Must be having our sandwich siesta. Let's see - other side dishes I love: creamed spinach, candied yams, kugel, peas/rice and mushrooms (one dish).

BK, be sure to check your post office box on Friday...you might have some Hollywood entertainment to watch (make that Lesliewood! LOL).

Just a couple of surprises that you might not have seen before!

I decided to take Wednesday off as well, just to make my little vacation a little longer!

I am a frenzy!

I love raspberry jam. In fact I love raspberries!

I think Peggy McKay is on one of the WB shows tonight...maybe Surfside 6...I forget which one, but I will know when I watch it. I do know that Donna Douglas is on tonights Surfside 6.

Re: Frenchie Davis

I believe she was touring with Dreamgirls.

But she's going back to Rent for a while.

Btw, re: the new Fall line up.

Apparently ABC has 8 new shows. One of them is "Lost", a drama from Alias creator j.j abrams. Teri Hatcher is doing a soap called, "Desperate Housewives". And James Spader's "Practice" spin-off is called, "Fleet Street".

"8 simple rules" will move to Friday.

One thing I am so happy about is Tru Calling (on Fox) has been renewed.

If anyone is looking for reruns to watch this summer, this show is really good. It's about a girl who relives days to save people.

Potato or noodle?

Cocoanut cream pie. Peach pie. Homemade fresh apple pie with really good vanilla ice cream kinda melting on top of it...
Me want pie.

bk · « **Reply #158 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:16:17 PM »

Noodle kugel, always.

I love mail - haven't gotten any (except bills) for a few days - how lovely.

Sandwiches:

My favorite to make for myself:

Hmmmm...I'm terribly fond of tomato sandwiches, but ONLY when I have fresh beefeater tomatoes and fresh lettuce (usually found in summer at a farmer's market). A nice thick slice of tomato and a crisp leaf of lettuce on two slices of bread slathered in mayonnaise, salted and peppered....YUM-MEE!

Another favorite I make myself is a smoked turkey sandwich on a kaiser roll with pesto mayonnaise, provolone cheese slice and lettuce and tomato.

To buy already prepared:

Hot pastrami or a Reuben....and if I can get a side of German potato salad I'm in h-e-a-v-e-n.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #160 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:37:09 PM »

Sides to sandwiches:

Fresh cole slaw, especially if it has red cabbage and carrot, as well as regular cabbage.

Potato salad....dressed with mayo and mustard rather than Miracle Whip.

Panni · « **Reply #161 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:44:45 PM »

Just checked in to see the latest sandwich or pie description before taking the wonderdog for a walk. Was not disappointed. Yummy. Noodle Kugel. Yummy.
For supper tonight, I may just reread the posts washed down with a Diet Cherry Coke.

Jed · « **Reply #162 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:44:59 PM »

All this talk of creamed spinach. Sounds good, but I've never had it!

Panni · « **Reply #163 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:45:16 PM »

...That's a joke.

Panni · « **Reply #164 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:46:16 PM »

Jed, my innocent young friend, creamed spinach is to die for.

Jed · « **Reply #165 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:46:37 PM »

Oh, and I've never been a fan of cole slaw. I like cabbage in other forms, just not slaw.

Panni · « **Reply #166 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:49:04 PM »

My "that's a joke" line referred to my previous post - not to the awful chasm in young Jed's life caused by the lack of creamed spinach.

bk · « **Reply #167 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:49:31 PM »

Miracle whip = blechhh
Best Foods = the berries

I know Jane will get around to posting her favorite sandwiches and side dishes soon - this is what happens when you don't appear until late and have to catch up on all the yummilicious posts.

Panni · « **Reply #169 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:51:25 PM »

You just haven't had GOOD cole slaw, Jed. Trust me on this one. Cole slaw can be truly bo-ring or indescribably yummy.

bk · « **Reply #170 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:53:24 PM »

Nope, I was wrong. She read and she ran. SHAME.

Panni · « **Reply #171 on:** May 18, 2004, 04:56:27 PM »

I made myself a deli-platter for lunch. Thin slices of smoked turkey (which I actually keep on hand for the wonderdog, but he graciously shared), hardoiled egg, veggie pinwheels, green peas and Dijon mustard. It was excellent. All that was missing was PIE.

Jane · « **Reply #172 on:** May 18, 2004, 05:01:28 PM »

Jed I wish we had known about the fries at Gustav's when we were in Leavenworth. Last week I had delicious shoestring fries at Gulf Stream in Century City. I prefer mine with a little salt but occasionally will dip them into ketchup or ranch dressing. At the moment I can’t remember the restaurant in Ann Arbor Michigan where I had the best sweet potato fries dipped in a great pesto mayo sauce. The sauce was really for their wonderful veggie burger.

Egg salad on sourdough or a good seven grain bread is good, but to me it’s best on challah (egg bread).

I do not like tofu sandwiches. Somehow a slab of grilled tofu on bread doesn’t do it for me. I do enjoy veggie burgers made with tofu and grilled nut burgers on sourdough bread with a soft avocado spread, spinach leaves, tomatoes and slices of walla walla onions from Keith’s garden. It is the only time I like onions on a sandwich.

Now I must admit, sometimes, though not on my last visit, while in LA I go to Nate ’n Als and get a turkey sandwich on rye with their cole slaw, IMHO the best ever.

Bogie is demanding I feed him.

Oh, I'm sure there are wonderful cole slaws to be had out there somewhere, but I certainly haven't come across any yet.

There was a woman that I worked with (she has since retired and started a coffee/latte delivery service with her daughter) that whenever we had pot lucks, she always brought home-made cole slaw with pineapples in it. It was very good! After she retired (it's been about four years), no one bothered to get her recipe and I haven't had it since.

I remember when Jane used to eat STEAK.

bk · « **Reply #176 on:** May 18, 2004, 05:12:50 PM »

Call me nuts, but I would never eat anything called a nutburger (even though Aunt Judy orders one in A Star is Born, I believe).

I can't ever remember actually having food at Nate 'n' Al's, although I know I've been in there once or twice. I don't know why we never used to go there - you'd have thought it would have been right up my father's alley.

Jane · « **Reply #177 on:** May 18, 2004, 05:13:04 PM »

I like to take peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with me when I go for long hikes.
Mashed potatoes, or even better garlic mashed potatoes and for a rare treat, green onion mashed potatoes.

Best Pie, my mother’s Danish Apple. I do miss her custard pie but can’t find the recipe.

Noodle kugel isn’t a side dish, it’s a meal by itself.

Bruce I was here earlier, was just in a quiet mood. True about the steak but I wasn't a big fan, much preferred lamb chops. Cute lambs, and my favorite food, were the first animals I stopped eating.

Jed, wish I could send you some Nate ‘n Als cole slaw. I agree with Panni you should try creamed spinach.

Bogie is really getting upset at me. I will return later.

bk · « **Reply #178 on:** May 18, 2004, 05:14:36 PM »

Now that I think of it, I haven't had a good old-fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich in over ten years.

bk · « **Reply #179 on:** May 18, 2004, 05:15:25 PM »

Of course, my problem with peanut butter, and why I stopped buying it, is that I have no control and cannot stop eating it. I used to make peanut butter and butter sandwiches. VERY rich.
