Anyway....the RV means we can at least get a way for a bit. It's self-contained so it's our own bed and kitchen. Even if other states allowed us to visit I would be wary of staying in a hotel right now. Another dog walking couple we see at the park regularly told us they can't make their annual trip west this year. The lady told us they tried to get hotel reservations and as soon as they mentioned they were in Florida they were told they couldn't accept their reservation.
I honestly don't blame them. If you remember a while back Florida was keeping folks from Jersey and NY out, or asking them to quarentine for 2 weeks. Now we are the hotbed - we have poor leadership here. I digress....
Let's talk lunch! It's an easy lunch you can make at home or on the road. Do I post a recipe for this? Nope - it's dead simple.
Slice up tomato and avocado, layer on bread and place a cheese slice firmly on the veggies/fruit to keep them from sliding out. Butter bread and grill in a skillet.
This is vegetarian but you can obviously add any of your favorite ingredients like bacon. Oh, mushrooms would work for me too...or grilled or carmelized onions.
Next time...............
Some humor. I guess. Don’t get all offended, I’m in Florida!

Why have I never heard of this particular combination on a cheese melt before? It sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeff! It's a quick lunch and delicous.
DeleteThat looks and sounds like perfect comfort food when you can't do what you want, when you want, where you want these days. At least you can EAT what you want!
ReplyDeleteStacy, that's true! We'd love to go somewhere but while we can't, we can create yummy lunches :-)
DeleteIt's hours until breakfast. I could still eat one now. And I nver eat in the middle of the night. I love toasted cheese!
ReplyDeletebe well... maefood.blogspot.com
Mae, it could be a good breakfast sandwich too.
DeleteHahahaha, My first thought was that bacon would be an awesome addition!!! I made a variation of grilled cheese this week too.
ReplyDeleteGrilled or pressed sandwiches are so good. If we had room in the kitchen I would love a good sized panini press.
DeleteA sandwich is perfect in this very hot weather we have been having in Pennsylvania. I am a Florida resident but live in Pennsylvania (our home) for 5 months of the year!
ReplyDeleteJudee, it's always better to have light foods in the summer and this sandwich is filling and warm enough without feeling heavy. Having said that, I would love a hoagie from my childhood Steak and Hoagie joint!
DeleteI could make the exact same comments about my state, Texas. Although the governor (finally!) required masks.
ReplyDeleteI would love a sandwich like this. I'm a big fan of avocado and tomatoes.
I hear ya, Deb. Those of us with common sense will, hopefully, prevail.
DeleteWell, I think NY should be in that final picture Tina. And, I won't even get into the masks fiasco. Your sandwich is one of my favorites too. Always good. And, BTW, I finally tasted that black vinegar. Amazing, with a fine flavor. I added to my post in the interest of culinary science.
ReplyDeleteClaudia, thanks for the vinegar Intel. I'm thinking an Asian market might have it but I dont venture out much.
DeleteNY would certainly feature in that comic but I didn't create it. Pandemic humor, I need it right now. As for masks, we always wear them out. I know some think that virus isn't a problem... until someone in their family is taken down by it.
This vegetarian is happy.
ReplyDeleteShaheen, I'm glad and love your garden and website!
DeleteThat sandwich looks delicious! I love anything with avocado and tomato.
ReplyDeleteWe hope to get out on the road in our RV in September. Just a few short trips along the Oregon coast and into Washington. We want to stay pretty close to home since my mom will be alone while we're away (she's 87).
Les, we are planning a short trip in August. It will still be hot but it's been ages since we have gotten away. We are staying in Florida for now. I see what you mean about not venturing too far.
DeleteOh, great idea about adding crab to the sandwich. Crab and bacon!
Just thought of another addition to your sandwich. Fresh crab! Mmmm.
ReplyDeleteIt is the same for us here in Victoria in Australia. We are not welcome in any of the other states at the moment, even if we were allowed to leave the house, which we aren't really at the moment.
ReplyDeleteMarg, I think you are in the same shape as we are in Florida. Doug and I can travel within Florida but honestly, we just stay home and get the dog out to the park. I think we will feel safe camping next month as you can put distance between folks.
ReplyDeleteIf I could ever find a decent tomato...
ReplyDeleteJinger, I know what you mean. It's too hot to grow any now.
DeleteThat sandwich looks so delicious! It is in the round up this week--thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDeb, Glad your computer is fixed now! Even happier hurricane Douglas skirted your island!
