We adopted Luee from the Humane Society in 1996. He was 2 years old, but still a pup. He has slowed down a bit; his age is catching up to him. He is the best dog anyone could ever have. Luee had to be put to sleep on April 15, 2009. Rest in Peace Pup.

THREE CHEERS FOR MONTAGU


Happy Wednesday Guys and Dolls:

My posts for the next two weeks might be far and few between as I have some issues to take care of in the way of medical tests, but have no fear JoeyZ will be posting as much as he can.

Today we celebrate “National Sandwich Day.” The sandwich was created today because of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. Today in fact we celebrate his 292 birthday. Legend has it that Montagu a heavy gambler did not want to leave the table for his meal, he ordered salted meat between two slices of bread and thus the sandwich became history. Maybe the guys around him called out, “Hey I’ll take one of those sandwiches.”

I read the number one sandwich in the US is the hamburger, but JoeyZ is going to give you a list of his favorite sandwiches and some he would love to try:

A Rossi’s Cheeseburger which I know I’m not having in the near future, so I’ll settle for Roe’s Chuck Cheeseburger, really tender and juicy with a slice of tomato, onion and salsa.

Cheese Pork Roll with Spicy Brown mustard. The roll could be a round hard roll or a hamburger bun.

Cheese Steak with Peppers and Onions on a torpedo roll.

Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onion the same roll as the cheese steak.

French Dip with onions and hot au jus sauce for dipping.

On Thanksgiving Night Turkey on a dinner roll with stuffing, hot gravy and cranberry sauce.

I want a Chicago Hot Dog on a poppy seed bun with the true Chicago works and I would also like to try one of those Chicago beef sandwiches dipped in sauce.

Rueben Sandwich had only one but I did like it.

I have never tried a Pastrami or Corn Beef on Rye, maybe one day.

Hot turkey or roast beef open faced sandwiches, love those with some mash potatoes or fries.

How could I forget a good BLT with the bacon nice and crisp, fresh red tomatoes, lettuce on good white toast with mayo.

Liverwurst with brown mustard on Italian bread.

Well Speakies there are a few on my favorites feel free to speak up and we have to say one thing “THANK YOU THE 4TH EARL OF SANDWICH.” Have a great day Speakies.

Er .. hey Joe, while you are in the kichen, I'll have the same as you but toss a handful of Wise on my liverwurst willya' ?

for awhile, I was getting my burger at the Pennington Market and they had fresh ground sirloin. It came as close to a Rossi burger as I ever had. My son was apathetic to food but would beg me to make him two.

I think sirloin was the Rossi key?

Skip: I use to put Wise chips inside slices of American cheese, roll it up and down it went. We just started using the chuck and its a good flavor and cooks up nice for us. I'm sure there must be thousands of places that claim great burgers. Five Guys down here is good and their fries are good also.

Five Guys is not a bad burger and that is sadly the benchmark for my son by which all other burgers are measured. 5 Guys fries are good in my book too. Peanuts will always bring back memories of getting a transfer from the "S" to the "W" bus and getting sucked in by the aroma of the Planters Shop. Mom used to send me off with a note when I was 6 to get out to Whitehorse and I swear I remember Ernie Kovacs.

Glad the wedding went well, they look happy :) :)

Joe's next tome will be on his absolutely bizarre eating habits. A parody on Abby Hoffman's radical Bible for the 60's generation, the title will be "Eat This Book". Unlike Hoffman, you have to buy it before you can eat it however.

This reviewer comments: "Pass the horseradish please"

My dad went to THS with Ernie, he said he was just as crazy then. Planter's Peanut Shop, the smell on a cold winter's day before Christmas Holidays. Loved the Cashews. Use to catch the bus on the corner of Spruce and Brunswick, head uptown take the South Broad St. or Whitehorse bus to granny's. Peanuts might be a good subject to post about. Thanks Skip
