Beef w/ baby spinach

Okay, so why is some baby spinach so much bigger than others? The gigando leaves in my "baby" spinach salad that I made for myself for lunch are annoying me. Trying to eat while "working" at my desk, and it's just not acceptable.

Searching for just the right-sized baby spinach...and for a weather update...it's raining again.

How come I can't get a monte cristo sandwhich made the way I want it? I first discovered the joy of the monte cristo at the Sheraton by the airport, but haven't found an acceptable substitute yet.

It should be french toast with ham, turkey & swiss melted inside and powdered sugar sprinkled over the top. A good dark-berry jam on the side is a must.

I just had one at the Rock Bottom that was okay, but they used some sort of batter for the bread & it was just too greasy. And they used strawberry jam with big chunks of strawberrys in it...too hard to spread.

I had one a couple of weeks ago that had cinnamon toast instead of powdered sugar. What the...?

I prefer adult spinach. It has lived a long life and has a more aged aroma. Also, damn cruel to club baby spinach to death.
As for the monte cristo...every sandwich...no...every food item should be prepared in the same manner...batter deep fried and sprinkle with sugar with a side of jelly. In fact, I would dip it in chocolate after deep frying and before the sugar sprinkle. My mouth is watering and Death is calling my name.

The Monte Christo is the perfect sandwhich. It's for when you don't have time to also get dessert. Only Jim Caviezel himself could have created such a wonderful food.


But don't listen to any gastronomical advice from AJ.
Back in the days gone by, 4th grade or so, dinner at AJ's meant having his dad heat up a can of Hormel's corn beef hash, in the can, and then eat it with a spoon while watching Beastmaster on Showtime.*

Personally I like to chop my baby spinach into smaller pieces because of my dainty mouth, so I know of which LB speaks.

*Dinner at my house meant AJ had to do yardwork at my gramma's house, then send him home before we had dinner.

Birdflag is correct...my mother started taking college courses at night so we were left to fend for ourselves...however, my father did evolved to making groul (can of cream of chicken and can of tuna mixed with minute rice) and watch in Troll 3.
DON'T HATE ON THE BEAST MASTER. The right side up human sized bat creatures that wrapped their arm-wings around people and digested them instantly were perhaps the greatest sci-fi cinematic creation.
