My Epic came over the other day (she had the sleeve surgery as well in January -- on Grumpers birthday to be exact) and started regaling me with tales of delicious french dip meals without the bread. I love french dips so I asked her for the recipe. She looked at me like I was insane (it's a look I get from her and other's a lot come to think of it -- I'm not sure why) and then said all she does is makes a packet of au jus gravy (did anyone else know about this magical packet? I'd never heard of it before but sure enough it's there in the packet aisle of your local supermarket) and pours it over deli counter roast beef and then eats it. Genius. It doesn't get much more moist, meaty, or easier to swallow and digest than a good slice of lunch meat in gravy.
I decided to implement her genius idea. Since I'm further along in the process and don't have anymore dietary restrictions -- other than if it hurts don't eat it, dummy -- I made a sandwich. Can I just say how much I love sandwich thins and the fact I can eat them pain free? Cuz I do. I love them. This was heaven on a plate. It went down so smooth with dipping in the au jus, I didn't miss my drink. How awesome is that? I could only eat about 3/4 of it, it's really filling, but it was worth every scrumptious bite.
