Top o'the morning everyone! Bagels and cappucinos? Happy Monday!

And Happy Autumnal Equinox to you all!

I have been jonesing for some fried eggs and bacon.....

DJ,
Just sit still and let life happen. Sometimes it's all you can do!

Hey - it is lunch time isn't it? Richard whatcha got cookin'?

How about a philly steak sandwich - or maybe a really good burger with cheese - no pastrami - not my favorite - or a good monte cristo - yes, that with some jam and fresh fruit.

Yum!!

And an Arnold Palmer to wash it all down.

Thanks!!

Hmmmm, I have no idea what any of that is Gini. Do I want to be adventurous and try it all?

An Arnold Palmer is a beverage consisting of half iced tea (either sweetened or unsweetened) and half lemonade named for golfer Arnold Palmer.

In that case, I may just stick to the original theme which was geared for the cooler weather. Our summer of 10 days has well and truly gone. No more gardening for me. Coffee and a Baileys sounds good tonight!

[Randi]

Neither have I, but Karen I'll come and sit next to you - and we can try it out. If it's really awful, we can always do a full English breakfast.

Awful?

Oh, My nationalistic pride has been damaged.

Some food sounds terrible but is really good!! A good cheese steak-and people will argue about where they can be found-is fantastic or a home made french dip sandwich is really good!


French Dip sandwich recipe.

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef consomme
1 cup water
1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
8 slices provolone cheese
4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
Add to Recipe Box


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Open the hoagie rolls and lay out on a baking sheet.

Heat beef consomme and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat to make a rich beef broth.

Place the roast beef in the broth and warm for 3 minutes. Arrange the meat on the hoagie rolls and top each roll with 2 slices of provolone.

Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese just begins to melt. Serve the sandwiches with small bowls of the warm broth for dipping.


* a hoagie roll like a small french bread loaf.

I'm so tempted to ask where you find an "add to recipe box" but I think I will just confine myself to asking for one of those sandwiches. They sound wonderful!

LOL, I try to edit a 'cut and paste' post beforehand.

I am getting old!

It's been rainy and chilly here the last two days. I need some comfort food but can't decide what! Any suggestions?

[Pinot's Mom]

Wish I had been able to respond to this yesterday as what I'm about to say would have made more sense at dinnertime than breakfast....
Comfort food - homemade meatloaf and real mashed potatoes! Nothin' better!

Now, as it's b'fast time, coffee with a touch (just a touch, mind you) of irish creme, and something I haven't had since Scotland a few years ago...a bacon roll! G'mornin' y'all!

OK,

Bacon roll?

I'll have to look into this!

DONE!

Richard, the bacon roll is deceptively simple and somehow amazingly good; it's all over the UK in slightly varying forms. The one I had from a little shop was just a wonderful roll (biscuit?), but not a very thick roll, split, buttered and grilled; take several "rashers" of bacon (which is NOT American bacon, it's somewhere between Canadian style and American style), a little mayo or additional butter (really!), and lettuce if you'd like (I thought that sounded too healthy, I passed), and that's it. It's just their street food for a quick sandwich anytime, but I remember it WELL! I think they're also called bacon 'butties'.
