Sunday Brunch: Peanut Butter and Jelly Turnovers

This reminds me of a sandwich my mom used to make when I was a kid. She had this machine--kind of like a cross between a waffle iron and a panini press--that worked like this: make a PBJ on white bread (no crust, of course!) and lay it in the machine. Close the lid and the whole thing toasted AND segmented the sandwich into four quadrants. The sections were still attached; just pressed flat and crispy around all the edges. YUM!

I wish she still had that contraption. Must have been from the 40s or 50s. We also made mini loose meat sandwiches in it too. Aaahh, memories!

As a word geek (and former professional wordsmith) and foodie, I'm loving this idea! Perhaps Scrabble Jr. is featured so as to appeal to kids--the target demographic for Cheez-Its--and their parents in an attempt to stem the tide of text-message spelling? One can only hope.

Eat for Eight Bucks: Gai Pad Krapow (Thai Basil Chicken)

A friend of mine is Phillipino/Thai. She makes Thai Basil Chicken all the time, but it's in a coconut milk broth with lemongrass. I've never seen the version you posted about (although it looks and sounds delicious!). Have you ever heard of the version my friend makes?

Eat for Eight Bucks: Gai Pad Krapow (Thai Basil Chicken)

I love Eat for Eight Bucks! This post in particular brings back a dish we used to make at my family's dearly departed Five Spice Cafe (we cleverly called it "Thai Chicken with Basil").

Scrabble Cheez-Its

I think maybe it's called Scrabble Junior because they resemble the letter tiles in that game vs. the ones in regular Scrabble that have numbers on them showing letter values.

Scrabble Cheez-Its

I can imagine me reaching into the bottom of the box and finding Q, S and G and having to run to the store for a new box so I could make a word before I ate them.

Scrabble Cheez-Its

refers to the "munchkin" version of the game cuz its marketed to kids. like a lot of other things that are educational foods. (alpha-bit, alphabet soup, etc)

I see this and imagine a permanently orange stained scrabble board and sticky letter racks.

Eight for Eight Bucks rules! I just made this with ground turkey and used cabbage instead of green beans... even cheaper? I accidentally burned the garlic but in the end, it was still delicious. Will definitely make this again!

Eat for Eight Bucks: Gai Pad Krapow (Thai Basil Chicken)

Just made this. Super yummy! I served it without the fried eggs (in a house without dishwashers, every dirty skillet counts), and I added about a 1/4 teaspoon of Thai red chili paste along with the chilis/shallots/garlic. Also, couldn't find ground chicken so I thin-sliced two chicken breasts and then chopped them up into leetle pieces. Also, only used 1 tbs of oil, and a full pound of chicken so we would have lunch leftovers! Mwahahahaahahahaha!

Yay yum and fast!

Hi, hungryinstl, I've never heard of your friend's version as a dish with a specific name or tradition, but if she likes it and you like it, who cares about tradition?
