I suppose I'm up.  The sun is shining and I am groggy but I'm not whining and soon I'll joggy.

elmore's report on the Schmidt and Jones evening was much appreciated, and it reminded me that I haven't talked to Harvey in ages, so I'll call him today.

I second Ron Pulliam's homegrown tomato sandwich. I add a little red onion, so mine is a tomato/onion sandwich.

DR Jennifer -  I read Stephanie Meyer's Twighlight quartet recently.  It's certainly not great literature, but it was entertaining in an angsty sort of way.

humm...entertaining in an angsty sort of way...I could apply that description to quite a few things these days. Who knows? Maybe I will.

TOD:
Growing up my favorite sandwich was a grilled cheese. For many years now it's been cheese (usually cheddar or jack) and avocado on whole wheat (or whole grain) bread.

As for the Topic of the Day...

Even though I haven't made one in a while, I do love a grilled cheese sandwich.  It could be provolone on rye, cheddar on whole wheat (with bacon and tomato), or, for "old times' sake" American on Wonder Bread.

OH! And fried bologna and/or salami!

TOD, Part 2 -

I like reubens too - with either corned beef and/or pastrami (although, there are turkey ones out there too).   My favorite version was the one from the now-closed New York Delicatessen in Richmond, VA.  Just the right amount of meat, just the right amount of melt of the cheese, and they also finished the sandwich with both Russian dressing and a smidgen of tomato paste which added a nice bit of acid to cut through all the "goodness".

I also like a good scoop of chopped liver on pumpernickel.

*I do remember the first time I went to a real New York Deli here in New York City, and ordered a sandwich.  When you order a pastrami on rye, or a turkey on rye, etc., that's what you get: two pieces of bread sandwiching the meat.  No lettuce, no tomato, no condiments.  -And in a lot of places, "rye" is usually understood, or in the some places the default.  I guess I was so used to "fancy sandwiches", that it felt like the counter staff had put no real thought into making my sandwich since it was so plain.  -Then there are places like the Carnegie Delicatessen where when you order a Pastrami on Rye, what comes to your table is a four- to five-inch high pile of meat on rye.

TOD, Part 3 -

The Monte Cristo Sandwich from the US Coast Guard HQ Cafeteria.  I believe Thursdays were Monte Cristo Days when I worked there.  It was the first place I had ever heard of and tried a Monte Cristo, and any version I've tried since has paled in comparison (and in memory).

They made theirs properly on the griddle cooked the French toast'd bread just right, and also heated the Swiss cheese, ham and (the not dried out!) turkey up too.  Then, right before they would hand it to you, they would give it a good sprinkle of powdered sugar, and place a small side cup of jelly or pancake syrup on the plate too.

I've found that a lot of places deep-fry the whole megilla.  No. Others put so much meat and cheese between the bread, that the turkey and ham are still cold, and the cheese has just started to melt by the time it's been served to me.  No.  I've been to other places where they have literally assembled the sandwich by using pieces of prepared, pre-cooked slices of French Toast.  No.  And I remember one unfortunate version which used Virginia ham - the salty(!) stuff - in it... Blech!

And in Munich - their version of a hot dog - grilled sausage in a fresh baked crusty roll.


Well, the next time you're in NYC, be sure to check out the offerings at Hallo Berlin - "The Würst Restaurant in NYC". ;)

Although, the German Gourmet in Falls Church, VA, may (or may not) be closer to you.  -But they do ship now.  :)

BK -

You might consider one of these for your jogs - the cheap version holds only 20 seconds, but you can pay extra for ones with more time.



der Brucer

I got them as stocking stuffers for the Grandlads, and they do work!

Where do you get such a thing - it's perfect for when I'm trying to remember on the jog.

Just browse the shelves of your local Walgreen's.  There's usually a section of "As Seen On TV' gadgets at most locations.  There are also other "memo recorders" out there at places like Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.

I just checked, DR Jenn--it looks like they just have clips of shows on CBS.com.

CBS, unfortunately, does not carry full episodes of "The Amazing Race" on their website.  However, they do have a bunch of clips and a video recap.

So, Mr. Larry Moore, do you know which version of Sound of Music Rodgers & Hammerstein sends out? Do they send the old version and the new version or just the new version? I got the Rebecca Luker revival CD at Academy today and the show has both of Max's songs. Should I also get Miss Martin's version. I know they have made changes to the show working movie songs and scenes into the show but are the changes enough that things surrounding Max are substantially different?

DR Ben - I believe R&H only sends out the original version of the show. At least that's what it looks like from their website listing.
