    Last week at work two different people walked by me at lunch and said “your sandwiches always look amazing” and I literally can’t shut up about that now.

        On Sara Lee Artisano bread, in this order: Yellow mustard Two slices of oven roasted turkey breast One slice of cheese (baby Swiss or Gouda) Another slice of turkey Another slice of cheese Green or red leaf lettuce A thick slice of beefsteak tomato Onion Mayo

        I pack the lettuce tomato and onion in a separate zip top bag and add them to the sandwich right before eating it. Makes all the difference.

        I randomly made this the first time I actually took my lunch to work and at the first bite was like “FUCK that’s a good sandwich” and I’ve taken the exact same thing every day for weeks now.

          I’m reminded of a scene near the end of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, where the protagonist becomes like this venerated sandwich artisan on a tiny out-of-the-way planet.

          Agreed that most sandwiches are better fresh. Any kind of dampness or shudder sogginess, totally knocks off 10 points.

          My sandwiches are made with this fried tofu mix of my own design lol, so might not appeal to others but I still appreciate the art generally.

          While we’re sharing, my secret technique is toasting the inside of the sandwich breads, so you get soft bite going in then a little crunch on the inside.

          It’s the cheese, man.

          Incredible how much switching from kraft American ups your sandwich game.

          I’m partial to havarti myself.
