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 #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 […]
Sandwich #129–“Growing Children” Tomato, Mozzarella and Scrambled Egg Breakfast Sandwich
E is raising the children in our herb garden to be bright, healthy young sprouts. The basil has grown into full, leafy stalks. Our dill is tall enough to come up to our knees. The mint is as big as a rose bush and our cilantro has flowered. I’m so proud of my little father. […]
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).
Cocktail time: Mint Watermelon Coolers
It’s the weekend, the sun is shining, and it’s only appropriate that I share my watermelon cocktail recipe.
Sandwich #127–The “Work or Play” Bun Series: Shrimp Buns
Finally, shrimp buns. Even my vegetarian guests devoured two of these.
Sandwich #126–The “Work and Play” Bun Series: Chicken Teriyaki Buns
Continuing with our bun series from this weekend, I bring you the chicken teriyaki version. These are what I call your perfect lazy summer afternoon snack.
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 #120–“Miles of Love” Chicken Parmesan Sandwich
I ran the Brooklyn Half Marathon this weekend, which was an amazing but intense experience. On Saturday, I was up by 5:30 am to get over to the starting line just a short drive away. By the time I crossed the finish line in about two hours, E was there waiting with a smile.
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 #117–“Sweet Sunday” Nutella Sandwich Cookies
Nutella should not be allowed in my house. It’s too tasty, too addictive, and too accessible. And it forces me to hide a shameful secret from E.
Sandwich #116–“Garden Fresh” Banh Mi Breakfast Sandwich
Friday morning! E and I got up early to sip coffee on our patio, and ponder what nice things we were going to do for our mommies for Mother’s Day Sunday. I sent a card. E did not. Who’s the better child? Ha! (Just kidding, he means well. Besides, I should really send flowers, too.)
