Sometimes, when I am sleepy and need to relax, I find that open-faced sandwiches warmed up in the oven are very helpful.

My favourite cheese, like, ever. It’s a raw sheep’s milk cheese called Etorki, and I love it more than possibly any other cheese I’ve tasted. (I am a bit of a cheese snob – I spent a horrible summer working in a grocery store deli, which gave me an appreciation for the fact that there are so many cool kinds of cheese besides “cheddar” and “mozarella,” and it sort of went downhill from there.)

I finally swallowed my cheapness and bought a hundred grams from the ridiculously fancypants grocery store down the way, and my god, it was so worth it. Nom.

More banana bread, continued from this entry. I can honestly say this tasted fantastic. I think I went through the entire loaf in about three days. (I did share sme with other people, but. . .it was mostly me.) I would definitely, definitely make this again. I have a lot of trouble finding good banana bread recipes, and this has just the right amount of cinnamon (plus the brown sugar on top) to make it stand out as something a little different than most.
