I make this all the time in the summer! I press the sandwich with a heavy skillet to make it all smooshy.

@matth, it looks like Harrod's still does afternoon tea. I also had the afternoon tea there about the same time as you and it was wonderful.

Is there anywhere in the US that makes good English-style scones? I can't stand the dry, crumbly things that pass as scones around here.

Baking anything that does not come in a box. I made the world's worst brownies sometime in the late 90's and have never strayed from Betty Crocker again. On a related note, icing. My buttercream always tastes like straight butter.

I gave my dad a sampler of Jeni's ice cream for Father's Day and he absolutely loved it. Said it was the best present I ever gave him!

My question is the same as @CourtneyFishy, except we fry the turkey and therefore are also without yummy gravy. I made your gravy recipe last year, but without the drippings from the turkey it was missing some oomph.

I was a very picky eater as a child. As I got older, I realized that every food I disliked was one that my father disliked and I didn't actually dislike the food, he just told me it tasted bad and I believed him. As an adult, I have learned to never tell him what's in the food I cook for him because he loves my cooking and will pretty much eat anything I give him. So I generally wait 1-2 days and then tell him what was in the dish. Then it's funny to watch his ears get red when he realizes he not only ate cabbage (or asparagus, avocado, goat cheese, etc.) but that he liked it! And he always tries to backpedal and say he didn't like it that much after all. Uh huh, sure Dad. It's a fun game.

I love this! Except I use just equal parts miso and butter, then sprinkle on some shichimi for the spice. It's fantastic served on the side with soy-ginger marinated flank steak.

Buying wine to drink at home, usually $8-12, sometimes up to $15. The wine section in Costco is my friend. When dining out, anywhere from $30-50 though usually in the lower end of the scale for non-special occasions. This is in a small-ish city in NC, for geographical reference.

We received a bottle of Opus One a few years ago. Having never owned a beverage that expensive, we were afraid to open it. What if we hate it and discover we're not fancy enough for Opus One? That said, we decided to save it for our 10-year anniversary which is next year. Oh, we also got a bottle of personalized "red" wine as a wedding gift and we were afraid to open that one too, but mostly because we can pretty much imagine what "red" wedding wine will taste like. But the bottle is very lovely.

We are building a new patio this summer, so I would have a patio party cookout with all my friends and neighbors. Then we would go next door to swim in my neighbor's new pool!

Grilled burgers while tailgating. I love the fall. Bring on the football!

I agree with the font and narrow feel most people have mentioned. I do really like the "What's Fresh" bar at the top. I have to disagree with @spiced ham- I like the slideshows to open in a new window or tab.
