And I know EXACTLY what you mean about dinner. So many nights I feel too tired to make dinner, and yet I find a way to whip up something quick yet good instead of resorting to take-out, which is almost always disappointing compared to our good homemade food. G, my husband, really doesn't like eating out or getting take out any more. He says I've spoiled him. <BR/><BR/>For those nights when we need dinner quick quick quick, I often rely on linguine carbonara, which I can throw together pretty fast -- or a container of homemade pasta sauce or soup from the freezer. Thanks for sharing one of your good tricks; those sandwiches look delish!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-12185831680000604552007-10-08T21:10:00.000-04:002007-10-08T21:10:00.000-04:00make that haul rather than hall.
