Ham and cheese is a good sandwich. Ham with spreadable fromage blanc, honey and caramelized pecans is a great sandwich. That is, if you know how to make carmelized pecans successfully.

Sandwich #114–“Cinco de Mayo-ish” Mexican Torta
Rating: It was Cinco de Mayo over the weekend. For us, it’s an legitimate excuse to drink margaritas—unlike the less logical ones, like “oh we’re out of wine, so we have to drink something else, preferably with tequila.”

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.

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.

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.”

Rating: E and I just got back from Miami, a super amazing trip full of dancing, eating, pool parties, beach time and Champagne.

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 #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.
