The first thing that many tomato lovers make when they pluck the first ripe tomato off their kitchen garden plant or grab a field-ripened tomato at the farmers market is a classic tomato sandwich. This simple combination of white bread, mayo, thick slices of tomato, and a sprinkle of salt, is designed to highlight the flavor of a tomato at its peak.
If the tomato is perfectly ripe, the sandwich is culinary perfection, but Roker adds an additional ingredient, turning the three-ingredient sandwich into a four-ingredient one that’s not much more work to make.
That burst of umami sounds like it would elevate the simple sandwich wonderfully, but we do have a very important question: What type of mayo did Roker use? Did he use Hellmann’s or Duke's? Or Kewpie to fancy-up this quick-to-make summer culinary creation even more?

Did You grow up with Spaghetti-Os ??? Yes, many Americans do, and they're not
so bad as a child growing up, though many Italian-Americans might disdain them.
When it comes to things of my childhood, I usually Love many things now that I love in
my childhood. Things like canned Tunafish, Pop Tarts, and yes "Spaghetti-Os"
I can still remember when our Dad took us to The World's Fair "Expo 67"
in Montreal, Canada. Wow? That was the first time I had ever left the country. I still remember driving up The Northway (Highway) in Northern New York State in my dad's 1958 Cadillac Eldorado. The radio was on as always whenever we were in the car for a ride. All of a sudden the DJ was speaking French. It was a French Canadian Radio Station, broadcasting out of Montreal. That was something quite exciting to us. And if that wasn't enough, after we drove threw customs at the Canadian border and arrived into Canada, a few miles into the Canada, my dad pulled the car over for us to have something to eat.
Among other things, my Dad had a couple cans of Spaghetti-O-s, and he heated them up for us to eat. And now that I think of it, that was the very 1st time I had them (Paghetti-o's). I loved them. They were the Spaghetti-Os with little Hot Dogs in them, and to me, they were delicious.
We drank Pepsi, and had canned Peaches and Drakes Ring Dings" for dessert. "So Good"
This was my introduction to Round Maccheroni Rings, known as Anelletti (or Anelli).
It would take me some 45 years later to discover the real thing.
The peanut butter and banana sandwich (PB&B), or peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich (PB,B&B), sometimes referred to as an Elvis Sandwich, the Velvet Elvis, or simply the Elvis, is a sandwich with toasted bread, peanut butter, sliced or mashed banana, and occasionally bacon.
Honey or jelly is seen in some variations of the sandwich. The sandwich is frequently cooked in a pan or on a griddle.
The sandwich was made famous as a favorite of the American singer Elvis Presley. The recipe for the sandwich has been published in numerous cookbooks and newspaper stories.

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm/8in sandwich tins.
For the cake, place all of the cake ingredients, except the boiling water, into a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, or electric whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until smooth. (The cake mixture will now be very liquid.)
Divide the cake batter between the sandwich tins and bake in the oven for 25–35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely, still in their tins, before icing.
For the chocolate icing, heat the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over a low heat until the chocolate melts. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk the mixture until smooth, glossy and thickened. Set aside to cool for 1–2 hours, or until thick enough to spread over the cake.
To assemble the cake, run a round-bladed knife around the inside of the cake tins to loosen the cakes. Carefully remove the cakes from the tins.
Spread a little chocolate icing over the top of one of the chocolate cakes, then carefully top with the other cake.
Transfer the cake to a serving plate and ice the cake all over with the chocolate icing, using a palette knife.

COLONEL SANDERS SECRET FRIED CHICKEN
RECIPE SECRET 11 HERBS & SPICES
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 tablespoon dried basil leaves
1/3 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried mustard
4 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons ground white pepper
1 cup Buttermilk
1 Egg, beaten
1 Chicken, cut up, the breast pieces cut in half for more even frying
Canola oil
1) Mix the flour in a bowl with all the herbs and spices; set aside.
2) Mix the buttermilk and egg together in a separate bowl until combined. Soak the chicken in the buttermilk mixture at room temperature, 20-30 minutes.
3) Remove chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dip the chicken pieces in the herb-spice-flour mixture to coat all sides, shaking off excess. Allow to sit on a rack over a baking sheet, 20 minutes.
4) Meanwhile, heat about 3 inches of the oil in a large Dutch oven (or similar heavy pot with high sides) over medium-high heat to 350 degrees. (Use a deep-frying thermometer to check the temperature.) When temperature is reached, lower the heat to medium to maintain it at 350. Fry 3 or 4 pieces at a time, being careful not to crowd the pot. Fry until medium golden brown, turning once, 15-18 minutes. Transfer chicken pieces to a baking sheet covered with paper towels. Allow the oil to return to temperature before adding more chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken.

BACON & EGGS !!!
Trump has said he often skips breakfast, but if he goes for an early meal, his favorite is bacon and eggs. He told People in 2015 he prefers the "Bacon medium and the Eggs over-well."
Donald Trump on Board his plane. Favorite Eats ; McDonalds
Burger & Fries, and a Diet Coke.
Since the president doesn't drink coffee, tea, or alcohol, he dedicates plenty of his palate to the fizzy stuff. The New York Times reported that Trump downs approximately a dozen Diet Cokes each day.
PRESIDENT TRUMP
INAUGURAL LUNCHEON
The WHITE HOUSE
January 20, 2017
Trump’s three-course inaugural luncheon includes Maine lobster, Angus beef, and chocolate soufflé, along with California wines. Six months later, the president has yet to choose a new White House chef.
SHRIMP COCKTAIL
"An ALL-TIME FAVORITE"
Though he's best known for his red meat habit,
Trump reportedly enjoys Shrimp, Crab, & Lobster.
STEAK
Well Done
Anthony Senecal, Trump's longtime butler, told The New York Times that the president likes his steak so well done, "it would rock on the plate."
"SURF & TURF"
An AMERICAN CLASSIC
TRUMP BANQUET
The WHITE HOUSE
DOMINO'S PIZZA
McDONALD'S BURGERS & FRIES
After the Clemson Tigers win the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship, Trump invites the team to the White House to celebrate over Big Macs, Domino’s pizzas, and Frech Fries. “We went out and we ordered American fast food, paid for by me,” The President boasts. People take to Twitter to lambast the choice—many call it an insult to the team, and some worry the President is disrupting the athletes’ diet with junk.
Ayesha Curry, Quavo (of the rap group Migos), and former Giants’ defensive end Michael Strahan all offer to provide a more complete dinner for the football players, though the Tiger’s quarterback isn’t complaining: “It was awesome. We had McDonald’s and everything. It was good!” QB Trevor Lawrence tells a reporter. “I thought it was a joke,” another Clemson player is overheard saying on a video.
“He’s paying the check, so he had to get the cheapest food they could find,” Jimmy Kimmel speculates on his TV show.
TRUMP LUNCH
According to two former campaign aides, president's typical order is a 2,430-calorie spread that includes two Big Macs, two Filet-o-Fish sandwiches, and a large chocolate shake.A former aide told Politico that Trump would often order "two quarter-pounders and a large fries" during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump's love for McDonald's, and fast food as a whole, could be explained by what a former aide said was a near-constant fear of being poisoned. Trump has also previously said he prefers fast-food chains because of their cleanliness standards.
