I hereby dedicate my first post in 5 months to, PANINI! With that, I would also like to announce my decision to become a professional panini maker. And by professional, I mean simply awesome because I can’t be dealing with DHEC. I already have my Mom (The Clean Queen) to deal with during visits throughout the year. But I shall also dedicate this post to her, since she gave me my very own panini press for Christmas! What a gal, that Loretta Bruschetta.
Ever since I gently undressed my panino press and popped some bubble wrap in excitement and anticipation last week, I feel like I have awakened a beast. A very hungry beast who loves tasty stuff in between bread pressed and toasted. All I want to do is make panini like woah.
My first panino was smoked gouda, bacon, honey mustard and tomato. Next was smashed white beans with cumin, bacon again, and avocado. Today’s was definitely the best yet, as confirmed by my partner. (She also says I can make anything into a delicious panini, but I beg to differ as I could think of some nastiness that would not taste good. Belly button lint being one of them.) The masterpiece was layered as follows: Heinz Ketchup, leftover meatloaf, collards, onions, and mayo. It was served with sweet potato fries w/ siracha-ketchup-mayo dipping sauce and jalapeno pickles. Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy.
Working from home just got better.
Yummy, We can’t wait for our next visit. We Love you, “The Clean Queen”.
PS: The Hershey Kiss adds a nice kick to the menu!
