If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.

I sliced the bread myself. I actually cooked the bottom round also. I did not bake the bread (or make the mayo)… but I ate both sandwiches. They were fantasmic.

There is not much I like about Panera Bread restaurants (the food tastes fairly good going down, but doesn’t settle quite right). I make an exception for the tasty iced green teas.
I used to love it until i realized it was sort of a cross between Snapple and Kool-Aid. I still order it when I am forced to go to Panera (friends), but it’s no better than a sugary soda in terms of “health” (but it is tasty).

Acting’s a good racket. And lets face it, you can’t beat it for the bread.

Great quotes from Jimi Hendrix on this page, but this poem is my favorite. I had it mesmorized (and memorized) back in the day. I think it was on the inside over of Electric Ladyland…

Let’s see now…”It wasn’t too long ago, but it feels like years ago since I felt the warm hello of the sun…lately things…” And then he was interrupted by the slow motion speeded-up sound that sometimes cut so deep. That sound was from those cellophane typewriters - exactly, constantly from the south side of those carpets. And but anyway Sweet Rome was on my mind. “She gave so sweetly…” And on he walked until after crowning Ethel the Dog the Only Queen of Ears, the sky cracked wide open and split many of his brothers’ and sisters’ heads all over the world apart at approximately the same time… “That’s law and order,” said the Border Guard, as his hard head weighted something like wet bread - Which to explain through brain rain as that’s…well…Bro, is this here country all that much ahead?

And said the owner of the velvet horse who saw all this… “I just know that I’m gonna get involved here” and slqms the machine into reverse, splitting both suns apart in doing so probably. He got to Fantasy Fjords on the hurry up side and also can you dig… Oh Oh! watch that stick, and judge your distance from that blue seude kick !! (Swisshhh Knock…!?!!..) Anyway, can you dig that something came by here not too terrible long at all…I was bathing my eye…Just a thousand feet above those same old tired skies and…you know, that sound there and after that, everywhere, bathed me in a physical. And he blurted out the sound burnt the side of his inner wall also passing by, and the liquid rainbow melted EROS all through hios rooms and rooms of ears that he was hiding from Ethel the Queeny. And he thumbed a lift from his head and heads straight to anywhere to tell his woman, the world; that it was physical…GASP. And (the cellophane begins to crattle and crake) his old lady, Terra Mama, jumps in his face and says, “What’s physical?!” and he stutters, smiles, and retaliates with…well..

After eating bread with the little tabs, do not put the tab back on the bread. Spin the bread and tuck the flap under.
Eggs trying to hide


title=”You can’t run and you can’t hide - because you’re an egg.” alt=”Eggs hiding under cheese” />



I don’t have children so I don’t really have an excuse for making this. I just had some processed cheese in the fridge, which I generally don’t understand and am always a little unsure how best it might be used. In this experiment, the processed cheese slice did not (as ever) add anything that you would miss were it not there. I like it when narrative is introduced to meal-times, though. Why is the egg hiding? Shame? Guilt? Fear? Depression? The scene could be made a whole lot more dramatic by the addition of a blob of tomato sauce somewhere beneath the cheese blanket.



Serves: 1



Time: 10 mins



Ingredients:

1 egg

1 slice processed cheese

Wholemeal/granary bread

1 Tbsp skimmed milk

1 clove garlic

Half Tbsp olive oil

Half tsp dried herbs such as tarragon, basil, oregano

Black pepper

Small pinch salt

Lo-fat, no-transfat margarine

Ketchup (optional)


Method:

Finely chop the garlic and gently fry it and the pepper in the oil for a few minutes until the garlic is cooked and just starting to colour. Toast a slice of bread. Beat the milk and herbs into the egg, turn the heat up on the garlic and pour in the egg, giving it a quick stir. Let it sit for a few moments while you quickly spread the margarine on the toast. Start to scramble the eggs with a chopstick or something. Just as they are about to set, throw in the pinch of salt and stir it through before tipping it all out onto the toast. If you are feeling macabre, add the blob of ketchup before dropping the cheese slice on top.

Supposedly:

This is an actual job application a 17-year-old boy submitted at a McDonald’s fast-food establishment in Florida – and they hired him because he was so honest and funny!

NAME: Greg Bulmash

DESIRED POSITION: Company’s President or Vice President. But seriously, whatever’s available. If I were in a position to be picky, I wouldn’t be applying here in the first place.

MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen pens and post-it notes.

PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30-3:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?

Yes, but they’re better suited to a more intimate environment.

MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER? If I had one, would I be here?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 LBS? Of what?

DO YOU HAVE A CAR?

I think the more appropriate question here would be “Do you have a car that runs?”

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?

I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing house Sweepstakes.

DO YOU SMOKE?

On the job no, on my breaks yes.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?

Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blonde super model who thinks I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I’d like to be doing that now.

DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?

Yes – Absolutely.
