The Jefferson’s Airplane is the best breakfast sandwich at the Boulder Coffee on Alexander St. It consists of eggs and ham, with banana peppers, American cheese, and a spicy cajun mayo. Nomnomnom.

Monday Snack: World Series Cupcakes
Every Thursday at work is Snack Day. We each take turns bringing in a tasty treat. Since there are about 15 of us, more than three months pass in between snack days. It’s easy to forget.
At least it’s easy for me to forget.
I walked in to the printer room — which on Thursday is known as the Snack Room — last week thinking yummy thoughts and wondering, “mmmm, what will we be having today.” With no snack in sight, I thought “Rats! What idiot forgot their snack day?”
This idiot, that’s who.
So I had to make amends today with some World Series cupcakes. Plus there are Mets and Dodgers fans in the office, and why miss an opportunity to mess with them? It’s like having your cupcake and eating it to.
The cupcakes are Martha Stewart’s Yellow Butter Cupcakes (pretty easy for a Martha recipe) and frosting from a can.

Saturday Snack — Bison on a Stick
Tried this for a quick lunch today. It comes from Cooking Light and is South Beach Diet friendly. Grilled meat on a stick is always a good thing.

Saturday Snack — Broken Glass Jello
I was looking for a sugar-free dessert to make for a baby shower, where the mom-to-be needs to watch her sugar intake. I thought about jello, since sugar-free jello is such a staple for South Beach Diet-ers. Plus jello has a kind of fun, 1950s vibe to it.
So I found this recipe for Broken Glass Jello at the ‘Ono Kine Grindz website, and swapped in sugar-free jello. It’s time-consuming but easy and very pretty.
Broken Glass Jello
4 3-ounce boxes of sugar-free JELL-O
1 12-ounce can of evaporated milk (NOT condensed milk if you want to keep it sugar-free)
4 envelopes unflavored gelatin (like Knox brand)
Mix each of the packets of jello with one cup of boiling water and pour each into four separate 8 X 8 cake pans. Chill until set, at least four hours.
Cut each of the jello pans into cubes and mix in a 9 X 13 dish and set aside in the fridge.
Mix the four envelopes of unflavored gelatin with one cup of boiling water. Dissolve completely. Strain and combine with evaporated milk. Allow to cool completely, then pour over the cubed jello in the 9 X 13 dish.
Chill until set, at least four hours. Serve by cutting into pretty slices.
