Sandwich party: the morning after*

And yet more food talk... Another blog I follow - and comment on - regularly, although not a food blog per se, spurred an interesting thread (a.k.a. internet conversation) on the merits of the pim(i)ento cheese sandwich.

Inspired in part by the enthusiastic international response (readers on 3 continents attempting to find local ingredients to make their own version of the pimiento cheese sandwich, yours truly included), it's now turned into a Sandwich Party.

I had a very busy weekend, what with narrowly escaping death-by-falling-giant-tree-branch, cycling in perpetual head winds, catching up on research and gardening hours and getting lost on my way to a friend's house, and missed the official 'Sunday night' deadline. So once more, I thank my good star for being on the other side of the date-change line and submit late, yet on time. ;)

Monday Morning Brioche French Toast and Fresh Strawberries With Balsamic Marinade Sandwich.
ingredients:
- strawberries, one or two punnets
- sugar, a handful
- balsamic vinegar
- brioche bread, two thick slices
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- nutmeg

1. Cut the strawberries in halves or quarters, toss in a bowl with a little sugar and balsamic vinegar, cover and leave in the fridge a few hours/overnight.
2. Beat the eggs, milk, vanilla and a little grated nutmeg. Soak brioche in the mix until completely absorbed (3-4 minutes)
3. Heat a pan over medium heat with a little butter, add the soaked brioche, cook until golden on both sides, turning once.
4. Serve with the balsamic strawberries, a side of fruit or some fresh cream.
5. Enjoy a decadent, yet healthy (if you go the no-cream route) breakie sandwich!

* I'm sure it's also great with a hangover, if you have the energy to make it.

That meal is indescribably gorgeous and enticing. I'm so glad you avoided death by lumber, and survived to make breakfast!

No wonder Europe gets all its fruit from New Zealand this time of year. That looks wonderful!

Erik: indeed! summer is finally starting and it's a tasty season in NZ. The strawberries - some of the first field strawberries of the year - and apricots are from near Christchurch. But not the mango... it's not that hot around these parts.

Elsa and Jagosaurus: thanks!

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.wilantion.ru]Viagra 100mg pills[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
