guest blog: granny's carrot and bologna sandwich
OK, you may have noticed I've been a bad, bad blogger lately. I've been cooking and photographing like a fiend, but I haven't managed to post about any of it for almost a month! I have peach and blueberry pies I want to tell you about, a delicious almond cake, grilled shrimp and zucchini with couscous, a pear and fennel salad, and a scrumptious barbecue sauce. But while I'm cooking up some entries about all that, I will tide you over with this guest blog from my father-in-law, David.
"On rainy Friday mornings, growing up, we could always count on Granny having packed our metallic Superman school lunch boxes with her carrot and bologna sandwich, with a hearty smothering of brown mustard. Granny was a diminutive woman who wore granny shoes and didn't smell. I think those are wonderful things to remember about her. I can't honestly recall if my twin brother, Alan, loved my Granny's carrot and bologna sandwich as much as I did. If he didn't he must have been a jerk. I'll have to ask him. I do know he didn't smell either.
OK...here goes:
Granny's Carrot and Bologna Sandwich
Ingredients:
3 slices of beef bologna, (spring for a couple of bucks and purchase a good brand)
2 slices of white Wonder Bread
carrots, whole or baby
brown mustard
Instructions:
Place three slices of bologna, one at a time, on one slice of
white bread. (Bologna should cover slice but should not sit on top
of each other. Warning: for the novice, this may take some
practice... be patient.)
Slice carrots and place on bologna. (Not a bad idea to have some
bandages available nearby.)
Spread brown mustard on second slice of bread, to taste.
Place second slice of bread over carrots and bologna to complete
sandwich.
Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!
