We had leftover turkey roast and vegetables to use up. Jac bought a bag of fresh bread rolls and I made us turkey and salad rolls for lunch. I made us each two rolls: – one “plain”: turkey, lettuce and mayonnaise – one “roast turkey special”: turkey, roasted sweet potato, cranberry sauce, lettuce and mayonnaise […
Jac bought a bag of fresh multigrain bread rolls, so I used last of the turkey thigh roast to make us turkey and salad rolls for lunch. In roll number one: turkey, autumn fruit chutney, Kewpie mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato. Jac bought a jar of homemade autumn fruit chutney from a weekend market when she […]
I packed this breakfast for myself one morning recently- it was a kind of breakfast bento, I guess – I took it to work and ate it at my desk as I read my emails and started my work day. I’d made myself toasted sandwiches – two with honey-glazed ham, mushrooms and mayonnaise, one with […]

During the week leading up to Easter, I had a buttered toasted hot cross bun for breakfast. Jac toasted the buns under the grill so that they were slightly crisp on the outside but soft on the inside and still quite chewy, just how I like them. See the hint of something (white with reddish […]
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 […]

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.
