Seconds Please.

I'll be honest with you. Ever since I made my double strawberry and goat cheese sandwich I can't stop thinking about it.  Like ridiculously thinking about it.  It consumes my thoughts and fills my dreams.  Which prior to, were filled with movie stars and other various celebrities.  Not the case anymore.  Instead I'm dreaming about fruit and cheese.  What gives?

Given last night was our monthly book club meeting, I took this opportunity to make a version of that sandwich in appetizer form.  Hello, Bruschetta!  Move over tomato, it's time for a sweet substitute (literally).

Fingers crossed this will tame the dreams once and for all.  I want Justin Timberlake and Matt Czuchry back!
