How to be a genius
- Be starving after a long day at work and only having a (delicious) muffin for lunch.
- Remember that avocado in your fridge and decide to make a home version of the Green Room avocado and brie sandwich (aka the best thing ever to happen to sandwiches).
- Rush through grocery store at closing time on way home from work buying the items your kitchen is lacking to make the whole sandwich: bread, brie, tomatoes.
- Take groceries home.
- Cut avocado in half.
- Realize that avocado is over a week old, and avocados, apparently, don’t last that long.
- Realize it’s time for plan B.
- Make 2 slices toast. Put slices of brie on one slice. Put sliced tomatoes on top. Spread other slice with minced garlic and margarine in a crude approximation of garlic butter, as you know all to well that cheese and tomatoes are pretty plain on their own.
- Throw whole thing in microwave for like, 10 seconds, to slightly melt the cheese and make the whole thing warm. (As your toast cooled off already.)
- Cut in half.
- Eat.
- Marvel at own genius.
- Realize you are still hungry.
- Go back to kitchen.
- While 2 more toasts are toasting, thinly slice some apple. (I used Braeburn, but I imagine something sourer would work as well). Save the extra for dessert.
- When toast comes out, butter both slices (with margarine, which you still refer to in your head as buttering), then put brie on one side, raspberry jam on the other, and the apple slices in the middle.
- Cut in half diagonally.
- Marvel at own genius. Again.
Brie is the best thing ever invented.
