There comes a time when coffee alone won't suffice....

And a man must eat.

Late lunch today, but worth the wait. I had some time to think about this, and stop at a grocery store.

You can see the pieces... here is what you see:

Oven roasted carrots, brushed with butter and garlic before roasting.

Grilled chunks of sirloin, rubbed with kosher salt and cracked black pepper, and a hint more garlic.

Fresh crusty rolls, gutted and brushed inside with olive oil and chunks of garlic, then toasted into boats.

The sauce.... is a simple creamy white sauce with Gruyer cheese and cracked pepper. Lots of pepper. There are a few other things in it too....

Plate it the way you see, and eat like a king.
