imposter sandwich

this post is about shortcomings. we all know that no one is perfect, so when i decided to recreate curly's santa barbarella sandwich, i knew not to expect the real thing. the approximation, however, was ridiculously good.

it consisted of inglehoffer sweet hot mustard, mesclun mix, monterey jack cheese, morningstar fake bacon, broccoli rabe sprouts, red onion, and tomato all on seeded wheat bread.



i may not have pumpkinseed pesto or whatever other things they use to make their sandwich so delicious, and i may not be able to figure out how to rotate this picture, but this sandwich was pretty good.

Sandwiches are beautiful

It's no scanwich, but I thought my ham & brie sammy from medina deserved some cross-sectional love.

And by the way, new york, it's a downright gorgeous day, so go eat a sandwich in the park!

The Monday Surprise

Good lord guys. I just ate something that I might have enjoyed as much as mwr did his little bugs of mouth joy. j improvised this totally kick-ass sandwich, to be now and forever known as The Monday Surprise.


Okay so I fried the eggs sunny-side up, which I've never actually done before but somehow didn't screw up entirely. We put them on lightly toasted semolina bread with pepper jack cheese, arugula, and Ukrainian ham. The spicy zest of the cheese atop the smoky-sweet flavor of the ham complemented the arugula's bitterness perfectly. And then, hey whats up gelatinous egg explosion! Where have you been all my life?
