‘Man cannot live by bread alone; he must have peanut butter.’ James A. Garfield.

06 Jun

Stories from my Sketchbook . . .

I love bread.  In fact, I never really met a bread I didn’t like—brown, white, rye, seeded, ciabatta, damper, focaccia, roti, soda, multigrain, pumpernickel, (banana—not sure that counts as a real bread but . . . yum)—the list goes on and on and on. . .

And, although I do agree with James Garfield that bread needs something to go with it, for me it’s not peanut butter.  For me it is cheese (any kind of cheese) and ham . . .  and chutney . . .  and  pickles . . . or . . . if it’s toasted, pâté.  I could, seriously, live on toast and pâté . . . and red wine . . .

Well—when I say I could live on it, I probably actually couldn’t.  My digestive system seems to have much more to say about what I can, and can’t, eat (and drink) these days.  Sigh.

Sometimes getting older sucks . . .

    That sourdough looks good Sal – not sure about the garnish of dead ‘orse (= tomato sauce = ketchup – for our North American colleagues) though 🙂

      No intended tomato sauce garnish here. Sometimes, when I am at a loss for something to draw, I go through my sketchbook and ‘colour’ blank pages, trying out different techniques and materials. Then later on I go back and sketch something over that already coloured page. It produces some really interesting, and unexpected, outcomes. Looks like tomato sauce was one of them! 🙂

    First, love the sketch!
    Like you, I’m fairly certain I haven’t met the bread I didn’t like and the combinations are endless. Though, for me, I could probably live on some nice crusty French bread and really good butter.

    …and naan, and cornbread/dodgers/muffins, and tortillas,and sourdough…sadly, most of these are off limits for me now with Celiac, but I keep working on ways to make or find the GF versions of many. I’m a cheese fanatic, too, but I love peanut butter on buttered toast. 😁
