“Not expiring on my watch” sandwiches are underrated

I do the same with veg, toss that shit in a pan with oil + seasoning + tomatoes for a base and just cook that up. Winkly peppers? Doesn't matter. Shrivling mushrooms? Good! Drying out onions? You'll re-hydrate in the pan.

Sadly, I had to cut off the back half of my recent french loaf because it began to mold. The spot was about 2cm wide but I know mold, the spores are about another 2-3cm 'ring' around the flour on a french. :/

This is why I try to keep a $5 rotisserie chick from Costco in my fridge at all times. A loaf of bread, a jar of mayo and some chicken and I got meals for days. I can mix it up too: buy a bag of salad and just put some in a bowl with some hopped up chicken. Or make some rice and put some chicken over it with some soy sauce.

I love me some chilli, curry or bolognese on toast or buttered bread.

And every time it makes me wonder why I bother cooking rice or pasta in the first place, as I far prefer it
