Sandwiches are fun\u2026the combinations are endless and vary from incredibly simple to really fancy.<br \/>\nI just bought a pannini grill &#8211; what fun to play with my new toy. So far I\u2019ve grilled eggplant, portobello mushrooms, medallions of pork tenderloin and a number of grilled cheese sandwiches. Yum.<br \/>\nLately I\u2019ve been dining on the basic grilled cheese but also meatloaf with a big slice of cheddar and good ol\u2019 american yellow mustard. Yum Yum<br \/>\nBut yesterday I had the most incredible sandwich &#8211; one that will be toasted into my memory forever. Do you ever have those experiences? When you eat something so incredibly good that you recall years later &#8211; \u201coh, that quail dish was so good\u2026\u201d Ok, maybe it\u2019s just me\u2026<br \/>\nBack to the sandwich, my sister in law Cathy and niece Sammie trekked over to the City yesterday to visit Anne Gingrass at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.desireecafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Desiree Cafe<\/a> in the Presidio. I\u00a0 hadn&#8217;t seen the cafe since she expanded and had a hankering for her cooking.<br \/>\nWe perused the menu and Cathy decided on the grilled Ham and Cheese and I decided on the grilled Cheese with Swiss Chard and Potato. As we anxiously waited for our sandwiches we sipped on refreshing Ginger Mint tea while we played with Sammie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma\">Our sandwiches arrived golden and crispy on the outside and hot and yummy on the inside. One bite into my grilled Cheese with Swiss Chard and Potato sandwich and my taste buds did a big high five. To my chagrin, when my hands were full of sandwich Cathy switched the other half of my sandwich with her ham version. The ham was great too but that chard sandwich\u2026between two pieces of sturdy white sandwich bread was a slice of melted white cheddar, a generous layer of sauteed swiss chard and tender discs of creamer potatoes. I enjoyed every bite of my Chard sandwich and will be craving it for weeks to come.<br \/>\nLuckily the chard I planted a few weeks ago in the garden are starting to sprout\u2026off I go to check on their progress. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love sandwiches &#8211; virtually any depending on the mood.
