sunday's dinner is good for lunch

I almost always cook with leftovers in mind. Last night's fajitas and cabbage salad were terrific for lunch. I just threw the last of the pinto beans and sauteed vegetables onto the cabbage and brought along a little container of dressing.

My idea of the perfect lunch always involves good bread and cheese and if your lucky, a proper tomato. A glass of wine doesn't hurt, but when you have to be productive all afternoon like I did, ginger beer will do. I was rather gluttonous with the opened-faced sandwiches today because we have a lot of cheese left over from my birthday dinner. On the far left you see fromage d'affinois (that's a triple cream people) with cucumber, on the top is classic american style, mayo, dijon, gouda, tomato and cuke. The lower one is pesto with aged cheddar and tomato. Pick a favorite? I don't think I could.

This is how I get Alli to eat lunch. She looked at it and exclaimed, "Jenny, you're the best Jenny ever!" What excitement for a pile of vegetables dipped in humus.
