Sloppy Joes, Slop-Sloppy Joes


"Well, me and sloppy joe got married.We got six kids and we're doin' just fine...Down in Lunch Lady Land." ~Adam Sandler


You might question the famous lunch lady's logic in marrying "sloppy joe." I, dear readers, do not. Not after the Sloppy Joe recipe I made last night. They were so good... all spicy and sweet and with little tiny pieces of green pepper, onion and celery... and on these sun-dried tomato buns that Scott picked out. It was very late and I was starving, so this may have had something to do with my reaction to the sandwich which was to finish the last bite and yell "Yum!!!!" so loud it scared the dogs. (Scott is used to me being weird.) I think they could have been a little saucier, and my grandma puts cheese on them, which I think would be great too, but all in all, killer comfort food.


The salad dressing was another story altogether. "French" dressing from a bottle is alot tastier than "real" French dressing, which is just oil, vinegar, paprika and ground mustard. I might just be bitter because it leaked all over my lunch bag today and my banana smelled like vinegar. Maybe. But yeah, it's barely even orange, which makes you wonder exactly how they get those dressings to look like they do...


Two things are for sure though: One, Sloppy Joe and I, while not married, are seriously infatuated with each other. Two, I'm done with store-bought dressings... but buying more cayenne.
