Kitchen gadget

Here another gadget from my kitchen.
Purchase for approximately $3 and used today for a first time.
No instruction necessary -- images are very self explanatory.

"Fruitbliss" sandwich

It's amazing, how routine is apple pie and how unimaginable is apple sandwich, although they are both made from the same ingredients. So, today's breakfast, was sorta breaking established norms.
Here are the main ingredients: apple, mango, Havarti cheese and E. D. Smith's strawberry spread.
For my efforts, I was rewarded by a star, from the core.
The first stage is spreading the spread on the toasted Ciabatta bun. Then, added slices of cheese on top,
followed by thin slices of apple and mango.
Voilà, bon appétit! Hope to see you again!

"Mangobell" pasta

While making this dish, I was very proud of myself, believing that I invented it. Now, just before posting, I've googled it and realized, that it's pretty common dish. Oh well, what can you do, everything new is well forgotten old, but in my case not even forgotten. Nevertheless, I likes the taste of it and can recommend, that you try it too.
Mango and bell pepper -- that's where "Mangobell" name of this dish came from.
No pasta should be without garlic -- it's a sacrilege. But, I always add garlic in the final stage of preparation, so not to overcook it.
The same with mango, which was added just before pasta.
At this stage, it's more a mixing bowl, than a frying pan. I've intended to soak pasta in olive oil, with all flavours it got from sweet peppers, mango, garlic and all other spices.
Here is almost ready to eat dish, only thing that missing is some double smoked cheddar shredded cheese.
Voilà, bon appétit! Hope to see you again!

"Borscht" sandwich

In case, if you hadn't notices it yet, I'll make it crystal clear -- I love borscht! This time, I've made Borscht sandwich, that has all ingredients of a borscht, except water.
Process started, from searing roasted lamb.
Than, placed seared meat on the toasted bun and topped it with sliced beets.
Placed some Dole's "Colorful coleslaw", made with two kinds of cabbage and carrots, on top of beets.
Then, added tomato based BBQ sauce and garnished with some dill, to enhance the flavour.
Here is a final result. Bon appétit and hope to see you again!

Sunday's Steak

Sunday is a steak night at my house. This time it was a T-bone, with grilled sweet peppers, sour pickles, mushrooms and tomatoes.
Resting T-bone steak.
Here is a final result. Bon appétit and hope to see you again!

"Egg Flower" sandwich

Here is my latest breakfast creation, that was partially successful. Only one out of four flowers, looked anything like a flower. Fortunately, taste did not suffer the same destiny.
One of those, does look like a flower,
but after adding spices and dill,
finely chopped remains of the sweet pepper and sliced jumbo olives, flowers looked trampled.
My new favorite spread -- Renée's "Mighty Caesar"
Here is a final result.
Bon appétit and hope to see you again!

"Ikura" sandwich

Nothing fancy. Just some salmon roe on ciabatta bun with cream cheese, and garnished with cucumber tomato, capers and dill.
