One thing nice about the panini maker is the lid depth is adjustable so different thicknesses work. It's also got some heft to it so you can get some squish. 

Yep it does all that. Probably not much difference in the two.

Cod was flaky and moist but kinda bland.

Sounds like dinner at the old folks home my dad spent his last in.  I could not eat it.

Who wants pasketti? We did. So I did it the easy way. 

Meatballs of ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and a little water. Formed smallish balls and browned in the browning slow cooker. Got rid of the extra fat and added a jar of Prego. Cooked on low for a few hours. 

Roasted some garlic. If you’ve never done this you should give it a try. Take a full head, slice off the top, stick it in a piece of foil, drizzle with olive oil and grind on some pepper. Close it and roast at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Comes out creamy, sweet and brown. Not sharp at all. 

Squeezed that out on take and bake ciabatta rolls with some olive oil.  

Plated it all up and dressed everything with some freshly-grated Parmesan cheese, parsley and some good extra virgin olive oil. 

Served with an Italian red from Tuscany.

Dang good meal from the pantry and fridge and freezer. Well, I stopped for the wine.

I love a big bowl of plain old pasketti.  Sometimes straight out of the jar, sometimes with lots of added seasoning, and always lots of garlic.  Right now such a dish would n make me cry, allergies and meds have stolen my sense of taste again.  But in my mind I can smell and taste it Ness.  mmmmmmm

Love roasted garlic! Has that sweet almost nutty flavor. Can't beat spreading it on good bread 😁!
