Cream cheese toasts, orange juice

Avocado, grapefruit, yellow beet and aragula sandwich

This is my variation of a recipe from the fantastic 'Wichcraft sandwich cookbook. Followers of my Tweeter feed chose the recipe for me, in what I called "Russian Roulette Cooking". It was great - juicy, crispy, luscious. Next time, I will toast the bread and maybe add a few slices of crisped up proscuitto.
Leftover sandwich garnishes

Banana and peanut butter

Crackers, cream cheese, tomato juice

Skirt steak, roasted parsnips, spicy sour cream sauce

I made walnut pesto for tomorrow's sandwich, also from the 'Wichcraft book

It's basically a cup and a half of toasted walnut blitzed in the mixer with a pinch of sea salt and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. It's rich, earthy and salty. I bet it would be good with brown butter and sage on a ricotta and pumpkin ravioli.

I also made blueberry muffins using this recipe



And then I ate two while watching Million Dollar Listings.


Oh, shut up. You know you watch it too.

I have the flu so I worked from home to spare my coworkers my viral self. Also, it's more polite to be at home when you stuff your nose with tissues and spread Vaseline under it.

Peanut butter toast

Fruité fake orange drink

I bought a 2L bottle last night and it was empty by mid-morning. It's my "comfort drink" of choice when have a flu.

Ham sandwich with pickles

Spaghetti with meat sauce

Nutella toast

I made roasted pepper sauce from scratch to use on meat and pasta.

You just drop the peeled roasted peppers in a blender with a few garlic cloves, salt, pepper and a pinch of Parmesan. Then you blitz it all and drizzle in a few tablespoons of olive oil with the blender still working until it emulsify a bit.
