"It's only Tuesday?" lunch

You're sure it's not Thursday? It feels like Thursday. If it were Thursday, I wouldn't have to come into work tomorrow. Sigh. Fine. It's Tuesday.

From top left, spinach dip pinwheel sandwiches on lavash and stuffed with oven-dried tomatoes, slow-cooked onions and oven-dried peppers; more of Jeff's cornbread, this time with a little baby round of cheddar cheese with shallots (yum!); steamed sugar snaps and wax beans with a smidge of olive oil and (say it with me now!) shallot-pepper seasoning; and and orange with no-cal chocolate dip for dessert.

This was probably more food than I needed today. The pinwheels are exceedingly filling. But I was hungry, and I really wanted to try that cheese with the cornbread. So I'll just skip my afternoon snack. :)

About once a month - or when stuff is on sale - I oven dry a bunch of tomatoes and peppers, and cook up a mess of onions to use during the week to spice up boring pasta dishes and such. Or, in this case, to make a super-yummy looks-a-little-like-sushi sandwich. The onions freeze perfectly, so I always make the most of those. The tomatoes and peppers are a little more finicky about freezing, though the peppers do OK for a couple weeks. Tomatoes I have not successfully frozen - they came out a gooey mass when thawed. Tasted good, but: ick!
