chix & pastrami sammies & fries 12.16.09

-

we watched a show on the best sandwiches in the country...and most of them were pastrami...which i must say is one of my favorite.  so scott went to the store and got boar's head shaved pastrami...decided to use the whole wheat bread we already had, but rye would have been so yummy...slathered with mustard...scott even pan warmed my pastrami for me...smelled like bacon almost.  he made his famous fries for us too...i peeled, cut and soaked the taters while he was at the store...team work.  still recovering from a raging sinus infection...and not too focused, so only managed pics of scott's extra sandwich toppings...he choose to use our left chix mixed with bbq sauce, a little bit of pepperoni that he crisped and rendered in a hot pan (i could just eat a plate of those!), tomato & cheddar cheese...he'd made a yummy "slaw" of shredded lettuce, s&p, (oh, having a de ja vue...weird, watching the nannie diaries and blogging about sandwiches in bed)...anyway...slaw of shredded lettuce, s&p, and blue cheese dressing, that he put in freezer to chill...which we found the next morning, frozen solid...
i could eat a pastrami in rye every day...i think i could eat scott's fries every day too.
