So. My first foray into cooking my blues away was an adult take on the quintessential comfort food, the grilled cheese sandwich. This was a whim when I began, but I think im going to make it a weekly thing. Who doesnt need a little comfort every now and again. I bought the ingredients at the store while doing a good deed for a good people, then went home- opened something refreshing and got to work.
The first step, I think to all my cooking ventures from here forward, was to make Alexa the DJ. She knows where all the music I like is, and even has some pretty good selections all her own. (Once I caught her playing a list of my favorite songs, and I dont know how she found them…) But yeah, she knows her craft and between Buffalo Bayou brewery’s Summer Wit and her musical accompaniment I was good to go. First sandwich off the line was:
Smoked Gouda and Swiss grilled cheese w/ tomato, seared basil and bacon on rye sourdough.
It was pretty damned delicious. I had a photo but I dont have it on me, I probably ate that too because damn. And it let me get away from some of the heavier things Im thinking about this week- if just for a little bit. Being able to focus in the kitchen is definitely a thing. And yes- grilled cheese every week. Next week is still coming together as an idea, but Im thinking Jalapeno muenster cheese w/ pear slices and mint[something something] on [insert bread choice here]. It’s a working title. Dont judge me. Or do. I gave all my fucks at the office.
