You know something serious has happened when E has a frown on his face. The poor thing got audited by the IRS, thanks to his former accountant. The penalties are enough to make anyone’s wallet cry.

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. The weather was spectacular, the snow was amazing and our skills had all improved so much since the beginning of the season—by Sunday, most of us were shredding in the […]

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.”

Sandwich #94–“Grab and Go Breakfast” Apple and Cinnamon Muffins with Banana
Rating: Last spring, E and I used to have coffee every morning together outside on our patio. It was our quality time to talk about our day, plan upcoming trips and share news about our friends before we got ready for work and headed out to the train together.

Sandwich #93–“Schoolyard Antics” Lamb Sandwich with Roasted Tomatoes and Onions

Sandwich #92–“Staying Skinny” Egg and Asparagus Sandwich
Rating: E and I–well, rather, E–are still trying to shed the winter weight before we go to Miami in a week. E is being more diligent about eating right than I am. Every time I suggested a sandwich to E, he screams like a girl on a diet in the high school cafeteria as to […]

Sandwich #90–“Beach Body” Scrambled Egg White Sandwich with Peppers
E and I are planning a trip to Miami in a few weeks, partly for work, partly for play. This will involve time on the beach in very little clothing, which will expose parts of our body that may not be in the tightest form.

Sandwich #89–“Lazy Doughnut” Peanut Butter, Apricot and Chocolate Hot Press
I’m not the only doing all of the cooking around here. E made a delectable yet relatively healthy dinner for us last night–roasted leg of lamb, roasted vegetables provençal and lentils. But I took over dessert, and made the most ridiculously sweet and gooey sandwich possible.

Sandwich #88–“For You, Dear (Not Me)” Smoked Salmon Crepe
Rating: Compromise and sacrifice. These are the hallmarks of many successful relationships. When you’re in a relationship with someone, you can’t always have things your way. You can’t pick the movie all the time, or the restaurant, or what color sheets you and your mate will sleep on. Breakfast is no different.

Sandwich #87–“Feed the Body” Chicken Cacciatore Sub
I hadn’t made a Crock-Pot meal all week, and I didn’t want our favorite appliance to feel abandoned. While E cranked out code, I threw together chicken cacciatore.

Sandwich #86–“Rainy Day” Bacon, Swiss and Carmelized Onion Grilled Cheese
E sure is dedicated to his craft. The first thing he does after putting on that godforsaken white (actually beige, after a year of wear) robe of mine/his is fire up his Apple MacBook Air and start coding. Seven days a week, he puts in a good 10 hours of work, often well past midnight. […]

Sandwich #85–“Guy Night Out” Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Rating: E deserved a break from taking care of me all week. Poor thing hadn’t seen his friends, hadn’t gone out to dinner or drinks since I came down with the flu. Since I was back to work, E wanted to reclaim his social life. “I’m having Scotch tonight!” he declared.

Sandwich #84–“On the Mend” Roasted Tomato and Cheddar Grilled Cheese
Rating: The flu. It ain’t pretty. Stuffy, runny nose. Body aches. Fever. Chills. I had it all, for what felt like forever. Finally, the symptoms eased tonight.

Sandwich #83– “Office Hours” Bacon, Swiss and Fig Melt
Rating: After a busy Fashion Week of shows, parties, cocktails and a vicious injury to my thumb after I slammed it in a car door (that’s what I get for taking an Orange Hummer to Lincoln Center), I had to sleep.

Sandwich #82–“Valentine’s Day” Strawberry and Caramelized Banana Crepes
Rating: I made a date to spend Valentine’s Day morning with my darling valentine, E. We sat down to a romantic breakfast before I covered the last day of Fashion Week.

Sandwich #81–“Too Cold to Cook” Turkey and Speck Sandwich with Provolone
Rating: It’s Fashion Week. I barely have time to brush my teeth, much less make E a sandwich. E has had to do all of the grocery shopping since Thursday because I’m running from show to show and the after parties. I don’t abandon him completely–I make sure to bring E to the parties.

Sandwich #80 1/4–“Half Asleep” Fried Egg and Avocado
E’s assessment of this morning’s sandwich: “Boring. Unimaginative. Lazy. It’s like you sat on the couch and ate Cheetos instead of making me a nice breakfast. I have nothing nice to say.”

Sandwich #80–“Kickoff!!!!” Pulled Chicken Sliders
Rating: Dunzo! Pulled chicken. Fall-apart-on-the-fork chicken. In the Crock-Pot. Finished with a bit of molasses to give it a sweet kick. Kammy and crew will be well-fed through the fourth quarter. I hope they’ve got plenty of rum and bourbon to make Mardi Gras appropriate drinks to accompany my perfectly cooked meat.

Sandwich #79–“Super Morning” Steak and Eggs Breakfast Sandwich
Rating: What the heck is more perfect on Super Bowl morning than a steak and eggs breakfast sandwich? A manly sandwich, made for linebackers and defensive ends and free safetys and…. um… lanky, surfer boyfriends like E!
