M. (hristine Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Somehow I managed to lose nearly 20 pounds since June, and my A1C was back down well within the "good" range. For once, a doctor's appointment wasn't depressing. All of your hard work is paying off. Congrats, Tom! Fantastic news! Done.Wander round Tower Hill, boat to Embankment, wander up Whitehall to Trafalgar Square. Back to work - but meeting for meal this evening. Kidsmoke taking many many photos. Tom is a top man. I'm so jealous.Have a great time tonight. Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 I am eating a delicious cuban sandwich. I've found that when I get pickles on a sandwich I usually eat about half of the sandwich with pickles and then take the rest off. It's a nice change for the back half of the sandwich.

I've found that when I get pickles on a sandwich I usually eat about half of the sandwich with pickles and then take the rest off. It's a nice change for the back half of the sandwich.Back when I still ate such things, I would always eat the pickles off my fast-food hamburger first, then eat the hamburger. I like pickles, and I like hamburgers, but not always both together. Twobobs, does Cuban taste like chicken? Link to post Share on other sites

deepseacatfish Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 PS if your composition classes yeild anything significant at the end of the semester or year, you should post (or at least PM) a YSI of the MP3 file that finale/sibelius can create?

I like pickles, and I like hamburgers, but not always both together. Twobobs, does Cuban taste like chicken? Per Wikipedia: The traditional Cuban sandwich is made with Cuban bread. The bread is cut in half and buttered on both sides. Dill pickles, roast pork, ham, and Swiss cheese are cold, added in layers and thinly sliced. The pork is an essential ingredient and it needs to be slow roasted with Cuban spices, giving the pork a distinct garlic and citrus flavor. The sandwich is then lightly toasted in a sandwich press called a "plancha" until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted. The press both heats and compresses the sandwich. A traditional Cuban sandwich includes yellow mustard, but never mayonnaise, lettuce, or tomato. Although I like to add mayo and turkey to mine (and today, since they didn't have roast pork, I added roast beef. It had the basic cuban sandwich features, but expanded to make it even more delicious.) Link to post Share on other sites
