Highlights: Sandwiches

Published on September 9, 2012 By Emily. Updated on September 9, 2012

My sandwich consumption has really decreased in the past 5 years or so.  One of the reasons I first started making hot lunches to bring to work was because I was tired of eating sandwiches every day (the other reason, of course, being my desire to eat less meat).  Growing up my mom would always put a sandwich in my school lunch; sometimes the sandwich was ham and cheese, sometimes it was turkey with mayonnaise and curry powder (a personal favorite–I’m sure the other kids thought I was weird).  In college, when I didn’t like anything else in the dining hall, I’d order a salami and provolone sandwich on a roll.  I don’t know why, but it was always good.  Even though I don’t eat sandwiches as much as I used to, I’m still a fan of a good one. The internet is certainly not short on inspiration.

Serious Eats has been seriously sandwich focused lately.  They put together guides to American sandwiches and international sandwiches, both of which are filled with sandwiches I never knew existed.  Maybe I need to get out more.

On a local note, a Williamstown deli was just written up for their collection of sandwiches named for celebrities. Apparently “every [celebrity] on the menu has actually been here and eaten that particular meal”, which I think is really interesting.  Now I just need to find an excuse to go there again.

I’ve had grilled cheese sandwiches on the brain since getting my George Foreman Grill back at the beginning of August.  It’s not that I can’t make grilled cheese on the stove top, but having the grill sitting on my dining room table in constant view makes me want to use it all the time.  Huffington Post isn’t helping with their list of recipes from the 2012 Grate Canadian Grilled Cheese Cook-Off.

When I make burgers, they’re generally patties shaped from beans.  This recipe from Grab A Plate uses eggplant slices as the burger and tops the sandwiches with spicy garlic spread.  Sounds good to me! (via Meatless Monday)

The Pioneer Woman’s recipe for Hot and Spicy Italian Drip Beef for sandwiches almost makes me want to buy a couple roasts.  Almost.  For now, I’ll just daydream.

Apparently it’s football season again.  At the very least it’s college football season, I’m actually not sure about the NFL.  And that is why you won’t see any football highlights on Relishments; I have no idea what is going on.  You will, however, see a post from Food Republic about sandwiches named for football players, because I don’t need to know who people are to know if the sandwiches sound tasty.

We never made egg salad in my house growing up and every once in a while I wonder if I’d actually like it.  I know Brian likes it so I should probably try making egg salad some time.  Maybe this collection of 10 egg salad sandwich recipes from The Kitchn would be a good starting place?

Lauren made some really beautiful Lamb Souvlaki Pitas recently that don’t look too difficult.  Definitely a more unique sandwich than I usually make!

Lastly, there are dessert sandwiches.  Food & Wine completed a taste test in search of the best ice cream sandwiches.  Endless Simmer has a recipe for a Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich…on a Stick that looks a little complicated, but quite possibly worth it (especially if you made the ice cream as well!)

    As soon as I saw the photo of the reuben panini photo, I figured it was ‘George’ at work. Looks good!!!
    The Hot and Spicy Italian Drip Beef for sandwiches sounds yummy too.

We picked about 9 pounds of strawberries and I'm looking forward to eating them! 🍓

I don't have clear words to express my feelings ab I don't have clear words to express my feelings about the state of the world lately. As a teacher and a mother, it has been extra difficult this week to be fully present in my roles without thinking about innocent lives that should have had longer on Earth. How what has happened in each of the many mass shootings this year can happen anywhere. If you are feeling sad and frustrated too, you are not alone.

I don't have answers, but I'm trying to take care of myself and my biological and school families. I'm saying "I love you" a lot to my children and my students. I'm closely following and sharing the work of @everytown while contacting my state and federal representatives and the president. I'm going for walks and getting fresh air and trying not to overload on news. I'm sharing good resources in my stories as I see them.

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuse This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuseum is a great visit for all ages. The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.
