From our Food Goddess, TaMara:
Yesterday would have been The King’s 80th birthday. I like Elvis, but I’m young enough that I missed out on the frenzy of all things Elvis. Though, I’ve managed my own six degrees of separation…
My friend has an adorable, sweet story of how he hit on her (she was very much engaged at the time) when she worked on a film with him. She remembers him as a complete gentleman and had a lovely conversation between takes.
I met his step-brother years ago and he also had only wonderful things to say about him, especially when he was just a young boy and Elvis was already an American icon. Family was important.
So how does this get us to the recipe exchange tonight? All over the news last night was the story of how one of his favorite sandwiches was created right here in Denver. It had bacon, so I had to try it.
I’m not well versed in Elvis’ favorite foods. Fried banana sandwiches (recipe here) were about it, but I searched around, turns out there is a whole cookbook of his favorite foods, recipes and links here. Seems to be a lot of bacon involved.
How about you, what unusual things do you like to make into a sandwich? My brothers like peanut butter and dill pickles. I love lettuce, tomato and mayo on whole wheat. What else is on the weekend menu?
Tonight’s featured recipe is my take on Elvis’ favorite Mile High sandwich and you can find the whole story and video here.
Fool’s Gold Sandwich1 foot-long loaf Italian, French or Sourdough bread
2 tablespoons butter, melted
16 ounces creamy peanut butter (I used crunchy, because that’s what I liked)
16 ounces grape or blueberry preserves (I used an all fruit style, no added sugar)
1 pound baconPreheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice the bread in half, length-wise, coat with butter. Place on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes
While the bread is in the oven, fry the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Hollow out one of the bread halves, fill with an entire jar of peanut butter and an entire jar of preserves. Top with bacon and top with the other half of the loaf. Slice to serve. I have no idea how many this would serve, I made enough for 2 servings instead of the entire recipe.
That’s it for this week. For the pet lovers, here’s some new Bixby, and here and his favorite new treat here. Next week…I think something chocolate – TaMara

Eww peanut butter and bacon and blueberry preserves. I think I will pass.

Favorite sandwich. Green chutney (think of it as a cilantro pesto with coconut and ginger) sandwiches with tomatoes and cucumber. You can add boiled potatoes and eggs if you want to make the sandwich more filling.

Drugs suck, and they’ll kill you if you let them. I remember that when Michael Jackson died, his ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley wrote a really sweet essay about their brief marriage, and reading between the lines, her take was, I fell in love with him because he was a hugely talented drug addict just like my dad.

Mine’s a heart wrecker.
Multi grain bread(or sourdough), mayo, swiss cheese, smoked turkey, salami, peperoni. You can class it up a bit with spinach/herb 50/50 mix but that moves it up healthy scale a notch or so and that will never do.
Damn, now I’m hungry.

I’m not particularly inventive with my sandwiches — the classic post-Thanksgiving turkey and stuffing sandwich (with cranberry!) is about as crazy as I get. Though, as I have mentioned many times before, I do believe that the bahn mi is the world’s greatest sandwich invention — Asian flavors on a nice crunchy piece of baguette.
Random overhead sandwich comment the other day: “I don’t mind eating a hamburger from lettuce, but a sandwich has to have bread.”
MomSense
My favorite sandwich is a grilled cheese with Swiss, provolone, veggies, avocado and a touch of cucumber dill dressing.
I also like to make warm wraps with eggplant, roasted red peppers, provolone, and some garlic mayo.
Gravenstone
My weird sandwich, first cobbled together at some point when I was in high school, and thus subject to the seemingly endless teenage hunger. Chunky peanut butter, iceberg lettuce and Miracle Whip on buttered toast. Yes, it had to be MW because I am a midwesterner and that’s simply what we eat. I’ve not experimented with other lettuces or actual mayo, let alone fancy breads, but it’s a nice occasional burst of nostalgia for me. It’s pretty much universally decried and denounced by everyone I ever mention it to.
Omnes Omnibus
@Gravenstone:
You may add me to the list.

