Mmmmmmaverick's!

I was in the neighborhood yesterday, so I stopped at Maverick's for sandwiches. Based on Amy's suggestion I chose the pulled pork. Yummy! I added pickles, tangy barbecue sauce and horseradish to complement it. It is definitely my new favorite sandwich there. I got the French dip for Beth. She gave that the thumbs up as well. I forgot to get a bite from her, as I was terribly distracted by my own sandwich. But I did sample the jus and it is incredible. Next time...

Warehouse Panini Party Wrap-up

What a fine week. Yesterday finished with a shared platter of paninis. The paninis I tried included: Kate's salami, pesto, spinach, mozzarella and tomato on white; cheddar, brie, Branton's pickle and yellow mustard on 12 grain; bacon, brie and honey on sourdough; and brie and Branston's pickle on egg bagel.
Fantastic. Thanks to everyone for embracing the panini party! Paninis taste better when you eat them with friends.
Look for another day of WPP next week, possibly Wednesday...

WPP Day 4 and 5

Yeehaw!
First of all, the brie, honey and prosciutto sandwiches were awesome. Joe made fun of me for making too much noise while I ate. Guess I should have gotten a room yesterday. Other highlights from day 4 included Janna making three paninis. She was hungry. And her last one was one slice of white bread, spread with honey, folded in half and pressed. Yum.

Day 5 is in progress! Kate came! She brought salami, tomato, mozzarella, spinach and pesto. So tasty and it made the break room smell great. Also--we tried the honey and brie with some of Joe's bacon. Also delicious.

Yay paninis!

WPP Day 3

It just keeps getting better. Some highlights from yesterday: Beth came! And our friend Amy came over from where she works (so close to the warehouse). There was kind of a frenzy of panini making, so I can't be sure what everyone put on theirs. I did bring a jar of Branston's pickle, which is chutney-like. That showed up on my sandwich--cheddar, Branston's pickle, yellow mustard--amazing. It also showed up dramatically on Dan's bagel panini--oozing out the center hole. Karen came too, with a South Beach from Buon Giorno. She did seem to enjoy it, although not as much as Dan did yesterday.
It was sunny outside so we ate at the picnic table, even though Ethan chose to stay inside and act hurt at us abandoning him. (He had a repeat--ham, cheddar, yellow mustard, dense rye bread.)
And the crowning moment of the day (for me, at least) was putting Joe's turkey baloney sandwich on the panini press. He ate half of it cold and he said it was okay. I pressed the remaining half and he said it became "delectable."
Yay paninis!

Warehouse Panini Party Days 1 + 2

The Warehouse Panini Party is in full swing this week. Some highlights from Day 1: Provolone, goat cheese, arugula, roasted red pepper on sourdough-enjoyed by Beth, making a guest appearance. Prosciutto, goat cheese, fig jam, arugula, provolone on sourdough--I finally got it prefect!!!
Ham, turkey, cheddar on dense rye bread--enjoyed by Ethan. That cheese melted all the way through the bread. Yum! Karen got a salami and cheese from Buon Giorno and threw that on. Janna had turkey and provolone on whole wheat and Steve Cole didn't even know there was a panini party going on when he showed up with pita bread and hummus. What makes pita taste better? The panini press!
Day 2 for me was pastrami, provolone, roasted red peppers and yellow mustard on sourdough. Soooo good. Ethan repeated his day 1 sammie with the addition of yellow mustard. Tom made a two part cheese sandwich on rye-half had swiss, the other "rosy goat." (Goat cheese with rosemary) Dan got a South Beach from Buon Giorno and pressed it perfectly, then retreated to a corner to eat it while making funny noises--get a room!
Day 3 promises to be great--Beth's returning and my other friend Amy is stopping by. And hopefully Dan remembers to pick up honey and brie so we can make brie, honey, and prosciutto panini.......insert Homer Simpson drooling noise here.......

Town Talk Pulled Pork!

I guess I was so excited about getting the internet back that I forgot to talk about the fantastic pulled pork sandwich I had at the Town Talk Diner Saturday night.
Beth and I went out to dinner with our friend Amy who was having a very rare night off from both kids and husband. We decided to take her to a place with the fancy cocktails and sandwiches, of course.
I've been to the Town Talk a few times and I been tempted to get the pulled pork sandwich but I've always been distracted by other tasty menu items. Well, those days are over. The sandwich is a nice pile of yummy barbecue pork with some crispy cole slaw and homemade bread and butter pickles on top. Delish! I washed it down with the Panty Dropper--a float made from sparkling wine and orange basil sorbet. It's really good and fun to order.

Holy Blog-splosion, Batgirl!

I think I'm caught up with the most pressing on sandwich matters. We had some internet access issues at our place all week, but we're good for now!
Onto other pressing sandwich matters: I will be working at our warehouse all this week. I'm taking the panini press with me. It's going to be a week long panini party! Let me know if you'd like to drop by...
