Sometimes it only takes a Sandwich






In general i'm not the biggest bread lover, but that said a good sandwich can really be a enjoyable easy meal. One of the problems i have with sandwiches is that i eat so little bread that buying a loaf really doesn't make a lot of sense for me. I know a lot of people freeze their bread, but i can always tell if bread has been frozen, it just doesn't taste right. I usually buy the Future Bakery's half marble rye loaf as its a smaller amount, and for some reason it never seems to go stale or moldy.

The toasted tomato is a family classic - and in the summer a nice ripe tomato with just real mayo and pepper - DAMN! I will still make these in the winter occasionally - i usually let the tomato ripen in the front window - just like the avocados i feel like this is more natural somehow.

I also just sandwiches to use up leftovers. When i make frittata i usually heat up one of the leftover slices and throw it between a couple pieces of bread - good stuff! Fish sandwiches are also good, but i don't usually have much leftover when i make fish - though i guess you could adapt the talapia double meal for this.

When eric cooked the carponara for me, i made the caprese salad - there were a few slices left over, and i the next day they were the perfect fodder for a sandwich - and luckily i still had some leftover Ace Bakery baguette - a very base. The balsamic and oil had really permiated the tomato and buffalo motzerella. I also think basil is nice in a sandwich.
