Portobello Mushroom Sandwich

Fun fact: 70 years ago, today, Bugs Bunny made his debut!!

Me and Ginger. Terrible picture, I know, but I like it!

I am exhausted. But I am so proud of myself. I have gone up to school two mornings in a row to meet with my advisor and work on hammering out my proposal. You see, she is super thorough and wants to make sure every word, sentence, reference is concise and clear and says exactly what I want it to say. It takes a while, but it is making so much more sense to me. I am starting to not be as frustrated. At least I can say I am working on it now. I gotta put something in to get something out of it, right? Right!

Dinner was an experiment today. I love portobello mushrooms. Stephen does not. I made portobello mushroom sandwiches today to see if he would eat them.

The sandwiches have marinated portobellos, caramelized onions, zucchini, tomatoes, and mozzarella.

They were toasted up in the oven on some fresh baked focaccia.

I also put some sour cream and extra cheese on Stephen's to make it more tolerable for him.

I served them with roasted potato wedges and extra onions and mushrooms on the side. I love these sandwiches! Stephen ate his. That is all I can say. Not his favorite meal in the world, but he ate it. That has to say something, right? He is a good boyfriend. He is brave for trying it and eating it. And I am brave for risking him not eating it. You see, I always take it personally if someone doesn't like me cooking. Even if I know it is good and it is merely a taste preference. I always feel bad. Thankfully this has only happened with beets. I haven't cooked beets since!

Is there anyting you love to cook for yourself but the other people you cook for don't like?
