Nothing is better than a simple luncheon! While in Venice, I made sure I always had in my fridge a few things to fix a quick lunch. So when a friend called in, I was able to prepare a delicious sandwich with simple ingredients. Basil (bought at the Venice market and which I kept in a vase in the kitchen), jack cheese (bought at a Mexican supermarket on Rose Ave), whole wheat bread (bought at the Venice Market), some salad, and the usual olive oil and sea salt.
I chopped plenty of basil leaves, mixed them with some sea salt and olive oil and used this fresh mixture as a bread spread for my two slices of bread (I really do not like mayonnaise as a bread spread, unless I know where the eggs come from).
I cut a generous slice of jack cheese (whole milk, enzymes) and placed it on the bread.
I added a few tender lettuce leaves, toppled with the other slice of bread.. et voila!
I had bought a bottle of Pinot Noir wine from the Domaine of Valmoissine, Louis Latour , in the Provence region at Lincoln Fine Wines, a good wine store at 727 Lincoln Blvd in Venice. Very pleasant! Some Perrier water in a large glass completed the picture!
After lunch, we walked to Groundworks Coffee on Rose Ave for a chocolate cookie and a small macchiato.
