Cómo Preparar un Sándwich de Mantequilla de Maní y Mermelada (en Español)

pbj

Editors Note: It’s back to school time, all y’all! (I picked that up in Texas)

In the spirit of learning and sharing and eating lunch out of some sort of overpriced sustainable tote bag, here’s a lesson on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, in Spanish. An ES first!

Enjoy some 101 Español by ES friend, Juanito.

Para aquellas personas que siempre han querido probar ese plato tan
emblemático de Gringolandía, aquí les enseño paso a paso a preparar el
famoso sándwich de mantequilla de maní y mermelada.

1)  Se saca una barra de pan de molde.  El sándwich tradicional se
prepara con pan blanco, pero se puede usar pan integral para un
sándwich más saludable.

2) Se saca la mantequilla de maní (cremosa o crujiente).

3) Se saca la mermelada, de preferencia a base de uva.  También se
puede usar mermelada de fresa.

4) Se saca dos rebanadas de pan.

5) Se abre los envases de mantequilla de maní y mermelada.

6) Usando un cuchillo, se unta de mermelada una rebanada de pan.

7) Usando un cuchillo, se unta la mantequilla de maní sobre la segunda
rebanada de pan.

8 ) Se coloca la rebanada untada de mantequilla de maní encima de la
rebanada untada de mermelada.

9) El sándwich de mantequilla de maní debe tomarse con un vaso de leche fría.

¡Buen provecho!

Maybe I’m watching more television these days (well, what else are you supposed to do after college anyway?) but commercials over the last year or two have gotten increasingly annoying. I know nobody can forget the Lenten McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish jingle (GIVE ME BACK THAT FILLET-O-FISH, GIVE ME THAT FISH…sorry), or the YouTube fan rap turned commercial advertising McNuggets (who ISN’T into McNuggets, y’all?). And you can’t tell me you haven’t been to Subway for a Five Doollllaaaa Footlong.

But this time, WaWa has crossed the line…

– Everyone loves bacon (duh). But maybe a little too much. FS:

ok i thought you were joking bs, but i really tried to hump my phone when i saw this post. why would you make me suffer knowing that these things are out there and the chances of me eating them are slim?

Brittania:

I have this post link as my Gchat status, a friend writes me asking: “if i click on your status message, is it going to be work friendly?”

Who knew bacon would have NSFW connotations to it.

Hoping My Grandmother Won’t Turn Over In Her Grave

leftoverfetabasil

We all know I’m crazy and at times will make two completely different meals for my boyfriend and myself; I just love cooking that much. But sometimes—even I—cave to the heat of summer and just make a sandwich. Although you know it’s just not some deli meat thrown on white bread.

When I was younger my oma used to eat this very odd sandwich for lunch. Rye bread, butter, cucumber slices, served open-faced. However I expressed this in my 8-year-old brain, I thought the combination lacked flavor and was just, well, weird. Not that I didn’t adore butter, for even at a young age I piled on the creamy spread an inch deep. But just cucumbers—who wants a cucumber sandwich when you can eat pizza bagels?!?!

I’d forgotten about that lunch staple until I recently watched someone else, an English woman, eat butter and cucumbers together. I honestly that my oma made that up. So I investigated the origin a bit.

Top Chef Masters has ya’ll missing Padma more than you might have thought. Summer:

I’m liking Kelly Choi less and less with every episode. The way she delivers her lines is grating… she emphasizes the end of every sentence to give the impression that what she is saying is SO IMPORTANT! and yet she never seems to have a valid comment to make about the food. She has none of Padma’s elegance.

– Everyone wants in on Britannia’s English Breakfast on a Bun creation. Although Lucy makes a fair point:

It’s not an English breakfast without HP and a cup of tea! Other than that it’s perfect.

– And finally, congrats to gansie on her second-place finish in the zucchini-garama masala foodie fight. Don’t miss battle #7: Pineapple and Basil. Mmmm!

PS – bonus comments of the week points to anyone who can explain what the eff is going on in the Kelly Choi pic above.

All of England on One Bun

dsc012951

Living in the US has taught me one thing: no matter what, no matter where, there is always an ultimate this or ultimate that, the ultimate burger, the ultimate hot dog, the ultimate blah blah blah…

I was watching a show the other week on this very topic, and the host was traveling the country in search of the ultimate/largest cheese steak. This got me thinking — it’s not all about being the biggest (cough cough), it’s about being the best. In my university town of Leeds there is a small cafe called the Crusty Bin. This eatery would serve up the best breakfast sandwich that has ever passed my lips. With this in mind there was only one thing left for me to do: recreate the Crusty Bin breakfast sandwich.

When I first told gansie that I intended on writing a post about a breakfast sandwich that I used to eat during my university life she immediately responded with, “I want it to start with a crazy university days’ story.” I suppose I could tell you about the time I gathered at the Crusty Bin with friends after our university summer ball, when after a night of drinking this was the only place we wanted to be. However, there was one person missing from our group because he was caught only hours earlier doing the dirty with his girlfriend in a portable loo in the grounds of one of England’s finest country estates… I can’t go any further as it wouldn’t be SFW. Or I could tell you the story of how I woke up the day after my 21st birthday, which also happened to be the day I handed in my final year dissertation — with a mohawk and an incredibly painful hangover which was cured by said sandwich. But I won’t.

You didn’t read this post to hear about me, you read this post due to the mouth watering picture above.

Friday Fuck Up: The Most Fucked Up Week Ever

fuckupgrilledcheese

Editors Note: First of all, I can’t even handle this week. Nine dead from the DC Metro accident, then Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett and now the King of Fucking Pop, Michael Jackson. Well, at least we can end the week on a lighter, well, okay, maybe that’s the wrong word, a sillier note.

Here’s a fuck-up via Twitter from our friend  Michael Birchenall of Foodservice Monthly. Michael recently guest starred in our After School Special Blogger Boggle.

fotorules: @EndlessSimmer … will I ever stop making a FU grilled cheese … perfect on 1 side … burnt on the other

EndlessSimmer: great grilled cheese pic – mind if we post it on friday?

fotorules: go ahead … I still ate it … I used to scrape off the burnt part … I don’t even do that any more … it’s an acquired taste

You too can become famous on ES. Just send us a fuck up. Oh, come on, we know you have one!
