I knit. And I cook, write, take pictures. All for one low price.

...and she cooks, too!

This is my boss Lori who is the owner of Great Capers Cooking. I started working for her about 2 months ago. Three days a week I get to do something like what I am showing you today.

I bake fresh bread. I used to knead it all by hand, and I loved that. Then Lori got a new mixer, and it makes life just a tad easier.








The sandwich fillings are made from complete scratch:
Cooked white beans, mashed with salt, pepper, parsley, and a touch of olive oil.
Broccoli rabe sauteed in olive oil and garlic.
Sundried tomato spread (soak the tomatoes, puree them with - of course! - garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, smidge salt)






Ready to assemble:


You can find these on most Wednesdays and Fridays at the Honest Weight food co-op in Albany, in their deli case. Sometimes I make pita breads filled with roasted tofu, mashed avocado, cucumber slices, and a soy ginger vinaigrette topped with sprouts.


Guten Appetit!

Das Brot ist ja toll!! Have no idea if I spelled that right, and no idea how to deal with the umlaut! See you at Stephanie's.