@Omnes Omnibus: I love baked brie too, I usually bake it wrapped in pie dough with cranberry chutney or pesto. Will have to try your version. What wine do you drink with brie?
jl
I’d be game for a nibble, but not sure I could get through 4 pounds of bread, p-butter, jelly and bacon.
But in the recipe above, you very considerately only have 16 ounces of jelly and p-butter and only one foot of bread. I’ll start out small and try that.
NotMax
That recipe sounds both revolting and disgusting, not to mention blatantly salty. All that’s missing is dipping it into the bacon grease as if it was some perversion of a French Dip sandwich.
jl
@NotMax: No, melted butter. Salted butter. Now we’re talking! Heavy cream would work to, it’d go nice with the blueberry jelly.
Then there is chocolate.
Omnes Omnibus
@schrodinger’s cat: I’d go with red. But then, I have a strong preference for reds. However, with a brie, I wouldn’t go for something too overpowering. A nice merlot, perhaps? Or a pinot noir? I think a Beaujolais would be too sweet. YMMV.

PB and mayo on anything was for some reason (need for calories?) a fave of a dancer friend. It’s actually OK, if the PB is not too sweet.

If eating a nice, rare roast beef (or any other sort of beef, for that matter) horseradish is a nice addition.

So, I am going to take some advil and deal with all the car, insurance, and doctor messes tomorrow. I did manage to have my first ride in the back of a police car. That was kind of fun. We were on our way home from looking at some puppies so my son thinks we should name a new puppy Crash.

I’ve been lusting for a pastrami sandwich lately. Had a dentist’s appointment Wednesday and then treated myself to an early lunch at the Lost Dog Café in Arlington, a place that I’ve been scoping out for a while but hadn’t been to. The pastrami sandwich was darn good, but it wasn’t quite great, so my lust is still not slaked. And it had a little slaw on it. I want lots of pastrami and mustard. Silver lining was that I had a North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner that was quite good. Bought a six-pack to bring home.
Last month I took bro’ man’s greyhound to Philadelphia for a spa day at NGAP (National Greyhound Adoption Program)—teeth cleaning and nail trimming. They really know greyhounds and do great work, so it’s worth the trip. I take my old friend and we get caught up on the ride.
Anyway, we drop off the hound and then always go to South Philly to get a roast beef sandwich at Nick’s. Awesome. Found a YouTube video here. Money shots begin at 3:20. Excellent beef, fresh-baked buns, and the gravy fries are awesome too. It’s a great pilgrimage every six-eight months or so.

@Mnemosyne (iPad Mini):
My mom was a caterer and I grew up in the kitchen. Mom talked occasionally about opening her own place but knew the pitfalls. As you noted the big failure is not understanding the business. The big shock for a lot of them is that cooking for 30 people is actually not that hard until 7 of those 3 want the chicken with sauce, 2 want the shrimp, 13 want the steak (1 R, 5 M-R, 6 M and 1 WD) 3 want the fish but 1 of those does not want it broiled, 2 want something vegetarian off-menu 1 wants the pork chop, 1 wants the meatloaf and 1 wants the chef salad without onions – they all have to arrive on time & perfect, your bartender is drinking up the profits, a waitress called in sick and a waiter is having a fight with the busboy that is interfering with service and your supplier didn’t have all the tomatoes you ordered so he substituted eggplant.
I worked in 2 restaurants in high school & saw some combination of all of those things more than once. Kept me out of the business!

Be sure not to settle any insurance claims related to your physical self for a month or two–they say three–because problems show up later that weren’t evident at the time. Hopefully that’s not the case for you but if they do show up you don’t want to have settled that part of the insurance too soon.

One of the several reasons I bought my Subaru was the safety ratings.

Now as good sandwiches go, there is a place in Glendale on Victory, small place, eat there is on tables on the sidewalk. Called Pecos Bill’s, family owned, now third generation, opened in 1949.

To the DA to complain about his client and why and to the state bar to file a complaint about him. His response was that I would have a check the next day. And I did.
