Insane Sandwich

This is a recipe from the NY Times. It was rad and totally gross at the same time. So what I did was make a pocket in a slice of challah bread and stuff it with grated swiss cheese- the recipe called for Gruyere but I can't eat raw milk since I'm pregnant. Then I soaked the stuffed bread in an egg, milk and salt and pepper mixture while I slowly fried thinly sliced apple pieces in olive oil. After that you place the bread in the pan, cover the top with more apple slices and cook it through. You've got to flip it a couple times to get everything golden brown.

I kind of liked it, but it was pretty sick. It felt really gluttonous. I've never eaten a Monte Cristo before, but once my brother did before we went looking at houses he wanted to buy and he completely exploded. It's a shame because he was such a nice brother. Needless to say he didn't buy a house and I never ate a Monte Cristo sandwich!

LOL!!!!

Remember how I fell asleep while driving that day? That damn sandwich was dangerous, but oh-so delicious. This one you made looks just as good! A bit of ham and goat cheese and jelly would be a nice addition on the top.

BTW, I LOVE the sweater (are you going to photo-copy it so both the girls can wear it?) and the bedroom is looking super awesome. What a great place to grow up!
