Starbucks Breakfast Sandwiches: Now Less Smelly

I do not understand why we are unable to make decent sandwiches in this country. The sandwich is the backbone of America, yet they are disgusting. I tried one of the Starbuck's creations and it wasn't good enough to want another.

While traveling in Finland I thought that they had the best "to go" sandwiches I have ever had. Freshly made with fresh and uncomplicated ingredients and nice bread. They were delicious and you could get them anywhere.

I would find it intriguing to know how they made the smell better...

Cook the Book: 'The Food Life'

I drive an obscene distance to the food coop because the food is fresh, local and most of the time not more expensive. Safeway, more often than not, has food on the shelves that are well past their pull date, and their produce section is also past it's pull date! Yuck! Winco, on the other hand, is better and cheaper, but everything (even the milk) is from very far away. Nothing local there. So the Moscow Food Coop gets my money!

Cook the Book: Cowgirl Cuisine

Her most famous, and the reason that the grandkids want to spend the night, is the Swedish pancakes. No pancakes? Then my brother won't even entertain the idea of staying over with his family, no matter how late it gets or how far he has to drive.

Cook the Book: The Oprah Magazine Cookbook

It would have to be Oprah because she loves Nando's Chicken, of course we would have to leave the country for that. If not South Africa then we can settle for Canada, eh. or she could come to my house and enjoy a nice peri peri chicken!

But I think that with Ellen it might be a more relaxing, enjoyable time. Oprah would definitely be intense.

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

organization is key, I am not very accomplished at organization. On the days that I am organized I find everything goes more smoothly. Also emptying the dishwasher first is also a trick I need to learn.
