Roast Beef Po'Boy Sandwiches

I had some leftover standing rib roast after Christmas, so I thought to myself: Po'Boy! Now, obviously, I can't get the same bread as they use in NOLA, so I had to improvise. I got a huge Ciabatta roll from Boudins in the Village at Corte Madera. I made one huge sandwich and cut into manageable sections.

Ingredients:
Ciabatta or other sandwich roll
Mayonaise
Roast Beef with leftover au jus or gravy
Shredded lettuce
Sliced Roma tomatoes
Thinly sliced Kosher dill pickles

Directions:
Cut the roll in half, lengthwise. Smear a ton of mayo on both sides...probably a cup altogether, but whatever you desire. On the bottom slice of bread layer the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles & roast beef. Ladle copious amounts of gravy on top, top it off with the other slice of bread. Cut in half; serve with Crystal Hot Sauce and tons and tons and tons of napkins!!!

4th Annual Tamale Day!

I grew up in So. California where Mexican food was very dominant. I noticed that all my friends moms were making *tamales at Christmas time. I could only hope to score one or a dozen! Four years ago I got tired of dreaming about these homemade delectable treats and decided to do something about it. I found a recipe online with detailed instructions and got busy. Its like a 3 day ordeal! Its very labor intensive, but oh so worth it! I have 6 dozen tamales in my freezer for those cold winter nights when all I want to do is bust out a few and pop them in the microwave!
