Monday we looked forward to having "Cuban Midnight" sandwiches. They are a small sandwich, that traditionally has Thinly sliced roast pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, mustard, and mayo- all on a fresh elongated roll, grilled in a panini press(or equivalent device!). By the picture posted, you would swear we had a wonderful sandwich- but that would be wrong! The bread we found was a tasteless garlic roll, too hard and too dry to do the sandwich justice. The pork and ham were actually on the bland side, with the baby Swiss crumbly- because the deli had frozen it at some time in it's life! Oh well, live and learn.... Oh by the way, if you're wondering what grill I use, it's a Cuisinart Griddler! Two sets of grates, heat controls, adjustable for thick sandwiches- it's like a George Foreman Uber Grill!
Today's Meme couldn't be easier! List your three favorite foods, then list three foods you don't ever plan on eating ever again! Explanations are welcome! I'll go first;
1. Chili dogs- once a week, minimum!
2. Grilled cheese sandwich- when nothing sounds good, this does...
3. BB-Qed baby back pork ribs- seasoned, tender, and sauced!
1. Brussels Sprouts- smells worse than they taste( to me!)
2. Cream of Wheat- a non-event, with a nasty texture!
3. Peas- I will eat pea pods any day, but even my dogs won't eat peas....

Foods I like
1. Lamb chops - I could eat them every day.

3. Jersey Royal potatoes I could eat them every day with Lamb chops or fillet steak!
Food I don't like
1. Butter Beans - pass me a sick bag.

leighann- Love Alfredo anything! I literally love all the foods you hate!

2. Acai. I know it's a super food and is so good for you, but I just don't really like the texture unless it's disguised in a smoothie
3. I can't think of anything else. I honestly like most foods.
UrbanV- I kind of figured on your dislikes! My wife has gotten so she will drink a beer about twice a year- max!
LOVE cream of wheat with a pat of goat butter and sprinkles of sugar and cinnamon. It's warm, hearty, comfort food. And roasted brussels sprouts? Drizzle them with olive oil, dash them with salt, pepper and garlic powder, bake, VOILA, even my KIDS eat them!!!
You know what is nice? When you actually sign in and comment using the RIGHT email. Honey=Claudia

1. melons--all types. too sweet--gross
2. papaya--so pretty, yet so...mushy

Honey- does Claudia know we're seeing each other?
Claudia- Now I have to deal with split personalities, too? :)
Lini- The "P" words worked for me- but I'll eat broccoli only if it's covered in cheese sauce! On dislikes- guess what is in the oven right now? Cranberry/apricot, orange bread!
Steak, pizza,tacos food I hate raw onions, McDonals, kohlrabi's.
I like that griller....maybe I'll get one.....
I can't believe you don't like Cream of Wheat!!!
Loves:
1) Making and eating meatballs in Italian gravy...(with pasta of course or on a hero)

3) Humus.
Won't eat ever again:

2. Blackened Salmon. I could eat it every single day!
3. Fried chicken, as long as it's done right!
1. HATE peas. YUK!
2. Oysters. Feels like someone hawked a loogie in my mouth.

Oh I so love the sprouts! Very good with vinegar sprinkled over them.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
rog- I don't like raw onions much either- cooked is OK!
odat- That grill is the one you want! Very versatile and pretty easy to clean! I'll eat the liver for you- if it's calf's liver sauteed with bacon and onions...
bina- If you ate popcorn 5 times a week the way I make it- you'd weigh 400lbs.! Butter, butter, and more butter...
Yaaay! Somebody else that hates peas!
casdok- I like your likes!
R.L.L.- Now I have to eat more liver! Whole wheat anything is not my favorite flavor...
PrePon- Consider my share of sprouts all yours...
The in crowd:
1. Chicken Fried Steak - The only thing that needs to be on a breakfast menu
2. Potatoes - Baked, mashed, fried, anyway you fix 'em I'll eat 'em.
3. First BBQ'd steak of the summer.
The gag me with a pitch fork crowd
1. Brussel Sprouts- I feel your pain Buff. It's like taking all the nasty from a cabbage and compressing it down into one little bite.
2. Creamed Spinach - The only vegetable my mother would let me get away with not eating. It was either that or clean-up the carpet after I yacked it back up later
3. Tripe - Smelling it cooking is enough to may me leave the building (maybe permantely!)
Today I am filled upto here ( holds hand horizontally at the neck) & don't feel inclined to even mention food..

Loathe:
Liver
Pudding/jello

2. Broccoli - Once my most hated vegetable, now is something I seek out in any vegetable medley I consume.
3. Potatoes - A moment on my lips, a lifetime on my hips, but oh so yummy!
Foods I hate:
1. Lima Beans - they make me gag
2. Venison - Okay, so I've never tried it, but I can't bring myself to eat Bambi.
3. Head Cheese - It looks like something straight out of a horror movie, smells like dead bodies, and I'm sure doesn't taste much better either.
amy- Lima beans almost made my dislike list! Head cheese? It's not the guts that scare me, it's the gelatin that holds it together!
I Like
1. Steak (when it melts in your mouth)
2. Salt Water Taffy (if that is a food)
3. Cheese
I Hate
1. Tofu
2. Seafood
3. Nuts
Well I love tuna and hate seafood. I love peanuts and hate nuts. I hate fatty or questionable meats, but LOVE McDonalds and Hot Dogs. Go figure.
