Mayo, tomato and a crusty bread. Simple and yummy.

NY Strip no question! You need a little fat to have a great cut of steak.

My favorite ham sandwich has tomato rubbed into the bread, cheese (I love a nice thinly sliced edam) and a crusty bread.

In a bake with a fresh tomato sauce and melted cheese.

Sweet, juicy brisquet
melting meat inside my mouth
bbq yummy

Sticky Fingers in Providence. I haven't had better bbq since I've moved from there-- but I've had bad. I'm taking a road trip down south in a couple of days, so I'm looking forward to having some authentic bbq!

A huge (untoasted) everything bagel with yummy cream cheese and a slice of tomato.

Yum-- this is making me hungry.

I'm a McDonald's Around the World girl... Everywhere I go, I need to make sure I hit McDonald's at least once. I loved the Cadbery Egg McFlurry in London and I loved the Greek Salad in Athens along with the 'Country Potatoes' (these awesome spicy wedge fries). In Berlin, I had this awesome apple pie/dumpling dessert with a light vanilla sauce. In Amsterdam, I made the mistake of trying the 'McKroket'- it was a fried meat patty with a curry-type sauce that came pouring out of it. Oh my gosh, I still remember that hideous taste-- it tasted like (what I imagine) wet, muddy, sweaty t-shirt to taste like. BUT-- Amsterdam did feature the best Big Mac I have ever had (the meat was fresh and lightly seasoned) and they had crispy waffle fries.

There's something to be said for McDonald's-- although I wouldn't eat there for every meal, it is really cool to see what local specialties they try to incorporate.

My favorite memory is so simple-- I remember when I was a kid and occasionally for a treat my mom would make these egg, cheese and bacon sandwiches for dinner as a special treat. These things were huge and so incredibly delicious! The bacon was so greasy that it would soak into the bread and grease up on the plate. MMmmmm!!!
