I'm waiting for a nice sammich to finish heating up on my panini press/griddle (definitely in the top ten list of favorite presents). Today's deliciousness is a smoked turkey and cheddar on whole wheat, with a nice bonus of thin gala apple slices that I browned on the press before putting them in the sammich.
I know this isn't profound, but I never cease to be amazed at how pressing almost any sammich turns it into something sublime. Discuss.
Update: Went with triangles (2), but I'm agnostic about that sort of thing. And I always eat my crusts.

Tasty.
It was tasty, and pretty healthy, too! Pressing the apple slices until they just begin to brown is key. The hot apples are not only deliciously caramelized, they also help the cheese to melt more quickly, too.
Mmm. Now I want another one.
Mmm. Now I want another one.
So soon?
Yes and no. Funny thing about good things...sometimes you want more right away, and it turns out you really do want more of a quantity of that thing. Other times, though, you want more just because something or someone is so good that you can't get enough of them conceptually.
In this particular case, the latter definition applies. I want more, but I can wait.
MrCA,
I should have said something earlier. I thought I was being nice by letting it go. But allowing someone to aimlessly blog about with his punctuational fly down, so to speak, is never kind.
It's about your ellipses -- a space before and after is required. (Yeah, I realize that this site irritatingly tries to force one to format otherwise. Doesn't make it right.)
So, in this thread it's: Mmm ... Pressed Sammich! and Funny thing about good things ... sometimes you want ... (My own ellipsis added there at the end to indicate omission; note space.)
One example that seems like an exception to this rule, but is not, is when an ellipsis follows a complete sentence. End the sentence with a period as usual, then a space, then the ellipsis. Example: She put her pen down and faltered.... To the mailbox or to the dustbin?
For further questions, consult Grammar Girl -- she rocks.
Lorelei,
I love to learn, and one of the better ways to do it is to receive constructive criticism when one has made a mistake. I've also added Grammar Girl to my Blog Roll; she definitely rocks!
I vote mailbox, by the way. Assuming that your words are the result of thoughtful introspection, it's better to share them and risk any negative consequences than to leave thoughts and feelings unvoiced.
Thanks for your comment and correction.
