Grilled Eggplant, Arugula and Mozzarella Panini -ish
Sliced fresh tomatoes or roasted red bell peppers are an excellent addition to these sandwiches.
4 eggplant slices, each 1/2 inch thick
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
8 slices country-style bread, each 1/2 inch thick
2 cups loosely packed arugula leaves
4 to 6 oz. fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the eggplant on the panini maker and close the lid; be sure it makes even contact with the eggplant. Cook until dark grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the eggplant to a warmed plate.
Brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil. Lay 4 of the bread slices, oiled side down, on a clean work surface, and arrange the eggplant, arugula and mozzarella on the bread, seasoning each layer lightly with salt and pepper. Top each with one of the remaining bread slices, oiled side up. Season the outside of the sandwiches with salt and pepper.

Grilled Baby Leek, Green Garlic and Roast Lamb Sandwiches
8 baby leeks
8 stalks green garlic
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 garlic cloves, crushed and then minced
4 pieces rosemary or other herb-flavored
focaccia, each about 4 inches square
3/4 lb. roast lamb, thinly sliced and warmed
4 butter lettuce leaves
Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill.
Trim the leeks and the green garlic stalks to about 6 inches long, and slit them lengthwise about three-fourths of the way through. Lay them in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with the olive oil and 1/4 tsp. each of the salt and pepper. Turn the leeks and green garlic in the oil to coat them well. Let stand for at least 15 minutes or up to several hours before grilling.
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, minced garlic and the remaining 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
When the fire is ready, lay the leeks and green garlic on the grill rack. Grill...

And what they said wasn't insulting? |
What they said was insulting also. Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and many other religions have to deal with insulting shirts and other items. Just like those of us who are not religious sometimes have to deal with religious people coming to tell us how we are going to burn in hell for our wicked ways.
He had a right to wear that shirt. They choose to come up to him and start the argument in an offensive manner.
The Scientologists can believe whatever they want to believe in, they have that right but they will have to learn to deal with the slings and arrows that most religions have to deal with also. |
My thoughts exactly!

It does sound like a couple of blokes watching TV, with what I think are continually looped crowd sounds. Still, better than nothing while I'm at work.
