585558 Tue Jan 06 09:11:35 -0800 2009 82 31 Home Cooking 0 4300543 I'm trying to come up with some ideas for lunch, so I would like to know what sorts of unusual but tasty sandwiches you have made in the past. A couple of restrictions apply: I can't eat pork/ham, and I'd like to be healthy. Thanks! Tue Jan 06 09:11:35 -0800 2009 23170 reenum 1 4300596 It wasn't that healthy when it was made for me, but it could be if you had the ingredients: Cream cheese and jelly sandwiches on toast. My mom made it for me as a child..they're still pretty good every now and then. Tue Jan 06 09:21:56 -0800 2009 4300543 220914 krisrishere 1 4300607 I just made this the other day: a basic smoked salmon with cream cheese, red onion, and tomato - but - I subbed a nice crusty ciabatta bread for the usual bagel, and added a fried egg. Oh, and some chives in the cream cheese. Damn, that was good. Tue Jan 06 09:28:12 -0800 2009 4300543 98500 Bat Guano 1 4300654 I haven't done this in 20 years, but I used to love scrambled eggs sandwiches on toast with mayo and letttuce. Tue Jan 06 09:40:32 -0800 2009 4300543 45208 somervilleoldtimer 1 4300667 Toast up some nice rye bread. Smear some avocado on it, add thinly sliced roasted zucchini and eggplant coins. Panfry up a small piece of chicken breast, tossed in cayenne, oregano, and black pepper. When it's done, slice it thinly, and add it on top of your veggies. Top with another slice of toasted rye with avocado. So... good. And kosher. Pig not a problem! Tue Jan 06 09:44:57 -0800 2009 4300543 123702 sailrox 1 4301417 Toast a real bagel. (real bagels are not sold in your grocer's refrigerated section) Use a bagel flavor that makes sense to you for a savory sandwich - maybe onion, garlic, jalapeno cheddar , sesame - you get the drift. After it's toasted, spread it with cream cheese, some real sliced turkey (no deli style meat jello pressed turkey product,) fresh ground pepper, a slice or two of tomato (if they are any good where you are at now in winter.) Cover with the other bagel side. Toasting isn't really needed if the bagel is fresh, but they only stay really fresh for a day no matter how well you wrap them up. Oh they stay fresh, but not REALLY fresh. Anyway - lowish fat, you get your starch, protein, and a really nice tang from the cream cheese and turkey together. Tue Jan 06 13:06:01 -0800 2009 4300543 111530 gordeaux 2 4301828 gordeaux, i ate that *exact* bagel sandwich at least 3 times a week in my teens! always had to be a sesame bagel for me. reenum, you'll find tons of ideas here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/451468 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/446102 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/462612 Tue Jan 06 14:53:34 -0800 2009 4301417 103920 goodhealthgourmet 3 4301889 Lol, I ate four of them in the last week and a half - well, 6 really. If you count the two that subbed sliced venison summer sausage for the turkey. Sesame is usually my choice as well, but I had access to some really good Jalapeno Cheddar ones last week. I seriously love these. Tue Jan 06 15:10:24 -0800 2009 4301828 111530 gordeaux 1 4301931 I just had a simple and wonderful one for lunch: I had the last fillet of a package of individually-wrapped frozen salmon that I had thawed, and I noticed that it was exactly sandwich-sized. So I patted it dry, salted and peppered it, and let it sit for a while in a mixture of olive oil and hot chile oil while the small grill pan got good and hot. Then I grilled it, and toasted two slices of sourdough bread. Coated one slice with Trader Joe's tartar sauce, the other with TJ's wasabi mayonnaise (both thinly), and put the grilled salmon between them. Had that with just a Belgian endive chopped up with oil and vinegar and a little pepper. Of all the sandwiches I've loved, I can honesty say that this is not only the most healthy one, but possibly - I'll have to think about this - possibly the ONLY really healthy one. Well, there was a Florentine omelet panino I got in a Roman snack shop, basically just egg and spinach. The shop had hot ones only during the lunch hour, and sold the leftover ones out of the cold case, but even cold this was pretty damn good. Tue Jan 06 15:24:22 -0800 2009 4300543 11478 Will Owen 1 4313465 Right now I can't stop eating this: egg whites and good old processed cheese, wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla. But usually, when I'm looking for new sandwich ideas, I throw in substitutions for the lettuce/tomato/mayo-mustard combo. This could be broccoli rabe, spinach, pickled cucumber slices, sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, vinaigrettes, ... Will Owen's post actually reminded me of a sandwich I loved in Spain -- a thick wedge of tortilla inside a crusty loaf of bread (sometimes with a slice of tomato, if you want). Good hot, warm, or cold, but definitely not healthy enough for everyday consumption (in its most traditional form, it's fried sliced potatoes mixed into a flat/deep-dish omelet). Still, it's incredibly versatile -- you can always add other ingredients to the mix and try subbing in egg whites. Sat Jan 10 07:26:41 -0800 2009 4300543 14388 theannerska 1 4313544 Good quality feta cheese, oil packed tuna, ripe tomato, a touch of calabrese antipasto (spicey mixed vegetables) on a portuguese or ciabata bun. The combination is fireworks in your mouth. Sat Jan 10 08:14:21 -0800 2009 4300543 14403 Pizza Lover 1 4313609 Multi grain bread, toasted. A very thin layer of lite real mayo. Add sliced avacadoes, beefsteak tomatoes (salt & pepper) and tender bean sprouts. Wraps with grilled chicken and baby mesulin greens and thinly sliced pear. I also make homemade soup and freeze it into individual containers for easy lunches to heat up in the microwave at work. Sat Jan 10 08:44:47 -0800 2009 4300543 15691 mcel215 1 4313618 Peanut butter with pickles. I still love that sandwich and had it for lunch just yesterday. Slice stuffed green olives, chop walnuts, then mix into cream cheese. Fabulous sandwich spread. Sat Jan 10 08:47:56 -0800 2009 4300543 127625 fern 2 4313930 Aaahh!!!! Another lover of the pb with pickles! I use to be addicted to those! Now more into banana with pb and j...on 12 grain bread from Whole Foods (preferably that bread but not necessarily). Seriously though, pb and pickles! wow! People use to think I was crazy. I preferred bread and butter chip ones though...never tried with a dill pickle or half-sour... Sat Jan 10 10:53:04 -0800 2009 4313618 131224 lovessushi 3 4314427 You know, all pickles taste good on this sandwich but I do love bread and butters so that's what I had yesterday. Try the others sometime just to see what you think! Sat Jan 10 14:04:08 -0800 2009 4313930 127625 fern 4 4748707 Whole grain, but soft, bread, peanut butter, claussen kosher dills and miracle whip! So funny, when I saw the subject, that was what I immediately thought of. Way 70's of you guys, man. Sat Jun 06 14:44:38 -0700 2009 4314427 282119 MartiniGenie 2 4778982 When I was a kid I would eat peanut butter and potato chip sandwiches. Another was Van Camp's Pork n Beans with mayonnaise. Man kids have cast iron stomachs. ;-) Tue Jun 16 14:35:42 -0700 2009 4313618 126101 Antilope 1 4313623 Banana and anchovy on rye is a favourite in our house, as is toasted smoked salmon and marmalade. Sat Jan 10 08:50:50 -0800 2009 4300543 156990 Robin Joy 1 4313648 Rye bread spread with cream cheese, roast beef or pastrami, roasted red pepper, spinach and sprouts if you have them Sat Jan 10 09:00:53 -0800 2009 4300543 158403 jcattles 1 4313961 Peanut butter and hot pepper jelly on rye. Grilled peppadew peppers and sharp cheddar cheese on cracked wheat bread. (Also good on rye.) Canned tuna in oil mixed with Indian pepper pickle on whole wheat (or eaten with a fork, no bread.) Sat Jan 10 11:03:29 -0800 2009 4300543 204226 Ideefixed 1 4314017 I've probably said this a million times on CH, but my fave is still hummus, pickled beets and arugula on toasted multigrain bread. Although I've had luck with the slightly less odd combo of crunchy peanut butter (I use the natural kind, don't like it sweet), grated carrots and raisins, again on toasted multigrain. Sometimes I add really crisp sprouts, too. My fave leftovers sandwich is made with crusty bread and last night's stuffed eggplant (whatever your recipe is), moistened with ketchup or tomato sauce. Sat Jan 10 11:23:23 -0800 2009 4300543 10681 piccola 1 4314032 Not sure how original or healthy these are, but i love: ciabatta spread with olive tapenade and topped with grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, thinly sliced red onion, basil and spinach leaves. ciabatta steak sandwiches using nicely seasoned slices of leftover steak, sliced tomatoes and mesclun greens dressed in a tangy vinagrette. ciabatta (again! i love chewy bread) spread with pesto, topped with a beaten and cooked egg, tomato and swiss cheese focaccia with artichoke hearts, tomatoes and gruyere cheese (grilled panini style) Sat Jan 10 11:30:01 -0800 2009 4300543 56183 soypower 1 4314083 I usually make this sandwich with ham, but it's good with turkey too. Good quality soft yeast bun - make them if you can Fried green tomatoes coated with breadcrumb and parmesan swiss cheese lettuce mayonnaise OK not healthy but darn good! Sat Jan 10 11:45:44 -0800 2009 4300543 80667 janetms383 1 4314084 avocado and crab meat with mayo, sprinkled with some seaweed in your favorite type of bread. This is basically a california roll in a sandwich form ;D Sat Jan 10 11:46:13 -0800 2009 4300543 54254 kobetobiko 2 4335919 I like sardines and avocado with a little mayo on sliced multigrain sourdough . Sardines are the Scandinavian secret for staying young-looking, and avocados are good for the complexion, so I like to think of this sandwich as a rejuvenation treatment. Sun Jan 18 00:55:04 -0800 2009 4314084 13619 Sharuf 1 4314089 Actually just had a conversation about this last night--this is the sandwich I eat, well, way more frequently than I'd like to admit: Toasted 9 or 12 grain bread (then put into the toaster oven with some good cheddar on it to melt it), mayo, romaine, thin sliced tomato, thin sliced red pepper, granny smith apple, pickled green tomato, deli turkey, and sometimes bacon if I'm being forgiving on myself. Yum!! Sat Jan 10 11:47:10 -0800 2009 4300543 196581 stay_classy 1 4314090 When I lived in residence and ate out of the university cafeteria, fresh sandwiches were the best food going, so we got creative. One of my more unusual favourites was roasted red pepper hummus, thinly sliced red onions, and cucumber on dark rye. Sat Jan 10 11:47:20 -0800 2009 4300543 251649 Allison_ 1 4314467 Toasted pumpernickel bagel with thin schmear of chive cream cheese, chopped liver or good liverwurst like Schaller & Weber, Dijon or honey mustard, thin-sliced red onion. Pickle on the side!!! Sat Jan 10 14:16:46 -0800 2009 4300543 159317 greygarious 2 4755174 MMmm yes - I almost overdosed on something similar last week. I am now not allowed to buy liverwurst for another 6 months. Lightly toasted rye, cream cheese, dijon mustard, thick slices of liverwurst or pate, gherkins sliced lengthwise, pickled beets, salt & pepper. Had one with thin cucumber instead of gherks, still pretty good. Mon Jun 08 20:49:09 -0700 2009 4314467 160411 morefuuud 1 4314791 Sliced pickled beets on buttered whole wheat toast with a healthy dash of freshly ground pepper. When I worked in a hotel kitchen many years ago those who worked in the garde manger area thought I was a little wired! Sat Jan 10 16:41:40 -0800 2009 4300543 193247 Pastryrocks 1 4316694 One of my favorite sandwiches at The Brothers deli here in the Twin Cities is the Pepe - pastrami, hot pepper cheese grilled on rye bread. Since I can't get to this deli, which is only open on weekdays, I make my own version of the Pepe. I