Crabby
No matter how much a long work week might make me feel, on a pleasant August evening in Maryland, feeling crabby can take on a whole new meaning.

Ham and cheese… pizza?
After I made the cordon bleu, I had leftover ham and Swiss cheese. Which for many people would mean delicious sandwiches in their future. But I’m not much for sandwiches, or cold foods in general (salads notwithstanding).*

What if I put the ham and some of the swiss onto the pizza, along with onions and peppers and pepperoni and mozzarella?
Outcome: Success!

* I would eat ham and cheese, warm on a crusty toasted baguette or as a panini on focaccia or ciabatta bread. But I didn’t have types of bread that would make those viable. So… pizza. Basically, turning it into hot food was the secret.

Back I go, to the stove, with renewed purpose. Continue reading “Kitchen-topia”
