Easy Panini Making

So a quick Merry Christmas to everyone (though it’s a bit late).   I got to spend my Christmas at my Mom’s with her boyfriend, my sister and my brother in law.  We had a pretty good time, the typical talking, eating, watching movies, opening of gifts visit you would expect from a family visit on Christmas.

One of my gifts was a Panini Grill, and I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit.  I’ve made a few sandwiches pictured above because well.. I was excited.  It’s super easy to use and clean and makes amazingly yummy food.  With a quick warm up time of a minute I’m able to plug it in, make my sandwich, and toss it on the grill.  Close the lid and come back in about 2 minutes to a nice grilled sandwich.

If you guys eat panini’s or have any ideas for some stuffings leave me some comments and I’ll try ‘em out.

Kat visits, a delayed post

Just noticed that again I’ve been neglecting the site so I thought I’d toss out an update.

Kat was super awesome and made a trip to see me in mid November. It was a pretty productive visit compared to her previous visits. We actually left the apartment for more than just food!  Impressive I know…

Quick points:

  • Kat got to physically meet Charaya, a mutual friend of ours.
  • We visited the International Friendship Bell
  • Kat actually got to meet my Mom and Sister
  • Got to eat lunch with Sarah in a Japanese restaurant that had a drive through…
  • We watched UP!  Though we had to buy it twice..
  • She made me a man’s meal! (haha, Manwich.. good stuff)
  • Kat put on a musical performance
  • Walked all over Oak Ridge
  • Had some relaxing time together

I think that covers most of it.  I’m actually pretty impressed I was able to remember that much after this long.
