Sandwich Soft Book
From The Spoonflower Fabric Designs Pool
Very cute. I can get sucked in just like the best of us. Babies, toddlers, kids. They are cute as buttons and we want them to eat right. And to eat well. And then they make you crazy. About 8 years in you think you will go mad – at least I do – from cooking so plain. Lord how I miss food with green specks.
Here’s how I cope. In your pantry you must keep these things:
Roasted pepper relish
Thinly sliced garlic slowly steeped in olive oil till golden
Red pepper flakes
Preserved lemons, minced
Sriracha
Anchovies mashed with mustard and lemon
And in the fridge it never hurts to have Italian parsley – just tear those leaves up and drop ’em all over your plate, basil – same thing, and horseradish.
Spoon, drizzle, sprinkle, smear these things liberally on foods so plain you want to cry – delicious until the 11148th time – such as mashed potatoes, pasta, pizza, eggs, grilled cheese, white rice and toast.
My not-so-secret kitchen survival tip #103.
