Dunno, but last night my wife made the most fabulous Philly cheesesteak. A deli could stay in business on the reputation of that sandwich. |

I refuse to answer under the grounds that I might incriminate myself. (in other words, I ordered a freakishly tasty pizza sub from the shop next to my laundromat )

Yum, all these salads sound good. Anybody have a really good method of warming up tortillas, flat breads, rotis etc.? Getting them warm enough while keeping them soft (I use whole wheat ones, usually) is a bit of a pain. ? |

This works well, but only for flat breads and tortillas, or if you have a large sandwich or hamburger that's too big to take a bite out of. My commute is about 25 mins so it is plenty of time. Pull your pants down and slip a pita under each thigh and cheek. A leather interior works best, but does impart a different "flavor", if you will. I don't have any suggestions if you have a family of five, other than I suppose you could stop half-way home and change sides if you had them double stacked. By the time you get home they are nice and soft and warm. Now, I have a great recipe for a wilted salad... |

I ended up looking the pronunciation. I ordered it once in a restaurant and asked the waitress how to pronounce. She had no idea. BTW It's wonderful! Goto Nicoise: http://library.sullivan.edu/CPI/culterms.htm |

Man, they have a web site for everything. Although, I've always found cooking shows were they pronounce the foreign names in the original language comes across as pretentious. I say, Ri-COT-uh, you say Ree-CO-tuh. |

I love Niçoise...I make it quite frequently in the summer months when I have fresh green beans. Sue...having you tried steaming your bread? If I want something warm and moist, not toasted or grilled, I put an open rack over a pan of boiling water and lay the bread/tortilla on it. That's the way my mom did sandwich buns when I was a kid and I have always liked them that way, warm and soft. |

Thanks Deb, good idea. Steam! I'll play with that. I'm trying to get a whole stack warmed (we do make-your-own fajitas at the table) just saw apple's post, thanks, that sounds good too. I love this place.

Wow, it all sounds good to me. We had homemade ravioli left over from yesterday (Sunday). The tomato sauce always tastes better the second day after the meat (beef and pork chunks, meatballs with pignoli nuts, and hot Italian sausage) juices have had more time to infuse the sauce. For dessert, I had a 3.5 oz bar of Lindt “Intense Pear” dark chocolate. |

Homemade pizza is good! Have you ever tried it on the grill? |
