A Lethargic Lunch

Usually, I can't wait for lunch time. 12:00 on my watch symbolizes 2 hours of food, relaxation, and quite often a nice nap. Today, however I was dreading it. Going on three weeks of Avocado, cheese, pate, and tomato sandwiches. And Just today it got old. I walked to the house with my head hung low trying to figure out what else I could do... I scoured the fridge. 1/2 an avocado, butter, oh, and some pate. Yum. I slowly carried my "goodies" back to my room in hopes of finding just the perfect ingredient to pair with my worn out sandwich accomplices. Still pondering, I opened the freezer... oh I forgot the bread. I grabbed my freezer bread, just when the boss found me.

"Hey, do you need anything for lunch?"

'yeah, a twinkie, some Cheetos, a huge helping of my mom's home made spaghetti, don't forget the garlic bread....'

"Um... maybe a tomato?"

"Sure!"

I didn't bother asking for the cheese. I figured one day without it won't hurt. I get my tomato and head back to "the kitchen". hmmm.... what to do?

2 minute noodles?... I'd rather open a vein.
muesli? ...I did that for breakfast.
Marimite? .... I think I'll just starve.

But alas. I'm Italian. Starving is never an option. I think I'd saute my own arm in butter and garlic before I died of hunger. Not that that was a possible circumstance. I am certain that my body would live for at least a month (or 3) on it's own fat before I had to worry about croaking over.

However, I wouldn't like to start that experience today, so I pop my bread into the toaster.

They say a good chef can take any ingredients and whip them together in a special way to make something amazing! Well, here it goes....

Pate and avocado go into a bowl, with a bit of butter to add calories and a hint of ... whatever, I just threw it in because. Mix it all up. Tomato, in stead of getting finely sliced and placed neatly over the bread, like usual, gets chopped and also thrown into my concoction. A wee dash of salt and the toast popped up. I put my new spread onto my toast and ate it open faced.

And, it tasted like an avocado, tomato, pate... on toast! But at least the texture was different, and it looked a bit different too....


I'm just beside myself with excitement with what I'm going to come up with tomorrow...
