Put your sandwich in it and place another, smaller cast iron pan on top. That should do it. You won't get the pretty grill marks but your sandwich will flatten out and taste pretty darned good.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04269469384082089761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-1163466459474397972006-11-13T17:07:00.000-08:002006-11-13T17:07:00.000-08:00OH MY GOODNESS!

Maybe a frying pan with a foil covered rock on it??? Your Fleur de Sel mentioned earlier used to be available in our local gourmet store, but the last time I needed some, they had switched to a different brand. Glad I can find it elsewhere! Really enjoyed my visit to your blog!Farmgirl Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596602094024708943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-1163347446461489782006-11-12T08:04:00.000-08:002006-11-12T08:04:00.000-08:00Oh, that panini looks wonderful — what a trio of t...Oh, that panini looks wonderful — what a trio of tastes that work so well together!<BR/><BR/>As for Paris, I wish everyone a visit. It is so layered, so mysterious, like a constant carnival with its quiet corners. My previous visits have been no longer than a few days. I hope that when I finally spend two weeks there, she (for of course, Paris is a woman!) does not disappoint me. Let's see, about 185 days left...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904171824244129391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-1163269291373552152006-11-11T10:21:00.000-08:002006-11-11T10:21:00.000-08:00We once bought Andouille in France not knowing wha...We once bought Andouille in France not knowing what was in it and I thought it tasted a bit like a mild ham. It was only after I discovered what it was that we now avoid it. Just shows you what our minds tell us. As for Paris Christine you are definitely not going to believe this ....I have never been to Paris!!! My husband has been before he met me but says he hates cities, I think it's a cop out. I will get there one day. Maybe even to Melissa's! I did go to Brighton yesterday and my favourite place is the bagel shop and yesterday's special was grilled halloumi with sundried tomatoes and avocado now how about that. Except I had to bring my own gluten free roll but it was still gorgeous.<BR/>AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-1163265967143844122006-11-11T09:26:00.000-08:002006-11-11T09:26:00.000-08:00That looks like a fantastic sandwich!

I think you have found a treasure - tell Melissa she did well!<BR/><BR/>We were just discussing Andouille yesterday - here in France it's made with tripe (stomach) and, as I hate tripe I normally avoid it. It also tends to be quite course - so you really know (or not) what you are eating. I'll try this with a different sausage...chorizo maybe?..Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106770684223181487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-1163251982981086422006-11-11T05:33:00.000-08:002006-11-11T05:33:00.000-08:00I love the sound of this combination.

Sometimes I sneak in there for an afternoon latte and one of their really gooey, wonderful chocolate bombes. They're so decadent and calorie-laden, and delicious!<BR/>I have a photo of one somewhere in my archives. I should pull it out and post it so my friend Anne in the UK can really be jealous!<BR/><BR/>And to my old classmate Anne,<BR/>Sorry, I win in the jealousy department. Nothing can compare to being able to get on a train and be in Paris in a couple of hours. Nothing! :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04269469384082089761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10950366.post-1163185149018787622006-11-10T10:59:00.000-08:002006-11-10T10:59:00.000-08:00Now you envy me popping across to France and I env...Now you envy me popping across to France and I envy you going to the Beachcomber Cafe and Chocolot in Davis. Andouille sausage in France is totally different to yours I think its made of what we call chitterlings.<BR/>AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
