My nephews headed back to school this week, as many other kids have done or are prepping to in the coming weeks. For me, it brings back memories of new clothes, Trapper Keepers, and lunchboxes stuffed with mom’s homemade sandwiches.

Sandwich #209–“Dispatches from the Doghouse” Roasted Tomato, Yellow Pepper, Basil and Ricotta Cheese
Hey all, E here. I’m taking over today’s post to give my darling girlfriend a break. She deserves it. Here’s why:
Sandwich #164–“Labor Day Labor” Pesto Egg-in-a-Hole
Working on Labor Day? No way! This weekend, we made plans to get in some beach time for the last weekend of the summer.
Sandwich #84–“On the Mend” Roasted Tomato and Cheddar Grilled Cheese
Rating: The flu. It ain’t pretty. Stuffy, runny nose. Body aches. Fever. Chills. I had it all, for what felt like forever. Finally, the symptoms eased tonight.
Sandwiches #71 and #72: “Comfort Food” Pizza Melts

Sandwich #3–“Veggie Delight” Avocado, Swiss, Boston Bibb and Roasted Red Pepper
E is not partial towards green vegetables. He loathes broccoli. “The devil’s vegetable,” he told me, adding if I ever dared cook it for him he would throw it at me. He also hates spinach–him and Popeye don’t share the same culinary preferences.
