Tonight was quick sandwiches with the panini machine. It included a spread which was a mixture of fresh thyme, diced red onion, Dijon mustard and fat free sour cream. I don’t use fat free sour cream, so I used regular. I liked the sandwiches fine, but Larry thought the spread was weird. He made a second sandwich using just regular mayo, and it was much better. Larry has an excellent sandwich instinct.

MMMMMM…everything sounds good except the “fake sour cream thing!” LOL!
Exactly! Fake sour cream. Ick.
They look great! Don’t know if I can fit another appliance in my kitchen though.
Katie, you don’t need a fancy-schmancy pannini press to make a fabulous sandwich. Wrap a brick in foil and put it on top of the sandwich on a grill pan or cast iron skillet.
Yeah, but then you don’t get the nice grill lines. I’ll just have Sheri feed me if I want them that badly!!
You get grill lines if you have a grill or a grill pan!
really? on both sides? Amy you are so smart….you really like bricks, don’t you? Is ther anything else you can do with them aside from paninis and chicken?
You can build a retaining wall with bricks.
I fought Larry for two years to get that panini grill. If he sees me making them with bricks I’m in BIG trouble. :)
Wow, this panini issue is a hot topic! The most posts ever for a recipe, no?
Well, now that we know you know what a retaining wall is…and that Amy has knowledge of brick-things…Mom’s ranch is in need of a retaining wall for one of the arenas…She’ll put you to work if you’re not careful (as Sheri found out!)
Ummm.. I’m busy that weekend…
That’s okay, Sheri, it’s an ongoing weekend project! LOL! We have some nice Zinfandel to go along with the brick and mortar!
I’m going to the store right now for everything I’ll need to make these tonight for the NFL games.
You’re gonna make me look brilliant!

I’ll be back here often, this is a kickin’ blog!
Panni sandwiches for all this weekend! Hint: We are starting the retaining wall project! LOL! Sheri I need On Demand’s street address to send Les a plant tomorrow for his office! :)
EVERYTHING was great yesterday by-the-way. Also, on the panni sands how does basil cook up in them? Does it get too black?
Basil cooks up great in panini. It doesn’t turn black, just wilts with the heat.
I’ll send you the address via e-mail. :)
