So… in light of the recent holiday, I want to talk sandwich.
All year long, I *thoroughly* enjoy a “Thanksgiving” sandwich. My idea is turkey, cranberry, stuffing (and that stuffing and the turkey better be at least warm), on a crusty, peasant-y bread or roll. I will love you forever if you actually grill it like a panini, and have the cranberry sauce squeeze out on the sides so I have to lick it off my fingers. Mayo and/or cheese is sacrilege. Don’t put it NEAR my sandwich. Also, don’t touch my sandwich with anything that goes into a salad. Also wrong. There is no crunch in my Thanksgiving sandwich, just ooey, gooey warm happiness.
Come to think of it, my second favorite sandwich, a club, also features turkey. I have a very, VERY soft spot for my elementary school field trip standby, peanut butter and grape jelly, though.
What are your favorites?
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.
