Sandwich #142–“Back to Business” Peperonata and Goat Cheese on Baguette
Our Fourth of July—also known as my birthday—was country fabulous.
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.
Sandwich #139–“July 4th Celebration” Lobster Sliders
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 #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 #128–“Summer Breakfast” Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches
Only in the summertime can you have a ice cream waffle sandwich for breakfast. Only in the summer, only in your own kitchen (because you know your mom and dad didn’t suggest you eat Eggos this way).
Sandwich #127–The “Work or Play” Bun Series: Shrimp Buns
Finally, shrimp buns. Even my vegetarian guests devoured two of these.
Sandwich #125–The “Work and Play” Bun Series: Hanger Steak
I was determined to make three sandwiches this weekend–particularly on Saturday. E wanted to go kite surfing on Sunday, tearing me away from the kitchen and computer all day. Though the weather was perfect for the beach, I had to get my laundry done, clean the house, do a mask for my face, work out […]
Sandwich #124: “You Play, I’ll Stay” Chicken Ceasar Sandwich
Here’s another difference between E and I. He is friends with just about all of his ex-girlfriends. In fact, I have met a majority of the women he’s dated because he’s either invited them to our dinner parties or taken me to their birthday bashes and Sunday brunches. I am not friends with any of […]
Sandwich #123–“Throat Soothing” Ice Cream Sandwich with Graham Crackers
I was sick as a dog over the weekend. Sore throat, stuffy nose, body aches, the works. I spent more time in bed than on the beach last weekend. Not the strongest start to my summer.
Sandwich #122: “You Butchered It!” Duck Pastrami on Rye
I debated posting this sandwich. When E’s reaction to the sandwich was “you butchered it!” I figured it wasn’t my best work.
Sandwich #121: “Too Tiny to Cause Guilt” Ice Cream Sandwiches
A helpful tip before I explain the sandwich: one should not go to the largest grocery store in Brooklyn while hungry.
Sandwich #119:–“If It’s Bad, We’ll Order Takeout” Mexican Turkey Burgers
We were majorly hung over. Two nights ago, we went out with well-intentioned but highly demanding friends who grilled E about the whole wedding thing. “When are you going to get married? What are you waiting for? This sandwich thing is for the birds! I’ll make you three hundred sandwiches in my kitchen this weekend! […]
Sandwich #118-“Cooking Under the Influence” Tuna Tataki Sandwiches
I should never cook drunk. Cooking under the influence is unlikely to produce tasty results.
Sandwich #112–“Damn You, Johnnie” Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuits Sandwich
E has this friend, Johnnie. He invites him to a lot of our parties. But every time Johnny shows up, there’s trouble. He makes E act silly, or makes E say silly things, or make E go to sleep and say nothing at all.
Sandwich #110–“Hungry!” Turkey, Bacon and Egg Breakfast Sandwich
I’m training for the Brooklyn Half Marathon, and this morning I did one of my longer runs. Afterwards, I prepared a protein heavy large breakfast, to keep up my strength. And my sanity. When I don’t eat, I’m intolerable.
Sandwiches #100 and #101–“Wedding Bells” Peanut Butter with Apple Butter and Honey Peanut Butter with Red Currant Jam
Rating: I went to the most amazing wedding this weekend. THIS ONE!
Sandwich #97– “Oooey Gooey” Fig and Mozzarella Panini
Rating: Clearly I’m obsessed with our panini press.
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 #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. […]
