Bacon and egg sub

I craved something bacony and eggy for breakfast one morning. On impulse, I grabbed a bacon and egg sub from Subway in town. I bought a foot long sub and had it cut in half so I could share it with my workmate J. They toasted the bun and zapped the bacon and egg, wrapped […]

Dinner and bento – turkey steaks and roasted vegetables

DinnerThis was a delicious dinner of turkey steaks with mushroom gravy, steamed vegetables (broccoli and green beans) and roasted vegetables (butternut pumpkin, potato, sweet potato, onions and carrots).

These were the sandwiches I made: KFC mixed with aioli and Bavarian mustard, with spinach leaves KFC mixed with 97% fat free mayonnaise and Christmas chilli jam, with spinach leaves a kaya sandwich, for something sweet to […]

Reflections on a toasted sandwich

I’ll miss these mystery lunch bar toasted sandwiches when I leave… I love that the bread is buttered on the outside before being toasted in the sandwich press. The bread is toasted to an appealing golden-brown, has a delicious buttery flavour that’s finger-sucking good, and has a lovely crispy crust on the outside that feels [&hel…
