Monte Cristo on white
How unexpected. A sandwich with egg battered bread– French toast, if you will? No worry, I’ll try. Wait. You say there’s ham and turkey? Why two meats? It seems excessive, no? Cheese, too? So many things I love separately are coming together as one. The cheese dominates the thin-sliced meats, as the chewy ham outlasts […]

As the cheese melts the two ingredients meld together, with the delicate flavors of […]

Continue on with the endurance of a seasoned pro through each […]

Thanksgiving Leftovers on white
The day after Thanksgiving continues the turkey binge. Pull out some white bread and slather it with mayonnaise. Pile on some white turkey meat, then some stuffing, then cranberries. Throw another piece of white in, for sandwich stability, then add more stuffing, dark meat, and mayo. You may be eating your way closer to death, […]
