Monday I'm not doing any really serious cooking probably just some beef sandwiches for tonight something easy

[Kchurchill5]

Sounds good to me. I'm off to work the party; so, my dinner is waiting at pick up ... a sucker for sushi.
Enjoy your sammies, sounds good.

Just some homemade tomato soup and Italian grilled ham and cheese sammies.

[Kchurchill5]

People are chowing down ... I can't do much of anything right now other than watch!!!
My friend who is a caterer, her son ... also works in catering is handling everything. We are just sitting back relaxing.

Lovin, I am all for soup/salad or soup/sammie. Classic paring tonight.
My other fave ... creamy potato - not chunky or creamy and roast beef panini w/blue cheese

My 2 all time classic parings.

I really enjoy salmon patties; when salmon goes on sale - I stock up. Did you serve a sauce with it?
