I made Mike's bread recipe for the third time tonight, and it remains pretty damn good. It has 3 ounces of cheap beer for the fermenty malty flavor, and a tablespoon of vinegar for the sourness. It uses a tiny tiny amount of yeast and an insanely hot oven, and sits bubbling dangerously on the counter for 18+ hours for those of us who like to feel like Laurel. It's awesome. The link is somewhere in the comments- although I've committed it to memory because the Cook's Illustrated website has locked me out.
An old coworker and I were talking about foods you learned to love in college- (Shout out to Amy and the tomato sammich) She told me about a snack she loved when she studied in Germany- the chocolate sandwich.
All it requires is good dark chocolate bars, good warm sourdough bread, and good butter. By some amazing coincidence, we had all three in the house last night. I encourage people to make their own chocolate sandwich, even if you have to heat the bread in a toaster oven first. Chill the chocolate too. It's an excellent breakfast if you want to have a sugar crash at around 10:30. This is a great plan- when everyone else gets to work, you're reading garish comics about D&D.
