MM is doing a special this month (or maybe last), offering the “el cubano” sandwich from the deli. Their take on a cuban sandwich conjured up the idea for our “el cubano”: sliced pork loin, melted swiss cheese, barbecue sauce on a toasted panini roll. Rather than use a foil-covered brick to smash the sandwich down, I just smashed it with my hands. A little more fun. The work the husband puts into brining the pork for hours makes all the difference. Half of my sandwich sits in the fridge waiting for tomorrow. Unless the husband gets to it first. Grrr…

On the side, some onion rings (baked), with a tasty tartar sauce.
