Today I stayed home from work with stomach issues. Gleh.

Oven sammiches again.

good bread
roasted red pepper
spinach
mushroom
olive oil
salt and pepper
cheese if you want

Before:
If you need to roast your pepper, stick it on a cookie sheet under the broiler. Rotate it every few minutes to get it evenly blackened. Then take it out and put it in a closed container to get the skin steamed off. After a couple of minutes, take it out, let it cool, and flake the skin off with your fingers. Cut the pepper into big segments; chuck the seeds and stem.

Ok.

Cut up some bread. Cover each piece with slices of pepper. Then add some well-washed raw spinach. Then add some chopped mushrooms. Then add some cheese if you want cheese. Practically any white cheese will work, as long as it melts well. I had the end of the hard goat cheese from the other day. Mozzarella or provolone would be standard; parmesan or romano would work. Whatever you want. Oven sammiches are also clearly good without cheese. Then add salt, pepper, and a little olive oil.

Put everything on a cookie sheet and stick it under the broiler. Watch the pan so nothing fries to death; turn it if you need to. As soon as the cheese is melty and golden brown, and the mushrooms etc are clearly shriveled and cooked, take everything out. Give it a minute, so you don't take off the entire roof of your mouth, then eat it.

After:
This kind of thing is clearly my standard for nights with no energy. Tonight is a night with no energy. Of course, I also have a nice person here who just made me a big bowl of scratch roux-based mac and cheese.
