The Civils Side of Life

Pizza Toast, Scrumptious

We have an unwritten rule in our house. If I work hard at the washing chores, Wedge is usually happy to cook me lavish meals each night. I like this little arrangement even if I do whine about it day-in-day-out (sorry Wedge). However there is a time when Wedge has other plans and I’m left to fend for myself.

In these desperate times I tend to fall back on my student days and keep things basic. I have mastered a range of healthy(ish), nutritious foods that include cheese-on-toast, toasted cheese, cheese toasties, cheese sandwich and many more…

Wednesday was one of these rare nights and I think I pushed my culinary skills to the limits when I made myself pizza toast. It was a clever combination of bread, cheese, tomato purée and a little turkey ham (it’s not Turkey and it’s not Ham…).

It was simple. Lightly toast the bread and then mix and match the tomato purée, cheese and turkey ham in combinations and quantities of your choice. Grill this masterpiece until the cheese has melted and serve immediately. You can add a little garnish of salt, pepper and sauces to suit your tastes.

It was yummie but I do prefer the well balanced diet that Wedge provides me.

Mountain of Fudge

When it comes to the kitchen I have no creative skills. I can cook a meal as long as I don’t have to make anything from scratch. Yes this means that most of my meals are cheese-on-toast, who wouldn’t be happy living off cheese-on-toast, or simple things thrown together without much thought. 

A few months back I did discover that I could make fudge. And I enjoyed making fudge. Yes it does only have 6 ingredients and one of those is the flavouring but you do need to get it right to create the perfect fudge. This all came about following a rare urge to be both creative and use the kitchen, looking back on that day it was mostly luck.
