Quesadilla: Sandwich or not a Sandwich?
Me: Does a quesadilla count as a sandwich? E: I want to say yes because I love quesadillas. Me: There’s a piece of tortilla folded over with filling, or two pieces of tortilla with filling. I think it’s closer to a sandwich than the crepe.

Sandwich #104—“The Gang’s All Here” S’Mores
The regular season at Stowe, VT ended this weekend, so E and I and four friends caravaned up north to take one last snowboarding trip.

Sandwich #103–“Tantrum-Filled” Sloppy Joe
Sometimes—such as yesterday— E thinks I make him look childish. After my recap of E refusing to eat store bought smoked salmon, in favor of the fresh, pastrami–flavored fish from Russ & Daughters, E told me. “You portray me as a tantrum-having child sometimes.”

Required Reading
Talk about perfect timing. Not only is the latest issue topical, but our Internet is on the fritz. So I have to consult old school media—like magazines—to get ideas for sandwiches. Now excuse me while I lasso a Time Warner Cable rep to my apartment to get me back online.

Suggestion Box
I’m going to make E’s 100th sandwich this weekend. I asked him what he wanted, figuring he’d come up with something over the top gourmet, with a side of duck fat fried potatoes sprinkled with truffles, just for giggles. His, not mine.
