The Three Cheese Sandwich

In the heat of buying food at EarthFair, Robby and I decided that we should try to document our exploit somehow. We quickly thought of a blog because I think we are the last people on the planet to have one. So we decided whenever we get excited about making any kind of food, we are going to document it here.

Tonight, we decided we wanted to make a sandwich because of its simplicity and it would compliment our beginning status as "cooks". We bought the cheeses first because we decided that was the most important ingredient for the sandwich as it is in most dishes. We got Cotswald Gloucester, Perrano, and Port Salut because of the differing firmness in all three. For the meat, we bought Soppressata mainly because we had never had it before and experimenting with stuff you already know is boring. For the bread, we decided on a simple Focaccia. We basically just put melted down butter to spread on the bread along with some artichoke pesto that I was pretty jazzed about. We let it bake while we sliced up the cheeses then we put the meet on the bread for a few minutes and topped the meat with the three delicious cheeses.

For dessert I tempered some chocolate and just basically poured it over a croissant which wasn't bad but it was heavily overshadowed by Robby's french press coffee. I'll let him talk more about that since I only enjoyed it without ever seeing him make it or even what kind he used. All I know is I liked it

We must say, although it wasn't hard and felt like anyone could do it, we felt accomplished. It was totally edible and on top of that, pretty tasty as well. Of course anyone who reads this knows that it was the ingredients that were delicious and we didn't do much. But as I said earlier, we wanted to start out simple and work our way up. We have our sights set on a risotto recipe I found of google today and hope to tackle that next obstacle soon.
