glazed salmon and fried egg sandwiches...OF BLISS

when i first saw these on tastespotting a few months back, i IMMEDIATELY printed the recipe out and emailed my food-obsessed friends. luckily, their cuss words of joy affirmed my thoughts. 



these things taste like crunchy pancakes. i'm super serial you guys. they taste like crunchy, maple-topped pancakes that explode in your mouf.

jen was nice enough to be my food tester, AND PHOTOGRAPHER! go check out her portfolio. it's pretty prodigious.
