Two-Minute Lunch... or Tomato, tomaaaaaahhhto.


It seems like today, everybody's time is comes at an absolute premium. We've got more work, less money, more responsibilities, and less time. In the spirit of time-saving, this will be a quick post, about a quick lunch. It's actually what I just had for lunch 5 minutes ago, that's how quick we're talking here. Like just about everything I make in the summer, it includes stuff from my garden, but good produce can be had from many places, especially this time of year. So let's waste no more time eh? I present:








Papa's Two-Minute BLT (Big Lovely Tomato) Sandwich

You will need:

1 glorious ripe tomato, the fresher and riper, the better. My sandwich was made of a big fat Roma I picked this morning.

2 tbsp cream cheese

A few leaves of lettuce

A squirt of yellow mustard

2 pieces of the lovely whole grainy bread of your choice


To make:

Pop the bread in the toaster. This is the most time intensive step, depending on how long your toaster takes to toast some toast.

Wash and slice up the tomato, wash your lettuce, etc.

When the toast pops up, spread the cream cheese while the toast is still hot, so it gets all gooey and creamy.

Add tomato slices over cheese, then pile on lettuce.

Top with a little mustard and CHOW DOWN.

You will likely have more tomato slices than will fit in one sandwich, but if you are anything like me, you will simple repeat these steps until it's gone. (2 sandwiches for me.)
