Monte Cristos, French Toast, Pineapple Strawberry Compote

While Choi was "busy" this weekend I had a craving french toast. This turned into a craving for a Monte Cristo.

A short soliloquy on Monte Cristos: Even though I had my first one about a year ago, Monte Cristos are amazing for a very important food mathematics equation:

French Toast + Grill Ham and Cheese Sandwich <>

The sum of the parts is great than the parts themselves.

Pineapple Strawberry Compote:

1 Cup Fresh Pineapple

1 Tbl Strawberry Jam

1 Tbl Simple Syrup

Put the ingrediants in a food processor and blend. Spread over anything and enjoy!

Tried this recipe today. Nothing particularly amazing about it. Good diet buster though. Would recommend more sweet potatos but that's just me and my sweet potato obsession.

Enjoy!

Worst Buffet Ever (0)

On the way home from Virginia Beach, we swung by a local joint thinking we'd get some great seafood. They had a father's day buffet.

We regret not just going to Wendy's.

The food was unflavorful with a twist of dry and over cooked. It reminded me of Mitch's, which is bad because Mitch's is free.

Moral: if you're ever just driving around the Eastern Shore, stay away from the Island House.
