Cucumber Sandwich

     My grandma said she always had to make an onion sandwich for some of the men in her family growing up, and I use to think it was one of the most disgusting things I ever heard of. Such a plain sandwich!
     But when I think about it, many times pre World War II, simple sandwiches like that were the thing many people ate. Look at the B-L-T, super simple sandwich!
     So this sandwich would probably be a step up above the super simple, since it has to be heated together.
 

Ingredients 
    Sourdough bread
    olive oil
    2 cucumbers
    3 tomatoes, sliced thin
    lemon pepper
    sliced Swiss cheese


Directions
    Brush oil on bread slices.
    Layer cucumber, tomato on sourdough.
    Sprinkle with lemon pepper and place slice of cheese on top.
    Place open sandwich on broiler pan, lined with aluminum foil.
    Broil sandwiches until cheese is melted.


Changes I made!
    This recipe works great if you are making a lot of sandwiches for a lot of people. I do want to try this with different cheeses, the Swiss didn't line up perfectly for me.



This recipe is from The Book Lover's Cookbook.

Penne alla Vodka

     For me, trying out new things is a must for this challenge, and new sauces is differently something I have found joy in.      Now the last sauce, also bought to you by Audrey at Home, but this one is so much more simpler and doesn't call for a hand mill. Ingredients     1/2 onion     pinch crushed red pepper flakes     5 1/2 tbs of unsalted butter     1 cup tomato puree     1/2 cup of good quality Russian vodka     1/2 cup of heavy cream     Sea Salt     1 lb of penne     1 ounce of parmigiano-reggiano Directions       In a large skillet saute onion and pepper flakes in butter, over medium heat.       Add tomato puree, reduce heat to low and cook for a few minutes.       Stir in vodka and cook down for 15 minutes.       Add cream.       Meanwhile, cook pasta. ...

Spaghetti Carbonana

     I love pasta, and I love mixing up how I serve pasta. I'm normally not a big spaghetti fan, might have to do with how Giada pronounces it on Food Network, not sure, but I really wanted to try this sauce.      This recipe also has pancetta in it, which is my favorite addition to a good pasta dish. Ingredients     1 lb of spaghetti     2 tbs of olive oil     4 ounces of pancetta, chopped     4 large eggs     1/2 cup of grated Parmesan     Salt and pepper for seasoning     3 tbs of parsley Directions     Cook spaghetti according to packaging.      Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, and add oil and pancetta.     Brown pancetta for about 3 to 4 minutes.     Meanwhile, mix together eggs and Parmesan. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper.     Drain the excess grease off of pancetta.     Add...
