My initial doctor's appointment is tomorrow. Me being me, I'm completely dreading it. First, I'll have to drive into the city with only the GPS system and that's no substitute for Keith. Secondly...well, I'm just dreading it. Even though nothing is even going to happen. I'm simply going to pay money to sit in an office and talk about the tests that they'll take the next time I come in. If they even offer those tests.
Today I made tomato candy. I minced roasted red pepper and sweet onion. I added minced fresh lemon basil from my back deck. I mixed that into some mayo and dolloped it onto sliced tomato.
Another version of tomato candy: Slice tomato, sprinkle lightly with sugar and salt, add shredded mozzarella, put under broiler until cheese is slightly golden.
I'm very fond of the toasted tomato sandwich and have been experimenting. Here's the best version yet. Toast whole wheat, allow to cool while preparing veggies. Slice English cucumber thin, four slices. Slice tomato thin, three or four slices. Slice sweet onion thin, one slice. Mince 1 ts. roasted red pepper, add 1 and a half ts. horseradish sauce, mix into two tablespoons low fat mayo. Spread on toast. Layer on tomato, cucumber and onion. Put one handful raw baby spinach on top, cap with second piece of spread toast.
And voila, deliciousness has been achieved. Even Keith loves these sandwiches, he'll choose it over a toasted ham and cheese.
