These sound and look incredible!!
I miss the days when my father-in-law had a deep-sea fishing boat. He got me hooked on fishing that way and then sold the thing. Sadness. Now you’re showing me this and making me wish I was back out there so I COULD catch a fish with my own hands, make this and then chow down. It looks and sounds delicious.
OUTSTANDING! OMG, I think I love this sandwich. Want.
Now, how do you find the time to work, develop sites, run two blogs, race, ride bikes and cook? Wonder Woman?
Somedays I wonder the same thing myself ;D
This sandwich is killing me – wow oh wow oh wow oh wow!
