Seriously guys. This is all you need to know about my birthday. (Well, almost...)
My compliments to the woman's blog from whenst this picture came. Thank you Ferguson family (no idea who you are... but there were other yummy treats featured, so take a look).
This is the deal though, folks. Monte Cristo (bit-of-heaven-in-10-lbs) sandwiches are hard to come by. Everyone I rave about them to is like "Monte Cristo... like the Count of?" And I have to be like "No, the sandwich!" They never know.
Who here has ever experienced the goodness of this sandwich?? Please let me know. I've had it at Disneyland (though for a pretty penny) and now Melt, here in Cleveland.
Tell me people: Where else can I get a Monte Cristo???
For those of you who don't know, a Monte Cristo is a ham, turkey and swiss sandwich on thick white bread, deep fried, sprinkled with powdered sugar and berry sauce on the side for dipping. A-MAZING.
Obviously there were other magical parts about the grand "golden birthday" (27 on the 27th), like Jared waking up early to draw me up a hot bath, rubbing my feet, making me waffles, buying me a plant, okaying the purchase of my new favorite hair toy--the Chi, and taking me to see Valkyrie. Great day. THE END.

Hmm...I've heard about the Chi. You like it, eh? What is so great about it? And the Monte Cristo would fit right in down here in Memphis, you can find everything deep fried.
Hooray for birhdays....sorry I forgot. I'm bad at that. But I hope you find some Monte Cristos somewhere. I've never heard of them, but if i ever see one on the menu, I"ll definitely try it!
PS. Did I ever tell you that I once made my very own monte cristo sandwhiches? I even bought the really nice meat and cheese. I thought they were Muy Delicioso. All thought not as much as the professional kind. Anyway, I just remembered that, so I thought I'd share. Luvs!
Hi. Miranda it's Adrienne. I need your new email address to give you access to my blog and I also need your mailing address to send you a wedding announcement! Email me at mouse3337@aol.com
Thanks!
For a while here in Colorado there was a restaurant chain called Bennigan's that made them exactly the way you describe. So tasty.....

Oooh - I love the Monte Cristo sandwiches at Disneyland too. I've made some at home, but without the deep fryer, they're not the same. I hope you can find some where you're living, 'cause they are yuuuuuuuummy!
