I spoke to my dad this morning after his surgery. They stopped his heart and then restarted it with a different, they hope, rhythm. I said, "How you doing?" to which my dad, the stoic, replied, "Not too bad."

Geez, dad. They killed you and brought you back to life. ARGH.

This happened to my dad, too. Only he told me about it six months after it happened.

Let's just say that the man cheated death twice in the space of six months.

I like either mayo or butter on a sandwich. depends on what is in the sandwich, though.

In totally other news, I've discovered today that there are 3 patron saint who protect against dog bites. One also protects against oversleeping, though I'm not sure how the concepts connect.

Depends on how hungry your dog is, I guess.

I like mayo on lots of things. Especially good on Salmon croquettes and on Asparagus. But good on sandwiches too.

Inspired by retro cookbooks, which seem to never use mayo on a sandwich, I have been using butter more and more. It is completely awesome with Italian Bread, meats and cheeses.

I am so sorry Kathy That is horrible.

The 2nd best sandwich I ever ate was made with butter-soaked toast. Well, and lobster salad, which admittedly may have had more to do with it being one of the best ever.

Well, those things go quite well together. NOM.

Wow, today must be wedding day! Happy anniversary to the Miracleborns, to Scrappy and her fabulous DH, and to Sox and her DH.

I find that sandwich objectively awful. Did Capt'n Crunch tear the shit out of the roof of your mouth, or was that just me?

One of my favorite sandwiches is the poorboy from Merischka's restaurant in Joliet. Beef in the middle with what they call "garlic butterine" dripping off of the bread. Yummmmmm.

Ok, now I'm hungry. I already had half a steak sandwich for lunch, and the SO is going to make chili for dinner. What am I going to do now? I blame you.
