It’s the Simple Things

Is the sandwich underrated? Maybe you hold it in high regard, but over here, it doesn’t get too much attention.  That is a shame because two slices of bread can deliver a world of wonder to your lips. When you’re home and want to create an easy lunch, the sandwich is your answer. You can give it a fancy touch or keep it plain and simple. Eat it warm or keep it cold.

Eating Up This Acronym

How many ways can you make your BLT?  There are a ton of variations, and we’ve seen them all.  Add avocado, insert a fried egg, lay on a slab of grilled salmon, sprinkle on sprouts.  If you’re a freak about bread, maybe you only have yours on white (not toasted) or wheat (burnt to a crisp).  How about those folks who like to add on the fixings?  Extra mayo, a dollop of mustard, squeeze in some ketchup, load on the black pepper.  It’s exhausting how such a simple sammie can get so complicated, but when it’s just right, it’s right.  Here’s another creation we had in mind when we made a loaf of bread last week.  It’s our simple, yet complex version of a classic.
