Fried Chicken and Pimento Cheese Sandwich

June 20, 2017

I am by no means a Southerner. I did move to the Southwest suburbs of Chicago. I do live across a main street from two rather large farms. Yet, still, I would not call myself a southerner. I don’t even know if this recipe truly does justice to two southern staples, fried chicken and pimento cheese. Northerner or Southerner, I think we can all agree this is an amazing and indulgent sandwich.

Mike and his friends have this thing. Well they have a lot of things that annoy me, like a yearlong Twitter convo that takes up most of his time. Yet, when I ask about specific details in said friends’ lives regarding visits to town or their families, his usual response is usually something along the lines of, “I don’t know. We don’t really talk about that.”

Uh, well what DO you talk about? [Read more…]

Brain fart. Brain freeze. Whatever you call what is happening with my mind this week, I blame it on the time change. And the boys. Yep. People have kids so you always have somebody to blame for why you are so crabby ooorrrr maybe for a funky smell in the room. Hm, wait, Weezer is the one that catches the blame for that most often.

Yeah, so, this week. Ugh!

If ever there was a time for the phrase, “I can’t even.” It is this week. [Read more…]

Chicken Parmesan and Kale Caesar Salad Sandwich | Sarcastic Cooking

Chicky chicky parm parm. If you know that word/phrase, then you know one of my all time favorite shows and we can still be friends. If you don’t know it then, well, I guess we can still be friends. It’s from Parks and Recreation. Amy Poehler is my spirit animal. What are your favorite shows of all time? You know, the ones that when nothing is on TV you can just binge watch old reruns and still love the heck out of them even though you know every single line? [Read more…]

Candied Bacon and Caramelized Onion BLT

February 10, 2016

Are you guys still recovering from Super Bowl? Nah, just me? I definitely made way too much food for just us two adults and one kiddo. Then may or may not have got a little crazy and ordered $40 worth of bacon cheeseburger pizzas after Andy went to bed. Don’t worry mom, only a moderate amount of alcohol was involved. It was a Sunday after all! [Read more…]

Everything Brioche Burger Buns

May 20, 2015

Something I learned from my years of vegetarianism, aside from the fact that I love a good beefy burger, was that good bread can make or break a sandwich. When all your toppings consist of vegetables, you really need that good bread with a crunchy crisp crust and soft fluffy interior to pull the whole thing together.

There is nothing worse than compiling or ordering all your favorite fillings inside a sandwich and then the bread falls apart. What?!?! Ugh, might as well have ordered a salad. [Read more…]
