better than a salami sandwich...

oh, LEFTOVERS!  After another day of being out of the house all day, we planned on leftovers.  Looking in fridge to decide what to eat and while trying to create a diversion so we didn't end up eating cold sandwiches via Nick was definitely a challenge. 

First, with the leftover dough, I decided to try to make a small calzone/sausage roll sans sausage. Preheat the oven to about 350.  After letting it rise some I worked it out evenly and put it on a greased (buttered) cookie sheet.  I cut up two pieces of ham (just regular lunch meat ham), four pieces of salami (from Laurennnnzo), and two slices of meunster cheese.  Given, it was small but we would just split it and go back to the fridge, more left overs.  Spead the cut up meat and cheese leaving about an inch of dough on each side.  Roll up the sides, trying not to do it too tight so it bursts while cooking but making sure that it is sealed. 

Meanwhile... as Nick is racing around our studio, between the phone and the balcony and the fridge and the laptop, I wanted to eat the leftover chili over pasta.  Oh no... no, no, I could not eat the chili.  He wanted to eat it with chips... yes, chips.  WELL, conveniantly, I LOVE nachos, and I remembered this awesome taco dip from my friend Matty that had cucumbers in it. 

The first layer was what we use as a substitute for sour cream.  It's called Fage yogurt (via Sarah Mayer, thanks boo).  It is greek, strained, all natural yogurt.  If you tried it you would understand how it could be instead of sour cream. Then came a layer of chopped cucumbers.  While I was cutting the cucumbers, heated the chili with shredded cheese spinkled over the top.  I put the chili with cheese over the cucumbers and yogurt, and topped it off with a little salsa.

This took us all of 9 seconds to inhale.  We even ended up eating it with a fork.  Ideally, I would've have it over lettuce like a salad but I think Nick would've have tried to eat his arm or a plain salami sandwich had I put more than 2 minutes of thought into this.

Conveniantly, the calzone/ham, salami, and cheese roll was just ready to come out of the oven. 



No, leaks and a very light crust!  Even more exciting, when we cut into it!

                                  



Success!!

Ok, alright, personally I have no issues with leftovers like some do.  Nick would be just as happy eating cold chicken, or cold anything from the fridge for that matter.  I believe I maximized the leftoverness today.  Definitely better than a salami sandwich.

Even my drink is happy :)
