No, not that train.

The gravy train!  (which is a bit of a misnomer here as well, but just roll with it).

Actually, first I’ve got to go back to that sundae I talked about in the last post.

When I posted I had just sat down to eat my sundae, but I hadn’t really dug in yet.  Oh-My-God!  That thing was insane!  I couldn’t decide what the best part was, everything was good, but together it was fantastical!  Siggis yogurt is so thick that it’s basically firm, the key lime pie ice cream is the best thing I’ve ever made, and something about turning the blackberries into topping seemed to make them practically seedless.  I think it was the combo of just a little sour, just a little sweet that pushed it over the edge for me.  So here is your homework; you pick one but if you do all three you’ll give yourself an A++

1. Ignore the shockingly high, “what, I don’t have rent to pay?!?” price tag and buy yourself some Siggis yogurt.
2. Buy the reasonably priced (because it’s such an investment) Pie, Pie Pie: Easy Homemade Favorites, by John Phillip Carrol and make the blackberry topping that is supposed to go on the Blackberry Sour Cream Pie.
3. Get hitched so you can get an ice cream maker via registry, then make Rachael Ray’s recipe for Key Lime Pie Ice Cream.

Now that you have your homework, back to the gravy!

I told you I had a strange dinner in the works – an open-faced turkey sandwich with gravy.  Very traditional and yet very unorthodox for our house.  I topped a piece of beer bread with thick sliced turkey breast and provolone, put it into a 450* oven until the cheese was nice and melty, then topped the whole thing with fat free turkey gravy.

It was delicious but the flavor wasn’t quite what I was going for, I’m not sure what was missing.  The husband loved it though.

We also had big plates of green bean fries on the side.

Other than okra, green beans are my favorite veggie to roast.

And some Dove dark chocolate for dessert.

What is the most “traditional” meal you’ve prepared lately?

P.S. I don’t know what kept this meal from being filling but Adam and I both got more to eat later on since we were both so flipping hungry!
