Cookin again

[Zardnaar]

Been feeling kinda puny the past couple of days. My allergies have been using me as a punching bag. So I did myself some comfort food, a grilled ham & cheese on sourdough with a creamy tomato Florentine soup.

Do you have a hankering to visit NZ anytime soon?

I’ve thought about visiting the region more than once, TBH. But I usually thought more about Australia than NZ. But NZ has been getting some pretty good press the last decade or so.

This is low skill, low stress, high fat, high salt cooking, though. IOW, it was tasty.

But seriously, canned soup + milk + spinach & spices. Basic grilled H&C, but using 3 different cheeses (Colby Jack, sharp Cheddar & Swiss).

Problem with NZ is it's full of NZers.!!

I always suspect that Kiwis and Aussies are making everything up about their countries, but assuming this isn't a hoax, curry rolls sound good and I'd want to try a pineapple ring.

Wife's aunty ordered a curry roll.



I had chips, burger and a chop suey patty. Said patty.



Pattie, burger, chips

I’ve been eating some form of the combo of grilled cheese/ham & cheese with tomato soup since I was in 2nd grade. Maybe before. it was one of the first things I learned to cook, right after scrambled eggs.

Grilled cheese has been my latest obsession.

Nature's Own Perfectly Crafted White bread
One slice of American Cheese
One slice of Cheddar Cheese
Grated Parmesan for the outside.
Oh, and way more butter than I should be using!

I like the results I got using Oroweat Oatnut bread. It’s slightly sweet, and the included oats add a bit of crunch.

I used to be able to get a pan onion rye bread at one of the local groceries, and it made for excellent melts as well. But they stopped selling it years ago. I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere.

For cheeses, I usually want something melty and something sharp at a minimum. But a local French bakery/bistro makes a “BLT”: it’s a vegetarian melt with brie, lettuce and tomato. Overall, it’s a surprisingly good combo.

Ooh, I know that bread. Will give it a shot.

"BLT" does sound like a good combo!

Brie and camembert go on everything right?

Damn near!

Breakfast new menu at our favorite place that's 2-3 minute drive away. American waitress.



Waffles and fruit salad. American style with fried chicken and bacon was an option.
