How to grill a bacon, cheese, tomato panini

A grilled panini sandwich being sliced in half

I’m really not sure how long I have been sitting here, staring at my own blog post. And I know even less about how long I stared at the pictures before saving and uploading them. And months ago when I found these originally? Even if I knew how long I watched them, mesmerized and drooling, I would never admit it.

I mean, really…. how good does that look? Fresh mozzarella, delicious avocado and tomato slices, a creamy sauce that appears to be maybe mayonnaise and spices, and crispy bacon all layered onto freshly buttered bread before being pressed lightly and grilled to perfection in a panini press, and then sliced into perfect sandwich slices.

*drools*

Yeah, I would eat the heck out of that. And I’d have another on the grill while I did because there’s no way I would stop at one. Mmmm.

What does your salad dressing say about you?

Italian dressing (unidentified bits in the bottom) – You’re not much of an adventurer and it’s likely that Leonardo is your favorite ninja turtle.
French dressing – You’ve got quirk by the barrel full, but you write too much fan fiction.
Ceaser with bacon bits dressing – You’re a revel in the sense that you like to undermine things, such as the intention of a salad
Catalina dressing – You’re like the French dressing person but a little thinner.
Ranch dressing (colorful speckles, likely flecks from a precious stone) – You are a fun and pragmatic individual. There is no doubt that you’re using your ranch as both a dressing and dip.
Ranch with pepperbacon dressing – We should be friends.
Three cheese ranch dressing – You really don’t f*ck around, but won’t you let someone tame that wild heart of yours?
Thousand Island dressing – Stay away from my kids!
Blue cheese (with fine print that I can’t read) – Someone’s got carrot sticks in their crisper and a penchant for mischief.
Something vinegar or wine and olive oil – I bet you think you’re so healthy and ethically responsible, don’t you! Well that’s probably true. Good work!

So uh, I have a thing for sauces, in case you hadn’t noticed. If I’m at a restaurant and they offer me a sauce, I’m going to accept it. It doesn’t even matter if I’ve had another version that I didn’t like….I’m going to want to try this new one. I especially like new combinations I’ve never had. The most recent was a chunky bacon ranch.

Now I’m not the type who puts sauce all over everything, though. I just like dipping things like fries in them, to try them out, and then move on. I don’t know why or when the obsession with trying new ones started, but it is what it is and I like it.

Unfortunately, that means I like all of the dressings listed above (and may even mix a couple of them to create something entirely new….and it won’t be only for my salad either), which makes me appear even crazier than usual. Oops.

Pocket Like It’s Hot – Snoop Dogg sings about hot pockets

Well, if you can call it singing anyway.

And uh, is anyone else a little weirded out by this? I didn’t realize he was even still producing “music,” but hey, he’s gotta make some money somewhere, huh? I think I’m more disturbed by the fact that it isn’t just a little snippet for a commercial… it’s a full-on music video with lyrics all about Hot Pockets. Wow.

Here are the lyrics to read along if you dare click the video play button:

I’m a hot dude, with some hot dreams
Getting fired up, letting off steam
Everybody showing love — Herbie’s in da tub
Checkin’ applications for the Hot Pockets fan club
Pepperoni pizza, much better than some fish eggs
The interior too hot let it cool off for a few secs
I’m running for the taste, that can be my phys ed
Chompin Hot Pockets, that’s how you get ahizzead
Winners get the meaty meats,
Winners get da cheesy eats
The tag-team meal that’s too hot for TV
Get off my pockets, you gotta backup
Yup that’s whatssup, now sign the prenups
Me and Hot Pockets never gonna splitup
You should think about it…..take a second.
–
I bring the heat, but y’all knew that
Da Big Sauce Boss, yeah, I had to do that
I keep it fired up, even when I’m inside
You take what’s mine, then ya gonna have to run ‘n hide
He light ‘em up so much that everybody talks
They all wanna turn in his Hot Pockets Box
Two, one, yep, three these Pockets are H O double T
Smokey temps hitting that three thirty three
If you can’t stand it this hot
Then you can’t chill with me
So bring your friends, we going on a wild ride
Herb Sauce tender meats heat yo insides
So don’t change the dizzle, turn it up a lizzle
Got some cheesy drizzle dripping on my shizzle
Waiting on the brizzle’s, the pizzle, the dizzle Gs, when da cheese hits your tongue it’ll scream “Fo Sizzle”
