Lemon Lime and Bitters

Are there things you take or hear of and they just take you back many years? For me this drink does just that. It takes me back to my Uni years in Melbourne, when I was young, wild and free. I miss those days, when all I had to worry about was money for drinking and money to buy food for trying out new things. When my biggest stress was making rent and buying transport tickets. Those days I would work and feel that all my money was going back to paying bills not knowing that years later I would be dealing with the real thing.

Sweet Scone and Ham Sandwich

 

20150124_141642

There times when you browse the internet and come across photos of beautiful looking food with fancy names like cupcakes or muffins and they are just darn queen cakes. For instance this sandwich is called “Hawaiian Ham Sandwich” or Sweet Hawaiian Sandwich. Now tell me, how me a Kenyan can call Scones, Hawaiian rolls? It’s like trying to convince me to go to the market and ask for Kales instead of Sukuma wiki. NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!!

So this scone sandwich was actually the best sandwich I have ever made. It actually beat the  Hangover Blaster steak sandwich which was my all time favorite sandwich. This sandwich is so easy to make all you need is scones, ham and cheese then melt some butter and sugar onion pour on top then bake for 15 mins and you have the biggest party in your mouth. Your taste buds will be asking you for my number. Trust me!.

A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for Rye Bread. I showed you how easy it is to make bread at home. Can you imagine how fantastic it would be for Mr to come back to a home smelling like a bakery? or when the kids run into the house from wherever they were they just start shouting MUMMY MUMMY what are you baking??? BLISS 🙂

The morning after I baked the Rye I made this simple “dish” I am not even sure this is a recipe. I reckon its just a tutorial. Enjoy my darlings. HAPPY COOKING!!
