Panini Love

I love gadgets and tools. My family always laughs at me. When my Mom says "have you seen......" my sister B will say "just wait, I'm sure Tami has bought it and will tell us all about it". They know me so well. I need to do some kind of Gadget Posts-using all the gadgets and tools I have bought over the years! I recently purchased a panini grill. I have been thinking about it for awhile. I kept thinking that I shouldn't-I could just use my stovetop grill with a brick. Well, that doesn't sound like fun, so while at Kohl's two weeks ago with Hermit Crab looking for college stuff, I saw a smaller one on sale, plus I had a 30 percent off coupon, so it was almost free! I broke it in tonight for myself. Dude is working, Hermit Crab is hot and crabby from working in the field and Drama Queen is at a friend's house to go to the midnight showing of Transformers. I have said it before and will say it again-I am a picky eater. I like plain, bland things and suffer from a lot of heartburn and other maladies of spicy/hot/different foods. I made my panini's with ham, turkey, cheese and a little butter and Miracle Whip. I picked up the cheese as it was said it was good for sandwiches. Nowhere does it really say WHAT kind of cheese it is, but looks to be some kind of Swiss. If Dude would have been here, I would have put onions and peppers and mustard on his, but I broke it in all by myself.

Yum, melty cheese. It was so good, I made another one! Well, I only had toast for breakfast, so I am sure I deserved two.

The garden is going crazy. My tomatoes have quadrupled in size in three weeks. The lettuce went so big it got a little bitter. I have cut it back to the ground to see if it will come back. The radishes are just about done and was thinking about planting more, but the zucchini and cukes are spreading to the area that the radishes were in. I picked some lettuce, onions and radishes and made a salad for Dude to bring to work today. The onions are so fragrent-I need to do something with them! Hopefully it will cool off a little tonight so I can bake. The bank thermometer said 100 degrees when I took Drama Queen to the dentist today-yuk! I much prefer it to be about 75 during the day and around 50 at night for sleeping. I need to move to that place.
