monte cristo sandwiches

when lucy was little

we ate frequently at the old folks home

otherwise known as riverside country club

and she'd order a monte cristo sandwich

every time.

we decided a month ago that on the

first day of autumn we would make

monte cristo sandwiches for dinner.

monte cristo sandwiches are basically:

turkey, ham and swiss sandwiches

deep fried in a batter

sprinkled with powdered sugar

and garnished with jam.

so how can you beat that?

pro:

they were really tasty
like a donut sandwich?
yes, if you can dig it.

con:

they made my house smell like fried food

which always smells like fish to me

and who likes a fishy smelling house?

pro:

the kids loved 'em

con:

they won't work as left overs

pro: 

they were fun to produce.

con:

like other crazy fried food

they should only be eaten about 

once a year.

well, that about sums up our

monte cristo adventure tonight.

thanks for tuning in.

oh yes, and this is the recipe we used.

ryan shupe & the rubberband's brand new shoes

we have been listening to
 ryan shupe and the rubberband's latest album

brand new shoes

over and over again in our car.

i am going to tell you what i said to chup

just yesterday:

"chup," said i, "i really like this album.

it makes me feel like we are driving on sunshine

as we go down the road."

it's happy."

the chief even likes it.

we listen to the song "my dandelion"

on repeat.

i also like, "cry."

the music is intelligent,

the lyrics are funny

(and sometimes touching),

it really is (oh no! cliche!)

great for the whole family.

 and produced by the always-brilliant
mr. scott wiley.

check it out here.

and incidentally
i have brand new shoes--
they are pink.
