Is it true that bread rots your brain?

Well commence brain rotting, for I am about to feed you a sandwich. Unless we were in Japan, then I would be feeding you a sandwich on rice bread.

Ya, that exists.

I love my sunglasses (and the person who bought them for me)!

The other day, I ran home during lunch to grab something, and whipped up some lunch while I was there.  I wanted something light and healthy... but still filling. Something that could be prepared and eaten in 30 minutes... but not convenience food. I had a portobello mushroom in my fridge that was destined for something else, but that afternoon the powerful bread lobby convinced me to make it into a sandwich.

My usual beef with portobello mushroom sandwiches is that they tend to be messy. And, well, messiness from a sandwich wasn't the kind of mess I was looking for on that afternoon. The lunch plan then became to make a fast and clean portobello sandwich. The fast part sort of dropped as my balcony beckoned me to eat my lunch on it. But whatevs (she sure uses a lot of ghetto slang...). But if you make it, I ensure it will be all that I promised: a fast, clean, and filling portobello sandwich. California style.

Portbello Mushroom Sandwich

Materials:

• 1 portobello mushroom cap, stem and gills removed
• sesame oil
• 1/2 avocado, pitted and sliced
• sprouts of some sort
• tomato slices
• 2 tablespoons mayonaise (I use vegenaise) 
• 2 tablespoons mustard (I know what you are thinking... this isn't nearly enough mustard.)
• 2 slices bread of choice

Methods:

1. Lightly rub each side of the mushroom with sesame oil.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat.
3. Sear the mushroom over high heat, about 4 minutes on each side.
4. Assemble the sandwich: Spread the mayonnaise and mustard on the bread, top with mushroom, avocado, tomato, and sprouts, give the whole thing a shake of salt and pepper, and top with other bread slice.
• I would have toasted my bread, but my toaster oven decided not to work this afternoon.
5. Enjoy!
• Preferably on a balcony.

Ok, now i'm just showing off.
