look closer!

One alternative to doing slices of baguette, is to slice it long ways down the middle, spread your tomato/etc... and then cut it into pieces after that. It's a bit easier / faster to make.

Dangit Patti .... went to bed hungry because of you .... woke up hungry because of you ....... your killin me here...LOL

I gotta go print some of these off to take grocery shopping with me.
