Sandwich #187–“Fall Harvest Beach Break” Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Corn Burgers with Tomato Jam
Rating: Last weekend was sunny and windy, so E hightailed it out of the house to go kitesurfing. He deserved it, the poor thing had been working 12 hours days. He needed a break.
Sandwich #186–“Truffle Shuffle” Moliterno Cheese with Truffles and Fig Jam
Rating: E asked me out for a wine date last night (how sweet!), since we hadn’t seen each other outside of the apartment all week. When we got home, he turned to the refrigerator. “Guess what I got?” he said.
Sandwich #183–“Sunset Barbecue Part One” Pork Loin Sandwich with Blackberry BBQ Sauce
Last weekend was 75 degrees and sunny, and we may not see warm temps like that until next year. It was a great excuse to grill meat by the river.
Sandwich #182–“Light A Fire Under Your…” Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
Sunday afternoon. Me. Football. TV. Heaven. Sunday afternoon. E. Computer. Office. Heaven.
Sandwich #181–“Don’t Get the Plain White Bagel” Turkey, Swiss and Granny Smith Apple
Not all of the sandwiches I make are winners.
Sandwich #180–“Wanderlust” Ham and Pineapple on Pretzel Roll
The weather is so delightful in New York City–it’s been a sky blue 70 degrees and sunny all week. But the sunshine got E and I thinking about our next vacation.
Sandwich #179–“Not Your Mother’s Roast Beef” Spicy French Dip
On Sunday nights of my childhood, my mother often made pot roasts.
Sandwich #160 and #161–“Hurry Up” Elvis Sandwich, Two Ways
Whenever my guy friends ask about the blog, they get so judgmental. “How many sandwiches are you on?” they ask. I’ll explain. “You better hurry up! You’ll never get engaged at that pace!”
Sandwich #159–“Substitute for Tomatoes” Turkey Pear Club Sandwich
I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a club sandwich that E would like.
Sandwich #156–“Time Management” Egg White Scramble with Tomatoes and Green Onions
TO DO LIST FOR THE WEEKEND
Sandwich #155–“Three P’s” Prosciutto, Parmesan and Pesto Croissant sandwich
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.
Sandwich #150–“Halfway There” Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich
I’m halfway there! In the immortal words of Drake, I say, “we started from the bottom now we’re here.”
Sandwich #148–“Recess Friday” Bagel with Ricotta, Banana and Apple Butter
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.
Sandwich #146–“Break for You” Ice Cream Sandwich
Ice cream sandwiches—using pre-made cookies and simple vanilla ice cream—were the fastest, easiest snack I could think of for E.
Sandwich #143–“You LIKE Kale!” Tarragon Chicken Salad Sandwich
I scored a major victory at home today. I got E to eat kale!
Sandwich #142–“Back to Business” Peperonata and Goat Cheese on Baguette
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.
