I’m restricting my kitchen stock-up as I have a tendency to hoard and forget about foods in my cupboard or fridge. So I’m pushing the ingredients I do have to the max rather than running out to spend money I don’t have.
Which meant that today I made a delicious sandwich.
Toasted turkish bread (from the freezer).
Avocado. Tomato. Mushrooms. Grated Carrot. Lettuce. Salt and Pepper.
None of which are particularly unusual.
But then I added some tofu I’d previously cooked up with sesame oil, tom yum paste and sweet chilli sauce to the pile. And spread “Happy” satay sauce on the top slice of bread.
The remaining ingredients are calling my name from the kitchen. But I have a C.V. I should be updating and dinner (Awesome Sandwich Part II) to eat in a couple of hours.
Hey Pippa,
How are you? We miss you here in Helsinki. I feel boring and almost feeling a breakup with Zuzana is on the rise.
You should do what they do on the show Iron Chef. Figure out what to make from anything you have in your fridge. I can usually make something with three items. It can get very very creative.
do you know what? sandwiches are ALL i do in the kitchen these days. nothing more. admittedly i can make a pretty mean sandwich, but gone are the days of attempting anything more adventurous than that. i don’t even keep ingredients anymore — all i’ve got in the pantry right now are pasta and chickpeas, but at least they’re organic. oh, a handful of spices too.
anyway.
