Rating: Our herbs had grown to an obscene height–they’re almost larger than the bamboo tree we have back there near the door. The only way to tame the forest growing on our balcony is to prune—and make pesto.

Sandwich #154–“Weeklong Effort” Beef Brisket Sandwich
Last week, I have not been giving one particular being in this household enough attention. No, not E, but the the beef brisket I bought on Monday that has sat in the fridge.
Sandwich #153–“Flick of the Wrist” Crepe Fruit Roll Ups
Yawn. Brush teeth. Make coffee. Check e-mail. Think about breakfast. Check fridge. Crepes. Crepes could work.
Sandwich #152–“Back to Reality” Chicken, Tofu and Veggie Wraps
Vacation over. Back to reality.
Oregon, Peach Cobbler, and E
This is not a sandwich. But it’s something just as special.
Sandwich #151–“Roughing It” Rotisserie Chicken and Greens
During the Oregon Trail portion of our trip, activities will include summer snowboarding (!) at Mt. Hood, kitesurfing in the Columbia River Gorge and more wine tasting.

E and I are back on track. So, I’m back in the kitchen.

Fridays are a day of recess. They’re for planning the weekend, lingering over breakfast and arriving at work with a smile knowing you don’t have to come back the next day.
Sandwich #147–“Towel Stealer” Sriracha Egg Salad Sandwich
E has a criminal past. He’s a towel stealer.

Our Fourth of July—also known as my birthday—was country fabulous.
Sandwich #141—“CrossFit Unfriendly” Sugar and Spice Ice Cream Sandwich
Ice cream sandwiches are not a Breakfast of Champions. They’re filled with sugar and offer little caffeine or protein or other nutrients (maybe dairy. But that’s really all). They’re so not the ideal breakfast for a boyfriend who just came back from CrossFit.
Sandwich #140–“You Make the Birthday Plans” Turkey Burgers with Bacon
My friends want me to have a birthday party for myself, but then I end up having to make the plans. I don’t want to do any work to enjoy my birthday. Instead, I’ll make E do it.

July 4th is a special day at our house. Not only is it America’s birthday, it’s mine, too.
Sandwich #138– “I Forgot About It” Lamb Meatball Sandwiches
Rating: I found a recipe for lamb meatballs that was so easy to make, I had dinner ready in 20 minutes, which put me on the couch in time to watch “House Hunters” on HGTV. We had leftovers, so I made E another sandwich for lunch.
Sandwich #137–“Lunch, From Me to You” Mozzarella and Olive Tapenade on Pita
I did something that I’ve never done for E. I sent him off to work with homemade lunch.
Sandwich #136–“Thanks for Thinking of Me” Italian Burger with Pesto
“There’s wind tomorrow,” E declared. “We’re going to the beach.”
Sandwich #135–“Quickie Before Dinner” Mini Pretzel Ice Cream Sandwich
There’s nothing better than a nap in the middle of the day on the weekend. On a crisp, warm Saturday in New York, E and were holed up inside, dozing off on the couch. And not even together, cuddled up at the same time. We took naps in shifts.
Sandwiches #132, 133 and 134: “Still Sexy” Fruit and Peanut Butter Wraps
The Sexy Project is working! Yesterday, E and I went to an event in Central Park, for which I wore a form fitting black dress with very low cut cleavage and sky high suede Miu Miu pumps. I was working a sexy 1920’s flapper look with my hair in an updo, and the dress’ below […]
Sandwich #131–“The Sexy Back Project” Sweet and Sour Sloppy Joes
Maybe I’ve been spending too much time in the kitchen. Maybe I’ve spent too much time taking care of others and not myself. But despite dating a tall attractive man who loves me, I didn’t feel…sexy.
Sandwich #130–“Weekend Productivity” Mozzarella and Homemade Pesto BLT
You can get more done with your day when you get up early. Because I was up and at ’em at 8am Saturday morning, I had coffee on the balcony with E, drove to Fairway AND nabbed the closest parking spot possible to the front door, bought enough groceries for the week, unloaded them at […]
