Nothing says love like a....

My mom has recently become fluent in the love language of sandwich.  We have been buying those Bratwurst rolls from Target and she can toast that baby and turn out some delicious sandwiches.  I went over to my parents home this afternoon for a swim with Tan and a visit.

I was going to stay for dinner, but was feeling tired.  Mom offered to make me a sandwich and take me home.   I came home and crawled into bed with my laptop and ate my sandwich.  It was delicious.  I felt so loved and happy.  If you are looking for a way to make your loved ones feel good, then consider making them a sandwich. 

A really good sandwich is a work of art and is not that hard.  Start with the basics.  Get some good quality deli meat that is free of nitrates.  Have the deli slice you up some nice Swiss cheese.  I think that romaine hearts are yummy and last a long time in the fridge but you can decide on that.  If you are fortunate enough to have your own garden, or patio garden, then use one of those tomatoes on it, sliced up fresh.  When it comes to ingredients you can get creative but I say start with a butter pan toasted bun.  Your loved ones with cheer, I promise.

Thanks Mummy...it was yummy to my tummy!

Who knew it was that easy?? To think I've wasted all that time, effort, and money on more elaborate tokens!!! And all this time it was as easy as a bun toasted with butter with a slice of ham tossed in. Eureka! I may have solved the greatest mystery in the world!!!!!

I can identify with that totally...Susan, you are blessed to have your Mom close by to make such wonderful sandwiches for you, and Becky, you are also blessed to be there to do such special things for your daughter...it is a gift that is to be treasured, of which I am certain you are both aware. Thanks for sharing that with us! Who knew? God knew. Hugs to both of you.
