5. A Cuban sandwich or a Reuben!

You'll need a brick to do the Cuban, though.

Redstone

[NMDemDist2]

15. i don't need a brick do I? won't any foil wrapped massive book do the trick?

:evilgrin:

[Redstone]

25. I bet it would. Good thinking on your part.

6. I thought it said "my new girdle..." Griddle is much better!

[NMDemDist2]

21. yes it is. if I wore a girdle, I would not announce it to the Lounge

a girl needs to keep some mystery don't ya think??

:blush:

[seemunkee]

8. Pancakes for dinner

with some fried taters

[NMDemDist2]

10. that makes so much sense... wonder if I have any bacon in the freezer......

nope, no bacon :cry:

[Kali]

9. looks like you could do 2 lbs of BACON on that thing

BLT's!

[NMDemDist2]

13. i'm hoping to do eggs and pancakes for two

should work just fine I think

I screwed up (not knowing the package was at the door waiting for me to get home) and didn't buy any bacon from the butcher shop :banghead:

[Kali]

17. well DANG! That looks like a bacon production device!

Is it teflon coated? Pancakes would be my husband's choice. We need to get him one, but I have been watching for just cast iron, not coated.

[NMDemDist2]

20. it's the anondized alumium. I thought cast iron would weigh to much

for the double burner size I wanted

[Adsos Letter]

12. pork chops, over-easy eggs, hash-browns,...

juice, coffee and some fruit.

Yup...that about does it...

Damn...now I gotta' go cook something fat and salty...

:D

[NMDemDist2]

16. I made fresh bread this morning and was just gonna do a Southwestern Chicken soup

with the bread, now I'm in a quandary!

wish the UPS guy had arrived BEFORE I went into town.....

[Kali]

23. toasted cheese sandwhiches with the soup

or quesadillas?

[NMDemDist2]

27. that's an idea... but it's not that kind of fresh bread

it's the NYT 'no knead' bread so it really doesn't lend itself to grilled sammies

[TreasonousBastard]

24. Crepes for dinner , of course. Or, if you...

made something else, roll up some blueberry preserves in the crepes and you got blintzes for dessert.

[NMDemDist2]

26. hiya TB!! got a crepes recipe you'd care to share?

:hi:

[TreasonousBastard]

28. None offhand-- haven't made them in ages, but...

they're really just a pancake batter with maybe more butter and less baking powder.

I never measure pancake batter, but this is about what I'd do:

2 cups flour
1 cup unflavored yogurt or a tablespoon or so of melted butter (optional)
pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
two eggs
a little vanilla
water, milk, coconut milk, or buttermilk to bring to right consistency-- a little runnier than pancake or waffle batter.

Or, just google a recipe.

Just remember that dessert crepes (blintzes, blinis... ) do require a healthy dollop of fresh sour cream.
