Today I'm feeling, and hopefully justifiably, proud of my hair. Sure, its got its issues, but still, it's softy and silky and typically I consider it one of my crowning glories. (Until, of course, those days I want to rip it all out and punish whoever made it the horrible, troublesome pain that it is.)

For our office White Elephant gift exchange back at Christmas, my friend Lisa got this Cuisinart Sandwich Maker.
And it's been sitting under her desk for five months now. So today, I convinced her to go to Whole Foods with me so that we could pick up some food and make some sandwiches.

My mother is a reader of Woman's Day Magazine (whose recipes I usually love) and she passed on these 2 ingredient recipe cards to me. Sure, some of them are a little odd and I will probably never, ever attempt, but there were a few that immediately grabbed my attention and I can't wait to try out! (Pineapple with coconut sorbet...:DROOL:)
If you want the actually cards to print out and some additional ideas: http://www.womansday.com/food/6577/2-ingredient-recipe-cards.html, http://www.womansday.com/food/6373/none.html

Most respectable sauces made at home and some of the better bottled sauces achieve a balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty. Don't forget to add what really sets a great sauce apart...which is whatever your favorite flavor is!!
Here is a breakdown:
SWEET:
granulated sugar
light or dark brown sugar
cinnamon
honey
molasses
maple syrup
hoisin sauce
coke or pepsi
corn syrup (eww, I don't like that one though)
SOUR:
distilled vinegar
cider vinegar
red or white wine vinegar
balsamic vinegar
rice wine vinegar
lemon or lime juice
mustard (this is actually very tasty and a great tenderizer)
the juice from a pickle or relish jar
capers
SPICY:
hot sauces
fresh or dried chiles
black pepper
cayenne pepper
crushed red pepper flakes
horseradish
SALTY:
kosher or sea salt
soy sauce (careful with this one)
fish sauce
Worcestershire sauce
olives
anchovies
