But, here I am drooling over your Pillowy-soft white bread sandwich. I've never tried canned fishes before. Maybe next time I'll look for some sardines to try.Kribhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11978204535724288270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-55857607012823239952008-01-22T07:54:00.000-04:002008-01-22T07:54:00.000-04:00I would *like* to like sardines .. but YUCK!Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12378973060080539056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-87789687631559563162008-01-17T01:22:00.000-04:002008-01-17T01:22:00.000-04:00Cynthia - I had a sardine sandwich for lunch today, thanks to you.

In olive oil or tomato sauce. I use it as a base for a spaghetti sauce. <BR/>Just add more diced tomato, a dash of coriander powder, chilli powder, chopped parsley (mixed Italian herbs, if you prefer) and milk (optional) and a bit of water to thin it down.<BR/>A fantastic 2008 to you, Cynthia!Argus Louhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01775884960931383435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-82679308596528393992008-01-10T10:08:00.000-04:002008-01-10T10:08:00.000-04:00congrats cynthia,<BR/>your new look is very appealing!i just enjoy being here!wish you a wonderful year ahead and hope to enjoy more of your recipes! i too have tried my hand at a food blog ! check out dear! i am a novice so don't expect :)Nanditha Prabhuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04589675344474098832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-6483591664209888342008-01-10T10:02:00.000-04:002008-01-10T10:02:00.000-04:00I love sardines!
