Diva Cooking 101

Divas cook gorgeous things that are fabulous enough to share with friends and family. They just don't cook much. Every diva needs a few, easy signature dishes to get by. Are you a diva cook?

Divas cook while listening to Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, or the Rolling Stones.

Divas cook while sipping Champagne, Chardonnay, or a martini.

Divas cook with a feather boa draped around their shoulders.

While cooking, divas nibble gin-soaked olives or Champagne-saturated strawberries.

Divas cook while wearing an apron that says, "Tomorrow is another Chardonnay."

A diva's favorite breakfast is last night's appetizers.

Divas don't stress over particular amounts in any recipe. Glugs, plops, and handfuls are accurate enough.

Divas can cook with boas because diva recipes do not require many steps. Still, the food is fabulous.

Roast Beef and Red Pepper Sandwich

This afternoon Diva Karyn and I had a bit of lunch. For once, it was not a liquid lunch. We actually ate. This sandwich is not for the yogurt and salad crowd. This is for divas that enjoy real food.

Roast Beef and Red Pepper Sandwich

mayonnaise

horseradish

1 onion roll

roast beef slices

Havarti cheese slices

roasted red pepper (I get mine from a jar)

Mix together some mayonnaise with a bit of horseradish to taste.
Slather on the onion roll.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Put on the George Foreman grill for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
You could broil this open-faced, but the George Foreman is easier.

Make it a meal: You don't need anything else for lunch.

Wine: hardy Cabernet Sauvignon or spicy Zinfandel
