Famous Primanti Brothers and Famous Cindi?

Hello all!!!  It's a lovely partly cloudy day here in Seattle, so what's a girl to do during her lunch hour?  Try to stay indoors...but at an Anthro store.  I decided to stop by to try on some new fall stuff for my Friday Preview.  As I was standing in line to pay for my purchase (item to be revealed Friday), someone behind me asked me if I was Cindi.  I said yes, and thought in my head that this person did not look familiar to me at all.  Then she introduced herself as LC from Bella Seattle!!!  We work only a couple of blocks from one another and I know there's been times where we barely missed one another.  I'm so glad she introduced herself to me since I'll never be able to recognize her!  As I drove back to work, I thought, "This must be how famous people feel!" and I kinda like it.  This is the first time a reader's recognized me...little ole me!  It was a fun experience.  LC...if you ever wanna go shopping during lunch or actually eat lunch...let me know! :)

For those of you that live in or near Pittsburgh, you must know the Primanti Bros. Restaurant.  They are most famous for their sandwich stacked high with coppacola ham, fried egg, slaw, provoline, tomato, and fries.  Obviously, we don't live anywhere near Pittsburgh, so we decided to recreate this sandwich!

Here's the sandwich from Primanti's:

Chris first fried the egg to perfection while I cut the tomato and fresh french baked bread:

Then we put the coppacola ham in a pan and fried it by itself.  The recipe calls for butter...but we decided to stay a little "healthier".  After the ham browned a little, we laid the cheese on top:

*Note: We bought the best Provolone we can find in the store.  We went to a local market that's like a Whole Foods and asked the deli to slice up their 8 year aged provolone.  The flavor is so intense! 

Next came the layering...bread, tomatoes, slaw (purchased already made at the market), egg, meat, cheese,...and here's our compiled sammie:

We decided to skip the fries since the sandwich was getting extra thick.  And boy...the first bite into it was a piece of heaven.  A success!  I can just imagine how the real sandwich would taste, but until I go to Pittsburgh and taste it for myself, right now our own version will do.  And it's good enough for me!

So what am I wearing after last night's gigantic meal?  My vagabond dress of course!  LC actually said if it wasn't for this dress, which she remembered my blog entry about it, she would have been scared to introduce herself to me. 

These are the Stuart Weiszman's I wore under my dress on my wedding day.  I'm so glad they work for everyday life as well. 

Thanks for stopping by, everyone!
