I think, in life, sometimes, there is nothing better than a well made soup or sandwich.

The sassbombamazoniangoddess classytart kinda dared me to post each day of this week as a purity test for my LJ rehab, so even though I'm tired and my brain is mushed potato, there is nothing so simple and rewarding-for-all than a question or two. Which are; 1. If there

I am, it seems, capable of becoming sick of just about anything. Even peanut butter, which is shocking. (I believe I have told you my various stories of the early childhood and strong feelings about food. There is a rather dramatic incident my mother likes to recount about my five-year-old devastation resulting from the lack of peanut butter and jelly sandwich.)

There is a sandwich which will live in my memory always. It was created by Laura's evil ex-girlfriend, who was not evil at the time. She was also an incredible cook, professionally trained. She made us the sandwiches-some sort of very fresh amazing bread, grilled vegetables of many sorts. I remember Z. Keeney, portobello mushrooms, other squash, I don't even know. Lots of vegetables that squished out the sides when you take a bite. Some very fresh buffalo mozzarella I think, some seasoning, and balsamic clinic or. Vinegar, rather.

I got lost in sandwich reveries and forgot the rest of the questions. Forgive me.

Soup? Easy. Chicken tortilla soup, made by you. Occasionally I'll have fantasies about French onion soup-it's that massive blob of cheese, and onions cooked until they are sweetness if the emphasis.

Usual apologies about the dictation software screwup's. And apostrophes in wrong places which drive me mad.

That sandwich Laura's evil ex-girlfriend made sounds shockingly similar to sandwiches I've had in Melbourne. Grilled vegetables on foccacia or ciabata bread are so, so good, especially with goat cheese or some other soft cheese. Mmm, now thinking about paninis, and am in your sandwich reverie.

I still need to make you French Onion soup - it's one of my favourites too. I think I keep putting it off because it requires *assemblage*, which is something that may not be possible when you need/want it.

P.S. Stop apologising for your dictation robot - it's perfectly legible honey.

if you ever find similar sandwiches in Chicago, I would be very interested to hear, dairy avoidance be damned. I know there are some good vegetarian sandwiches out there-my mother brought me a fantastic one from some place in Lincoln Park. She had no idea where. Back in the day, when I worked in a brewery in the suburbs, we had a vegetarian sandwich that was really good too. Places out of business now though.

And yes, the assembly of French onion soup means that it should be a treat rather than something in my fridge.
