Doc, I truthfully have never tasted hoagies as good as those before.
I remember my mom getting hoagies from KMart, when I was a kid, and the hoagies in school lunches. I had no idea a hoagies could actually be as tasty as the ones you brought.
Ideas for next time, if we grill, meatball and bacon kabobs (don't laugh, had them at a truck stop and they're good), little coctail franks on a small stick (different and for the kids), Polish sausage, Italian sausage (with peppers and onions).
If we don't grill, nachos (with cheese, chill, onions, salsa, etc) roast beef sandwiches, and if we can set it up on a night the Babpist Church has a fish/chicken/ribs fry/dinner, maybe we "contract out" to them. Go across the street and bring it back.
