There are so many awesome sandwiches possible from a really good ham. The quality of the ham a key ingredient. Given that...then I highly recommend a recipe of Cheesy Garlic Bread using French bread that I found here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/03/garlic-cheese-bread/

Add some freshly sliced ham and a bit of avocado to make yourself a sandwich that is tantalizing for your taste buds and sure to become one of those comfort foods you think about when it gets cold outside.

Diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes during the summer of 2008...I want to become more disciplined with avoiding desserts or at the very least find a way to make them with less sugar.

Ribeye...fresh off the grill, served with Garlic mashed potatoes, Bushs baked beans and homemade buttermilk biscuits. Somebody ring the dinner bell!

Campbell's Bar-B-Que in Portland, Oregon...brisket to die for, mouth-watering ribs cooked like they came from the old South. Fresh cornbread. Mac n Cheese like mama use to make. They even make their own pies.

Ummmmm...there is nothing like a fresh from the oven, hot chocolate brownie served a la mode with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream. And if your feeling decadent add a drizzle of caramel to make what I refer to as my dieter's rebellion.

Definitely Ribeye steak. But I'd take a real good cut of T-Bone if no Ribeye were to be had. After all...beef it what I crave.

ummmm....honey mustard, sliced avocado, alpine lace,lettuce, tomato

A ham sandwich or any good sandwich is like fine wine. I prefer mine on a fresh Kaiser roll with mayo, Grey Poupon, iceberg lettuce, roma tomato slices, thinly sliced avocado and a slice of Alpine lace.

Cetainly beats your mom's old standby...peanut butter and jelly.

No contest...I would want to sit down to an afternoon lunch in some open air restaurant and discuss where Oprah sees this country heading. As we would munch on a delicious Chicken Ceasar Salad with fresh shreded Parmesan Cheese I could probe her thoughts and reasoning in supporting Barack Obama as a presidential candidate and if she has had any second thoughts about that decision since the campaign has turned so ugly with all the media spin. And ask her too...what does she think of the way news media and paparazzi conduct their business in reporting the lives of high profile individuals like herself.

MILK CHOCOLATE...but then you won't see me turning down dark chocolate either. Chocolate is just tooooooo goooood.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a key ingredient in any Italian dish. But then what is Italian without the freshest Garlic available. Oh...and capers. Must have capers. And a little touch of heaven to finish whatever concoction makes it to the dinner table would have to be parmigiano reggiano. No wonder my family loves me. I love them with really serious eats.
