It is like sandwich turducken!

Just because it is possible to stack an infinite number of sandwiches on top of each other does not make it a good idea! There must be limits!

Dagwood would disagree.

eta xpost!

But why would I want a burger patty with my grilled cheese sandwich?

Carl's Jr. already does one much like this, and it's pretty good if you get them to leave the mayo off. But it's a hamburger stuck inside one grilled cheese, not between two.

That I understand, it's a toasted cheeseburger. But that looks like two grilled cheese sandwiches with a patty on the side only arranged for minimum plate space. I guess it's just more toast and more cheese, but still...

It's usually called a patty melt and is similar to what megan and Connie described. Friendly's just twisted it by the adding extra bread so it's like two grilled cheese sandwiches instead of one with additional filling.

Patty melt's also usually have sauted onioins in there (and some places add Russian dressing a la a Reuben). Heart attack in a sandwich, but if done well it's mighty tasty.

FLAILING!

::ducks::

Why with the flailing?

I am just all discombobulated, stressed, and unable to focus. too much to do, no idea where to start.

Cut the blue wire first.

no idea where to start.

Dammit, woman! This is why you have lists. You have more to-do lists than anybody. Use the power of the list to organize your discombobulation.

So I'm rousing Matilda this morning in front of Nicktoons. We turn to the Amy Poehler feminist girl scout cartoon...

Me: I love The Mighty B! so much. It's the anti-princess.
TV Plays A Song: "I'm a Pretty Pretty Princess / It's a full time job / and I'm running with the Rainbow Unicorns..."

Heh. Of course, it was a parody of all things princessy while at the same time affectionate about how girls love those things.

Jesse, I want to hear more about where you went in Turkey! I spent ten days there after I finished my Peace Corps service and it was the best vacation of my life. Did you visit an underground city? Walk barefoot up the hill in Pamukkale? Swim and laze on a volcanic beach? Go to a hamam? Drink lots of apple tea? Shop for carpets and kilims? Eat lots of seafood? See bellydancers and/or whirling dervishes?

I did not do most of those! We went to Istanbul, Pergamum (not the Turkish name, I know...), Cannakale, Izmir, Kusadasi, Troy, Efes, I forget where else! I popped into the sea briefly at Kusadasi, and we went to the rug lady coop place where they show you the art and sell you (not me) rugs. I had some apple tea there! I didn't eat lots of seafood -- they fed us lots of beef, and I ate my weight in yogurt and beets. And melon. YUM.
