Where I almost tried to marry my sandwich [or just break several decency laws w/ it]

[stoney321]

I got a gift certificate to Williams Sonoma for Christmas, and finally put it to use a few weeks ago (I have issues with spending money on myself, in that I don't. I don't know what's wrong with me, either), I got a high-end panini press after dithering over whether it would be a one-note sort of thing (like a tortilla press or a banana slicer.

And here I sit, without a panini maker. Or decent bread, for that matter. I must correct this ASAP.

[stoney321]

YES YOU SHOULD!! I'm not kidding, I've been dithering on this panini press for a long time, before Christmas for sure. And WOW is it getting use. Even simple quesadillas turn out better. :D

YAY, you're alive! I saw the front page of the newspaper this morning and I went 'Laura' and ran in slow motion up to my office, high octane music playing from hidden speakers, as I dramatically sat my coffee down, took of my coat and turned on my computer. The music has shifted now to a more mellow violin piece, it's probably my queue to sigh dramatically and pensively stare out the window. Damn you Mother Nature and your life and death powers. Damn you.

I AM I AM!! Those tornadoes and hail (wow, they were bigger than people's open hands!) were about an hour away from me, so I was JUST FINE.

I live SPECIFICALLY in the town that I do because it's never hit by tornadoes. I'm a thinker. And a drinker.

OMG SEND ME THE CHALLAH SANDWICH THE GOOD LORD COMMANDS YOU SHARE WITH THE JEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWS.

Or, alternately, I can be there by Saturday afternoon. Say 3PM?

[stoney321]

KITA I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS FUCKING SANDWICH TOMORROW I'M BESIDE MYSELF. COME YES YOU SHOULD.

That sounds delicious!

I want to send the muffalletta I am smooshing in my refrigerator to you for panini pressing for supper! Oh, well, I'll make due with two cast iron skillets!

[stoney321]

OOOH, YES, PLEASE!! Mmmm, muffallettas are so damn good. It's the ONLY TIME I'll eat actual olives. (I hate olives. Olive oil, fine. Olives? *sob*)

That's how I've been rolling, too, with the two cast iron skillets. I can't praise this panini/grill press enough, let me tell you.

PHOENETIC BABY SPELLINGS. Another reason I love you.

STRAWBERRY HULLERS WHAT ON EARTH. That's another tool that tells me everything about the "cook."

And you DO cook like a MoFo, I can bear witness to that! (And that shit bugs me, too.)

FIGS. I mean... I freaking LOVE THEM. The only reason I don't have my own fig tree is because I don't have a place FOR a fig tree. Ooooh, a big giant pot on my back patio by the pool, OH MY GOD EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT NOW. O_O
