Home Lunch

For a change.

The fixin’s:

Bologna

Just your run of the mill plain bologna (reduce fat and salt though). (I had to sing the song to get the spelling right, hee hee).

Roasted Beets

Thought I was back in the sixties (flashback time, hee hee). Where’s the black light?

Pickled Onions

More like macerated. Pinch of salt, three teaspoons of sugar, drizzle of apple cider vinegar. Sat in the ‘frig overnight.

Assembled at the office. Two slices of multi-grain bread, a light spread of mayo on one side, a light spread of butter on the other side. Wanted the spreads to be fairly neutral, anything stronger and the flavors would clash (in my opinion).

Bologna, roasted beets, “pickled onions”, and Japanese pickled ginger.

Stratified View

Sorry, the sandwich wasn’t cooperating for the close-up.

If I do say so myself, it was awesome. The flavors complimented each other, granted, it’s an acquired taste, but still awesome nonetheless. My own critique, I didn’t drain the onions enough, the sandwich got a little drippy at the end. And I’m not one for drippy sandwiches. Lesson learned.

Would I do this sandwich again? Most definitely.

For dessert, picked up some chocolates from the shop over the weekend.

Dark Chocolates

Mac nut caramel “Lava Rocks” on the left (bought this one), Aomori sake ganache bon-bon  on  the right (did not buy this one). There were slight cosmetic flaws on the sake chocolate, chefs couldn’t sell them, so we got them gratis (we’re not picky). The sake was strong in this one, in a good way.

So BLT, BLAT, now BBOG (not a stutter), Bologna, Beet, Onion, and Ginger. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.

Oh, before I forget, May the fourth be with you. Hee hee 🙂
