Paninis!

It is the year of the Panini!  I am now the proud owner of a Cuisinart Griddler Jr. Panini grill.  I have had it on my Amazon wish list forever and I decided last week to move it to the cart and start grilling sandwiches – I mean, Panini.  Sounds so much better than a sandwich, doesn’t it?  Aggie is almost as thrilled as I am – she is a big bread crust eater.  Our first gourmet treat was a grilled provolone on rye.  Excellent!  A grilled Cuban! After a trip to the grocery, we had a grilled tomato, gouda and bacon on sourdough.  The possibilities are seemingly endless – I am looking forward to a homemade reuben – or a Rachel – I haven’t decided which just yet.  The upside is using up the entire loaf of bread, instead of throwing part of it away when I think it’s too stale to eat.  So you see, you have to spend money to save money.  Right?
