Fall arrived this weekend. E and I wanted to commemorate the event, along with his cousin’s birthday, with a dinner party at our place. Since E and I moved to Brooklyn to partake in some hard core nesting, we’d rather entertain at our place and be asleep by midnight than battle traffic to head back […]

Sandwich #20–“Working Weekend” Chicken Gyro with Homemade Tzatziki
Some techie thingamajig that E is in charge of building is about to launch within weeks. Thus, E has to spend hours programming and uploading and downloading and looking at the computer screen to make code for this thing. Deadlines were looming, so we had to come back early from the beach and work Sunday […]

Sandwich #19–“Working Late” Prime Rib Steak Sandwich with Caramelized Onions
E and I were putting in later hours at work. He was getting ready to launch a new product, and I had a number of after work events. Thursday night was the first opportunity I had all week to make dinner. I wanted to prepare something filling that would be great with red wine, because I […]

Sandwich #15–“Friday Night” Fried Green Tomato Sandwich with Mozzarella and Basil
This Friday had two completely different itineraries for E and I. He left work in time to relax on the couch before Brian Williams introed “NBC Nightly News.” I remained in the office until after sundown, waiting anxiously for my boss to blow the whistle at the rock quarry, so to speak, so I could […]

Sandwich #10– “Dry the Day After” Italian Sloppy Joe
E and I had a major weekend. There was Champagne. And Rose. And sake. And more wine. And a hangover (mine, not his). But there was also a new addition to the family. On Saturday, E and I got a car together, a beautiful crossover SUV big enough for our snowboarding gear, groceries, friends, power […]

Sandwich #9–“Home Early” Lamb Burger with Feta
I was in the mood for lamb burgers (and as you read in the previous post, you know a burger does qualify as a sandwich). We’ve been growing a ton of parsley and mint in our herb garden, and I wanted an excuse to use some of it. The lamb burgers recipe I use calls […]

Sandwich #8–“Post-Beach” Lobster Roll with Homemade Sweet Potato Chips
I had to go to the Hamptons this weekend for work without E. But I made sure that I was back Sunday afternoon in time to make him a thoughtful sandwich. I asked E what sort of sandwich he wanted today, another 95 degrees, humid as a steam room day. “Lobster roll,” he mused. “Ambitious,” […]

Sandwich #5–“Hot as Hell” Salmon Sandwich with Avocado Mash
Saturday night. 8 PM. It was an ass-frying 95 degrees today. Asphalt melting, dog sweating, kids swarming the ice cream truck kinda hot. And of course, E was in the mood for a sandwich for dinner. I needed something that would be refreshing and not require a lot of time around the stove. Tonight was […]

Sandwich #4–“Frustrated” Open Faced Swordfish Sandwich with Arugula and Jalapeno Citrus Dressing
This sandwich was so frustrating to make. Not because of its ingredients, but because E micro managed the entire process. I came up with the idea to have salmon cake sandwiches, but Mr. Wannabe Eric Freaking Ripert decides that salmon sandwiches wouldn’t be enough. We had to have swordfish.
