National Sandwich Day

Today was National Sandwich day! I am quite a fan of the sandwich, so I decided to celebrate with a creation that uses up leftover supplies from last night’s grilled cheese dinner.

There were a few pieces of Italian bread left, 2 slices of cheese, and some red onion. I couldn’t just have grilled cheese again and I was craving some protein, so I cooked 2 very small chicken breasts in a pan. I caramelized 2 big slices of red onion, then I assembled this delicious creation much like my grilled cheese yesterday, toasted it in a pan, and dove in…

Such deliciousness! I think the protein will help keep me “on the mend”, and besides, who really needs an excuse for melted cheese? I’m definitely satisfied, and have got to remember to stay up on my protein. With the exception of an egg in my breakfast, I hadn’t had much at all since Thursday!

I promise I’ll stop being boring soon… this whole being sick thing is taking a lot out of me. If it weren’t so difficult as a teacher to take days off, I’d have taken another sick day by now. For now, I’m just going to rest up, drink lots of tea, and try to get well.

In the meantime, while I’m being boring, enjoy my favorite Sesame Street clip:
