I’m prone to get into “food ruts,” and it’s a wonderful thing. Take breakfast for instance. Since the late nineties I’ve started approximately ninety-five percent of my mornings with a bagel (preferably an “everything” bagel). In recent years, I’ve added a cup of Earl Grey Cream tea to this rotation.
As of late, I’ve found a new lunch time favorite: a Nutella, banana sandwich complimented with a cup of instant coffee. It just so happened that today my wife came home with some fresh strawberries. Adding these to the sandwich increased the decadence of this meal from its usual ten to an eleven.
If you’ve never heard of Nutella before, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s a chocolate, hazelnut spread which makes anything taste delicious. The first time you try it, just spread it on a piece of toast to see what I’m talking about.
