Tired Food

We’ve all had those nights, the ones where the day (or week, in this case) has really caught up with you. Forget blogging, getting into the kitchen to make something to eat seems to daunting, and going out to eat somewhere requires too much contact with the outside world. All you want to do is flop down on the couch, throw your arms up in the air and stop thinking and doing. This week has been an intense roller coaster of interviews, fun meetings and projects, life decisions, disappointments, fears, and excitement, and I definitely had a couple of nights where I couldn’t do anything else.

One day, we ordered from our local pizza place, Pantry Pizza, and the other day I used fridge staples to try to recreate a sandwich we had at a farmer’s market in Marin.

Not healthy, but oh-so-good, a bacon and egg grilled cheese made with turkey bacon and Kerrygold Killaree cheddar.

It was as easy as it sounds, a few slices of fried bacon, added to a couple of fried eggs.

On top of buttered slices of bread, topped with melted cheddar, heated on both sides until gooey and golden brown.

Simple. My other simple meal was a new favorite sandwich from Pantry Pizza, far too messy to photograph, a vegetable parmesan sub consisting of a whole bunch of vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and peppers, topped with tomato sauce and cheese, then stuffed with pickles, onions, lettuce and raw tomatoes. Amazing.

I am very ready for the weekend; it truly can not get here quickly enough.

How’s your week going? Do you ever have days where you feel so drained you can’t imagine doing anything?
