Tartine-esque panini

2 slices Take and bake Pugliese bread (Trader Joes)
1/4 ounce roquefort cheese
dijon mustard
1 slice Jarlsberg Swiss lite
2 slices rosemary ham (Trader Joes) or 1 ounce thinly sliced ham

Spray 2 sides of bread generously with Olive oil using a misto.  Spread half of the blue cheese on the insides of the bread, then dijon mustard, add ham and swiss cheese alternating.  My method to grill is to place on med-high heat in cast iron for about 5 minutes.  Turn sandwich and press for another 5 minutes, watch to make sure the press stays flat on. 

Perky Iced Americano!

So refreshing!!!

Brew one strong small cup of espresso.  Add a small sprinkle of Turbinado sugar and a teaspoon of Kahlua.  Stir with spoon and stick in freezer to cool down for 10-15 minutes.  Pour over a glass of ice and add water as desired.

A bottle of Petit Syrah and you are set!  I only added 2 eggs cause that's all I had!  You really could put whatever filling you'd like in this crust.
