Rosie Makes A Proper Ham And Cheese.

Rosie has a hankering for a ham and cheese sandwich.
And this ain't it.
This was the $9.00 ham sandwich I had with caramelized onions and balsamic vinegar, spinach/pecan pesto, and the saltiest ham I've ever tasted, on grilled white bread. On a bare plate. Mr. Hawthorne and I both felt sorry for it. I felt sorry for me since I had to eat it. Poor little sandwich looked so lonely on that big white plate. Pitiful. We had this at the Brine and Bottle a few weeks ago. If you recall, when I was writing my review, I went to the Brine and Bottle's website and found MY picture on their blog within the website. Here's the picture from my post from the Outer Banks' Taste Of The Beach's Grand Tasting which I found on Brine & Bottle's site. I wrote about it here. I left a comment on Brine and Bottle's post on July 9, and sent an email July 10 to RightLeftStudio, who designed B & B's site, asking both if they were aware that my picture had been purloined. No response. Yesterday morning, July 19, I left a phone message with RightLeftStudio. That afternoon, I received an email from Brooke at RightLeft Studio, explaining that although she designed the website she does not maintain the blog and didn't know anything about this. She has contacted her client and the photograph has been removed. I thanked Brooke and told her B & B could certainly use my photo, just ask first, please, and acknowledge Rosie and KitchensAreMonkeyBusiness. Simple netiquette, folks. And here's where it gets fun for me. This is from the comment section on B & B's post:

ETA: For those of you unfamiliar with blog comments, Rosie did NOT comment, "This post has been removed by a blog administrator." The folks at Brine & Bottle deleted my comment and the blog administrator comment is what automatically goes to replace my actual comment. My actual deleted comment was this: Rosie Hawthorne said... Are you in the habit of stealing photographs off other people's blogs to put in your own blog? © 2010 The Brine and Bottle. All rights reserved. And now you copyright a photograph that isn't even yours. The 2nd place booth photo is from my blog and was posted on March 21. You posted on March 22. See here: http://www.kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com/2011/03/grand-tasting-of-outer-banks-taste-of.html Next time, I'd appreciate it if you'd ask. Rosie's been swiffered! WHOOT! Now, back to my ham and cheese.
This is it.
I wanted rye bread, but didn't have any, so I had the next best thing - grilled whole wheat with caraway seeds pressed in. And before I go any further, I must give credit for this wonderful idea to Mr. Hawthorne, my favorite Credit Whore.
Here's the Hawthornes' new favorite ham - Kentucky Legend Double Smoked Ham.
Give the ham a little saute.
Spread fresh basil pesto over the grilled faux rye.
I topped one sandwich for Daughter Hawthorne with Pepper Jack cheese and topped mine with Swiss cheese.
A quick trip under the broiler ...
... and give it a pickle and some chips.
A proper ham and cheese must have a pickle and chips.

Go Rosie, go! What did you say that got you "hoovered" from their comments sections? Also, meant to say that I think Dogwood has guts to be in house full of canines. She is a crack up. Your ham sandwich has me looking for that brand on the left coast. Cheers, Barbara

Heh. I keep copies of everything.

Rosie Hawthorne said...

Actually Dogmama, there was no reason for them to keep my comment there since they deleted the photo.

But there is a way to delete my whole comment entry so that you don't see my picture or that my comment was swiffered.

And Dogwood is male. I still slip up and call him a her.

I still find it rude that they did not apologize and are inciting (me) by leaving your avatar. Not professional and not the way to do business but you're not going back anyway so I guess it's a moot point.

Poor Dogwood, I always thought he was a "she". Still love his attitude with the canines though. He literally looks like he saunters past them. I love the pic of him sniffing the slice of pizza to see if it's worth his while, heh.

At least they removed your picture, but an apology would have been better.

Kentucky Legend is a good ham. I always get the pre-sliced smaller hunks since we can't eat that much. Their sliced turkey breasts aren't too bad, either.
