You know that quote about train wrecks?
The one about how they're so terrible but you just can't look away? That is exactly like the whole first season of Married at First Sight. I just watched every single episode. You watched it too right? Do you feel as bad as I did/do for Vaughn and Doug? Vaughn was attacked like the whole experience (although some of his comments were in really poor taste) and Doug? Poor Doug. First no sex. Then Jamie's got babies on the brain like a mofo. But we've all been there, done that, right?
No? Just me again? Huh. Anyway...
You want to know what's not a train wreck? This sandwich. It's fantastic. The only thing terrible about it is how at the end of the day you have absolutely no good light to take delicious looking pictures.

Oh, the best part of that show? Watching it with Ryan. His peanut gallery commentary? Hilarious. His perfectly timed snorts and chuckles? Made me laugh even harder.
Although for some of them, I think he's recalling some strange memories of other baby-obsessed people...
Not like his wife though. Because, me? I'd never be that crazy.
At least not run to the pharmacy and pick up his and hers fertility tests. Although it doesn't hurt to know, right? Just to make sure everything's working?
Just kidding! I feel like that just crosses a line. A very fine line between concerned and crazy. This recipe? Goes leaps and bounds over the delicious line. I want to make it every night.
And the soup? It works double duty as an au jus and onion soup. Loaded up with onions it's pretty much like perfection in a bowl.
Now I'm pretty sure these are going to have to be on the menu for this week. Like 100% sure. Unlike how some of these marriages start off in this ridiculous show.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the meat and cheese and onion-y goodness, right there? We don't have to talk about my insane photo editing skills right now. It can wait.
Like forever.

Doesn't that just make you want to drool? Go on. I won't judge.
