eat THIS!

Sooooo... I'm sitting at work... thinking how I sounded like a Negative Nancy... and I decided that my readers deserved more than that, that you, my fellow human beings, were above such condescension! But what to say? I have nothing overly bubbly/cheerful to give... Ah crap.

AND THEN IT HIT ME!

I'm hungry... and more than likely, you, my darling reader, are American and therefore automatically hungry, so what better than a blog about fooooood?! And what tastier than sandwiches? That's right, nothing! A post about sandwiches, here I come!! :)

• First and foremost, it's important to note that if you have a facebook account, it's imperative that you log in to your profile IMMEDIATELY and become a fan of Einstein Bagels. They have a special going on, right now, where you receive a coupon for a free bagel and shmear for becoming a fan of their page on facebook!! So hop to it! (No purchase necessary)
• Second, because I missed stopping off for my free piece of Heaven before work, today, I opted to instead lust after the pictures of some of my favorite bagel places... Voila.
• While lusting after the above picture (minus the bacon, of course) I realized that nothing in the world would satisfy more than a frigging panini, right about now. Which lead to... 
• Recipes!! Here's my personal favorite: 

• 1 Fresh pear sliced into long, thin pieces
• 1/4 of an onion, sliced (not diced, keep them whole)
• Approximately 1/4 cup of gorgonzola cheeze
• 1/8 cup of mozzarella cheese
• Pinch of garlic and Italian seasoning
• 
  
• Sprinkle a layer of the gorgonzola on one of the pieces of bread, followed by the onion and pear slices. 
• Carmelize your onions first, in a separate pan
• Lightly butter the bread on the outside
• Cover the newest ingredients with a layer of mozzarella, this will help them all stick together so your sandwich isn't quite so messy - kind of like food glue!
• Finally, add the top piece of bread and cook evenly on both sides on medium low heat. 
• Last, but not least, I'd like to make a public statement, now, that I have officially decided (surprise, surprise) that a bagel and cream cheese is my all-time favorite food (couple). So fantastic, so wonderful, so simple, so perfect. 

Yeahhhhhh...
