So here is today's menu (albeit probably not the healthiest one ever) idea for my fright night, Tuesday, when Kit has to be at volleyball by 6pm. Since I haven't been planning ahead lately I have been dreading Tuesday suppers.
For a great pannini I recommend the whole wheat pannini bread from Costco. Comes in a mother big pack but freezes beautifully and even my white bread or die husband will eat it. So take a slice of the pannini bread (defrosts in the microwave in like 22 seconds), spread thin layer of pesto over half. Then pile in this order (order is of UTMOST importance in a sandwhich, wrong order and you might as well feed it to the bitch) 1 slice provolone cheese (also available from Costco pre-sliced), 2 slices calabrese salami, 1.5 slices prosciutto (also available at Costco), 2-3 slices tomatoes (I used yellow ones, it was pretty), a few Kalamata olives (cannot stress how nice these are compared to black canned olives), a nice layer of baby spinach (Costco). Then spread a thin layer of mayo on the remaining side (you could even leave this out cause it was plenty tasty without it), fold over and place on medium low heat on the BBQ for 5-7 minutes until lightly toasted and cheese is ooey-gooey. Literally a 15 minute meal, served up with some fresh mini cucumbers (aka Maysonese "cumbers"), and snap peas (both also available at Costco) for those nights when you need a saviour idea. Mmmmm, now I'm craving another one. Better go to bed quick.

Costco 'ho.
That requires me to start the BBQ and well, me and my BBQ have issues. Burnt eyebrow related. I'm scared of me BBQ.
We do this one:
Panini bread from the Italian Centre
Thin Sliced Mozzarella (good ole Italian Centre)
4 super thin pieces of procuitto
Enough fresh basil leaves to cover the bread
Roma tomatoes
One more layer of Cheese
Then I use a garlic olive oil on the outside of the bread before I put it in the panini press.
Yum
