I might not be able to. But I'll bet you can. Even in the dark.

If I know I'm going to be in hospital I bring my own salt & pepper. Sodium
does not affect my blood pressure - contrary to conventional medical thought.
But try orfering a tasty meal when the kitchen has been instructed that you
are on cardiac, diabetic and renal diets. Talk about severely limited lists
pf choices.

Memorial lets one order as much or as little as wished. Thursday evening
I opeted for a nice chicken salad in wheat bread and a bowl of Jewish
Penecillin.

Just came home from a couple of days in hospital after doing a face plant
on the way to the loo or relieve my bladder. My brother saud I looked as
if I had gone 10 reounds with George Foreman in boxer mode not grill mode.
They tested me for stroke, cardiac, etc. and finally settled on having
too much CO2 in my blood gasses. Now I have to get used to sleeping with
a Bi-Pap machine.

Title: Dave's Pork-U-Swine Sandwich - Mark II
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Cheese, Breads
Yield: 2 Servings
Fry the bacon first and reserve. Use the bacon fat
to fry the patties if using a stove-top grill pan.
Cook the patties using a George Foreman contact grill
or a stove-top grill pan.
Toast the buns on your wide-slot toaster (or a toaster
oven). Build the sandwich with a lettuce leaf and a
slice of onion on the bottom of the bun. Top that with
a sausage patty, then a slice of cheese (I used Havarti
which worked nicely), a pork patty, a tomato slice, any
condiments you would like, three slices of bacon and
the second half of the bun on top.
Serve with a side of fries or Tater Tots.
Makes 2 servings
