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.

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.

Look what we got!
It’s ON now! Paninis for days. That is, after my back heals. Might have thrown in out lifting this 50 pound machine up onto the counter.

What is the plural of hummus?
I am planning to make multiple types of hummus this week. What’s the correct grammar to describe this? Hummai? Like radius=radii? Or syllabus=syllabi? Hummuses? Like bus=buses? E and I have been debating this since last night. Suggestions welcome.

Survival Food: Chicken Salad Sandwich with Batatas Fritas
E and I have been obsessively watching Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, CNN, NY Times and whatever other outlets we can get to on our computers tracking Hurricane Sandy’s aftermath.

Notes from abroad, part two
As predicted, Hurricane Sandy has wrecked havoc on the East Coast, forcing people to either evacuate their homes or stay indoors with flashlights and bottled water, and shutting down mass transportation and airports. Our flight home was canceled until, um, well TAM Airlines just told us the flight was canceled and “they have no clue […]

Crêpe: Sandwich or Not a Sandwich?
Me: Does a crêpe count as a sandwich? E: No. Me: Why? It’s basically a wrap, and a wrap is a sandwich. E: No! It’s a pancake folded over. It doesn’t count. Surely a crêpe could be loosely interpreted as a sandwich. Maybe? From Wikipedia: A crêpe or crepe ( /ˈkreɪp/;[1] French: [kʁɛp] ) is […]

Introduction
“Make me a sandwich.” That’s what my boyfriend, E, asks without fail every morning. Not “babe, where are my keys?” Not, “honey, where are my socks?” And no, not even, “c’mon, just the tip?” Sandwiches. Doesn’t matter what kind. Two pieces of bread, some meat and cheese and he’s in heaven. E is a lovely cook. […]
