Breakfast....the most important meal of the day....the one that gets your body in gear and prepares you for the day. A local Deli gave me the idea for this sandwich, they had just cheese and tomatoes....but if you add some fresh oregano, freshly ground black pepper, red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil...you get a whole new kind of deliciousness.

Looks delicious. I usually pair tomatoes and cheese with basil leaves, I bet oregano makes a nice pairing too.

Hey Brian! Sup? :) Yeah, basil would be great too...my basil plant did not survive my horrendous gardening abilities however...the oregano did. LOL I think even dried would be good, but I loved the fresh. Next time I'm thinking of doing a bruschetta like topping and maybe tossing it under the broiler for a bit...it has possibilities.... :) Thanks, btw. :) What have you been cooking lately?

I've not been cooking much. Mostly I've just been making failed attempts at chocolate making.

This week Gena has to cook for me because my birthday is on Saturday :)

Birthday week! YAY! :) Enjoy it, and have a great birthday tomorrow! :) Sorry about the chocolate experience...it'll get better. :)

This looks wonderful. I make something similar with basil and broil it. Simple and tasty! That photo makes me hungry...

Thank you, Nolin! :) With basil and broiled? YUM. I think I'll try it your way next time! :)

[this is good]

Hello,

Thank you
