I have a sandwich grill that doesn't emit a lot of heat, so I crank the air conditioner to "Hang Meat" setting, throw a wool sweater on and fire that sandwich grill up. Nothing says "fancy" like those brown grill marks across an artisan hunk of bread. Fill this bread with a good quality cheese from a country with happy cows with Swiss accents, a fistful of smoked butcher store meats, some homemade pickles (home made by someone else, preferably), a dollop of coarse grained mustard, some hoity toity bacon flavoured or curry flavoured mayonnaise and you've got the makings for a "party in your stomach".
People will not turn up their noses at these sandwiches.
If they do, I urge you to find new friends.
I found these snaps from Martha Stewart's website...
(You're welcome for the promotion, Martha. If you sue me, you won't get a cent from my estate as I am stone broke.)
This picture is from "Grilled Cheese Social" on Pinterest. Fabulous ideas!
It is the Thai-Inspired Breakfast Grilled Cheese, with avocado, egg, and sriracha
Remember chums...there are no boring sandwiches, only boring imaginations.
