Quick and Dirty- thats' what she said

Howdy, y'all.

No, I am not in Texas anymore, silly gooses... or silly geese. Whatever. I am just extending friendly words for visiting. Hope y'all come back now!

Anyway, enough stereotyping and bad humor, it's time for a quick blog about a little something I made last night. It took like, 7 minutes total and was made by ingredients I had lying around!

So, I took a scali roll (a small roll from Walmart of all places that is like a dense croissant) and split it. I drizzled some olive oil, and sliced a few chunks of Jarlsburg Swiss on it. Jarlsburg is a mild Swiss; it melts well and is creamy with a good amount of that Swiss "bite" to it. I also have a jar of portabella mushrooms sliced with roasted red pepper and garlic in an oil/vinegar brine. They're pretty good. I did one side with the mushroom mix, the other with the cheese chunks, and put it on my pizzazz.

Now, I will tell you that the pizzazz is pretty sweet. It doesn't cook as well as the oven, but it's quick and efficient for browning where as we all know a microwave lacks. So after about 5 minutes on the pizzazz the cheese was melting and the sandwich edges were browning, so I plated it and closed it to let it melt together and meld in flavor. It was balanced in ingredients, the vinegar gave it a good bite while the cheese evened it out. The bread is pretty good for Walmart bread, and it baked up well.

I am not going to update with every sandwich I make, but I thought that this was a good example of throwing a few items together and making a good and quick meal. Explore your kitchens, use up some old stuff, spice away, and have fun experimenting. Coming up with good stuff is satisfying.

Anyways, thanks for reading! Later, y'all.
