Irish Heritage

Jason has Irish ancestry. Sometimes, when I ask really nicely, he'll talk with an "Irish" accent (bogus) - which I very much enjoy hearing. Tonight, he made colcannon soup. I don't have the pronunciation done, so it's good that this is typed. The soup is a combination of cabbage, potatoes, onion and leeks with bacon and chives as a garnish. He substituted in green onions for the chives since they were on hand. I made a grilled cheese sandwich with a little Tillamook cheddar as a companion piece and had a bottle of Bedford's Ginger Beer to drink. Bedford's is a soda company out of Port Angeles, Washington where I lived last year. P.S. I didn't take the time to bake bread for the sandwich and yes I do feel a little guilty using store bought. In my defense, it needed to be used up.

Okonomiyaki is a Wonderful Word

So many syllables! Okonomiyaki, also called a Japanese pancake, is both fun to say and a pleasure to eat. Basically, it's cabbage plus batter and what could be a variety of toppings and ingredients. Ours contained cabbage, carrots, zucchini, and green onions. They were topped with mayo, Worcestershire sauce, bacon and a sprinkling of green onion.

Sandwich Week! Day 7

Last sandwich of the week is breakfast for dinner. We have provolone cheese, 

egg and bacon on a square cream biscuit.

With so many more wonderful sandwiches to explore, I think a "Sandwich Week" 

revisited will certainly be in our future. Don't you agree?
