Domesticated

Since I haven't been working I have had to find some other creative/time filling outlets. I have gone a little nuts with making stuff. Here are a few of the things I have been working on.

How to make a Marv' n Joe or How to Feel Five Years Younger

When I was in college at Utah State at least once a week I would stop by the Hub after class, grab a nice hot Marv n' Joe and a chocolate milk for lunch. I totally forgot about that until the other day I was about to have lunch and nothing sounded good. I was craving something cheesy and tomatoey and toasty and garlicky. Then I traced back five years and thought, "You know what would be perfect? A Marv n' Joe from Hazels. Yeah, that would hit the spot."

So today I finally got around to making one. The trick is you have to have home-made wheat bread, so that is why it took me a week to get around to satisfying this craving. I had to get around to making home-made wheat bread. After that it was easy. I spread on some garlic butter, topped it with some slices of tomatoes, provolone, and sprinkled on some Parmesan cheese. After that I just toasted it in the oven until the cheese was golden brown and then Yum! I was back in the hub with my Marv n' Joe and glass of chocolate milk.
