With the leftover chicken from last night’s dinner, we whipped up a chicken sandwich. With avocados, tomatoes and lettuce, that was some delicious sandwich!

Another free meal by my sister, who provided the bread, lettuce and salami. All I had to was to melt the cheese and put this together. Got two thumbs up!

Open faced sandwiches for lunch today! I have a little bit of this and that in the fridge, so what better way to clear out the fridge than to use it for these sandwiches? The most work was from baking the bread!

Tried something new today! It’s more of a sandwich/burger substituting nori and rice with bread. The boys gave it two thumbs up!

Baked Ciabatta cake and enjoyed it for sandwiches today!

The best way to have a sandwich is to have it with fresh bread! Everything else in the inside comes second. Good thing we all love sandwiches which makes cooking (or no cooking) fun.

First time baking my own ciabatta bread and enjoyed it wit some pork chops, grilled onions, mushrooms and avocados. There’s always a first for everything!

Last two weeks I’ve been craving for Bánh mì’s. I’ve called around places in the neighborhood for them, but just couldn’t find any places that are opened. Anyway, YouTube seems to read my mind, because a tutorial on how to make french baguette popped up in my feed. After watching a couple more videos, I made an attempt to bake the baguette on my own.

It turns out I over baked the baguette. Boo. Since the ingredients were good, it made up for the hard loaf of bread. LOL.

The weather has been very nice the last couple of weeks. It’s such a pleasure to enjoy our lunches on the deck. I think we spent more time on the deck during this quarantine than we did all the years we lived in this house combined. We all love it!

Two weeks into the Shelter in place, I was frantically looking for yeast. I was low to begin with and didn’t think much of it. I thought I can always buy it somewhere. Well, so does everyone else. Stay home, best thing to do – bake! Yeast is off the shelves everywhere across town. I was lucky to find one on line (though I had to pay premium for it). Nevertheless, I have one in hand! I waited a week before it delivered. I was so happy when it came.

Now that we can’t purchase items so freely, it’s truly a gift to be able to bake.
