While I was preparing a spinach, peppers, mushrooms and goat cheese sandwich one not-so-cold day in November of 2009, I came across these cooking fiends...it was so hard to part ways afterward (aka they were eaten with gusto!) And even harder after I named them @~@
This first one, a red pepper fiend, is aptly named Crackers. "Crackers?" you ask? Don't ask. The process of naming pet plants and random food fiends is too exhausting to relate at this hour...perhaps at some future date? In any case, here's the poor, poor fellow:
Meet Howl, my second chum!
And last but not least, Gumption!
Have I succeeded in frightening you yet? Well, I suppose they are much too cute to garner any sort of fear from you, and they were, sadly, eaten @~@ In any case, let me relate to you their travels from produce to stomach:Ingredients:
rye bread
goat cheese
spinach, washed and steamed
mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button ones are cheapest and still tasty)
red peppers, sliced length-wise
Optional Variations:
eggplant, sliced
sun-dried tomatoes
Spread a generous amount of goat cheese on one slice of rye bread and add toppings of choice. Top off with the other rye bread slice, grill and voila! A lovely, hearty, tasty sandwich!
