I don’t think I’ve made a post on here about food, so here goes! 😃

I’ll go first…I just love eating uncooked pasta. It has such a satisfying crunch and the tomato pasta and wholewheat pasta are my faves! This has been a habit that I’ve had ever since I’ve had teeth and people are always surprised that I haven’t damaged my teeth doing this. I enjoy pasta cooked too!

    Bacon and cream cheese sandwich on white bread.

    It’s the second greatest sandwich ever.

        Last time I made it, I fried the bread in a little bacon grease.

        The point is that you don’t want the bread to distract you from the core ingredients. Bacon and cream cheese are magical, the way they complement each other.

          Oh for sure! Toasting the bread to a light gold in a toaster or broiled in the oven gives it structure and texture. The carmelized starches also bring out more flavor from both the cream cheese and Bacon.

          Not sure i would fry bread in bacon grease. I’ve done it, but i personally find Bacon grease too heavy and less flavorful than butter or margarine. You also lose the structure/texture of the bread.

        Peanut butter and jelly, of course.

        I was having lunch in the break room once, and a wise old man came in and asked me what I was eating.

        “Peanut butter and jelly,” I said.

        “I think that’s the best sandwich they ever did come up with,” he replied, then walked away.

        I think about that a lot.

          He’s right. It’s one of the great sandwiches, for sure.

          I’ve taken to eating mine open faced. 1 slice of bread with PB and jam on it. Of course I guess it’s not technically a sandwich any more…
