not all wine and roses

W
ith all the cool and exotic ingredients I have been posting lately you probably think that we are a pampered bunch around here and while the wish for that to be true is evident, the fact is we are not - I still get up and my assistant puts on my Pradas for me one foot at a time just like anyone else.



My son used to have a hard time in grade school during lunch time since he had more 'custom' made lunches that differed significantly from the average peanut butter and jelly (pb&j) of his classmates. This conflict was so severe that he often asked me to 'just leave out dessert' since it was usually the sweets that threw the other kids into a lunch grabbing frenzy.



When it gets colder soups kick in but until then its a sandwich, in this case nice and rare roast beef with a little DUDEK mustard from my good friend Buffalodick, a little thinly sliced onion and some farmhouse cheddar that all gets drizzled with a little vinegar and oil and fresh black pepper - now thats a nice lunch!



Breakfast is, ironically, how I start my day - I know, a little cliche, but I cant figure out any other way. I have made it pretty clear how much I like eggs and an egg sandwich fits the bill.



Toasted english muffin with bacon, egg, cheese, tomato, and fresh mayo are partners in crime, and you? How do you put on your Pradas?

Three more posts till I hit 1000 - I had planned on presenting the best of those 1000 and I realized I havent had that one yet so who knows what will happen - chances are it will be a day like any other day. Happy Gridlock Alert Days! NYC has that as one of hour holiday alerts......(not the happy part but the warning part)...I wear size 10 -10.5, 43 european if anyone wants to buy me some sensible shoes.

I'm out of my supply of Dudeks! You gave me two good reasons to hit the meat market- Sliced roast beast, and more mustard!

snugs said...

I want that sandwich..

Admin said...

Wish I could answer the question, but I can't afford Prada (or an assistant, for that matter). We're so different, Christo. :-(

Well, at least we both like eggs. :-)

Christo Gonzales said...

buff: it IS a tasty mustard! Thanks again.

snugs: yeah...and?

leela: I dont think we're that different - we both have vivid imaginations

Marjie said...

I'll take wine and roses, or chocolate and roses. Or just that sandwich, minus the onions.

That sandwich sounds good for lunch! I saw the picture of shoes and thought of Charlie Chaplin :)

you have lucky kids... My mother ruined P&J... no one would trade... ever

The Diva on a Diet said...

I agree, your kid is mighty lucky! And, I guess I'm cliche too ... I loves me some breakfast, especially in the form of an egg sandwich. Hold the mayo on mine and add butter!

Jenn said...

Can I fly you over here to make my lunches?

tavolini said...

Three more posts!! Woo hoo!!! We shall have to toast in your honor :)

Sandwich looks top notch. I don't need prada, but I certainly wouldn't balk at an assistant!

Oh, that rb sammie...drool.

vanillasugarblog said...

you know if those shoes come in a size 16 or 17 they would be mini skiis. just a thought...

Pavithra Elangovan said...

Oh I missed sooooooooooo many posts of everyone.. the sandwich looks good.

Christina said...

Wow 1,000 posts! Congrats, that's remarkable! I remember the kids used to give me crap b/c my mom would put alfalfa sprouts in my wraps or pitas - not quite a PB&J blend-in. hehe

Sweta (My Indian Dietitian) said...

Handsome shoes and even better looking sandwich!! Can't wait to read your 1000th post :)

Lauren said...

Ah, I'm more of a jimmy choo girl myself. ;)

That sandwich looks awesome. And I was always the same way in school. I hated normal kid food. My lunches rocked. (Luckily I had a great Mom who was willing to make them for me!)

The Duo Dishes said...

You are almost there! Will there be eggs to celebrate?

Melody said...

I need to get more creative with lunches. For me it's all about what's quick and what's in the pantry. That sandwich looks amazing!

Jeanne Estridge said...

I made a salmon quiche for dinner today.

Just so you know....

CreativeMish said...

Those sandwiches look delish! Oh! and by the way.. I wear my Prada's everywhere. You may not see them but... I'm Prada the way I live! :)

If Prada made a pair of walking shoes, I might consider, but I just know they would cripple my pitiful flat feet.

You can pack my lunchbox, anytime!

The Blonde Duck said...

I love breakfast sandwiches! I haven't had one in so long!

teresa said...

that is some good looking food, happy holidays!

My boyfriend and I always talk about how our kids will grow up eating exotic type foods. And they will definitely have the best lunch boxes in school too!

Dana Fallentine said...

OKAY - Wow! The shiny black shoes are what leaves the lasting image in my head! The food looks great!

Angel said...

your Pradas are in the mail Dog....Merry christmas!!! XOXOX

Nutmeg Nanny said...

Man I really need a sandwich right now. I'm starving! Also congrats on being so close to 1000 :)

Stacey Snacks said...

My assistant is very spoiled, he, like your son, always has a gourmet lunch packed for school.....all the kids on the block are jealous!
(no truffles, though!).

Great looking shoes. Gimme that sandwich!!

Lea Ann said...

YUM. Both of these sandwiches look DElicious! Gotta have that roast beef now but I don't have the ingredients on hand. But I do have everything to make that egg sandwich for breakfast.

Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchen said...

What wonderful lunches you make your son. He's lucky. Personally I never cared for the PB&J myself. My mother made home-made mayonnaise every week and, as a child, I didn't know it also came in a jar from the store.

1000 - wow, I'm not sure I can count that high in blogger terms. Congratulations. As for the Prada shoes, "everyone should have a few good things." At least that's what I tell my husband when I admire the David Yurman jewelry at Saks.

Happy holidays,
Sam

Cynthia said...

I wished you could have packed my lunch for school!

My son packs his pb & agave nectar but probably tells everyone it's honey. I'm buying my husband new shoes, you're out of luck.