had one today for breakfast and one for lunch. My ingredients are slightly different, but it's greasy and good. It's probably not your everyday sandwich. I use one slice of French Meadow European Sour Dough Rye. It's a dense rye similar to Dimpfelmeyer's rye in Canada. I also try to cut down on my carbs, hence only one slice. I have a pound of Carnegie Deli pastrami from Mort's deli, which is open on Saturday. It's a very mild tasting pastrami and not over salted. I have a nice raw hot pepper jack cheese. On very low gas heat, I cook the one slice on one side in a small amount of butter until brown and crunchy. I turn it over. I layer the pastrami on both the bread and directly on the pan. I put slices of the cheese on the pastrami in the middle. Then I just let it cook slowly until it's hot, the fat on the pastrami is transluscent and the cheese is melted. I fold the surrounding pastrami into the size of the bread. It's a little hard to eat with your hands, so a fork is mighty handy. I Sun Jan 11 14:28:51 -0800 2009 4300543 26818 shoo bee doo 1 4316807 I like cream cheese and pistachio nut sandwiches. I ate them as a kid but I've never heard of anyone else eating them. I tried one awhile back and it was just as good as a remembered. :) Sun Jan 11 15:25:19 -0800 2009 4300543 239731 scarletfan 2 4317249 Wow, that sounds like a good combination! We had the more standard cream cheese and preserves, and sometimes got walnuts in with it. (Or a close relative, the sour cream + preserves with walnuts sandwich). Come to think of it, I wonder if our family was the only one that ate sour cream-based sandwiches? Sun Jan 11 18:30:06 -0800 2009 4316807 49653 another_adam 1 4317244 When I was a kid we would get sandwiches with whatever salad or sides were left over from dinner the night before. Zucchini and tomatoes? Put it in a sandwich with some muenster cheese. Carrot & raisin salad with mayo? Pile it in a sandwich with some lettuce. Potato salad? In a sandwich with pickles and tomato. Lentil walnut loaf? Salmon patties? Sesame noodles? Bread-based dressing? Baked beans? Sandwich. In fact, probably the only things that didn't make it into sandwiches were burritos or lasagna. (and meatloaf-- we knew about meatloaf and ketchup sandwiches from my father's side of the family, but this particular combination was despised by my mother for some reason) I wouldn't necessarily recommend any of the combinations just mentioned, though I know that baked bean sandwiches are still popular in some parts, and Japanese noodle sandwiches can be good (yakisoba-pan; a distant cousin of the New England chow mein sandwich?). The carrot-raisin salad sandwiches were kind of infamous in our family, but actually, i could see myself trying one again. But the principle seems like a solid (and frugal) one-- sandwiches aren't planned, they just happen when you open the fridge :) I guess if your dinners are healthy and tasty, then you've got a good start to your sandwiches :) heheh **Confession: I actually dislike sandwiches, though leftovers do routinely find creative re-use in bento box form in our house. It never occurred to me until just now that maybe my early sandwich experience had something to do with this?! Sun Jan 11 18:28:09 -0800 2009 4300543 49653 another_adam 2 4335490 Ooooh leftover meatloaf sandwich-but with a thin smear of Hellman's- don't muck it up with lettuce or anything vegie-ish. I do love a good leftover eggplant parm sandwich- on a roll, with a thin smear of Hellman's. Due to my aversion to mayo- I sometimes gross out my husband by using just a little butter instead. He actually looks away. Anyway- I would involve avocado in a lot more sandwiches but when it's just me- I can't eat a whole one and they always go to waste. Sat Jan 17 18:40:17 -0800 2009 4317244 110426 Boccone Dolce 1 4318068 All time favorite from a little health food store/counter I worked many moons ago: Mushroom Burger with sauteed mushrooms in Braggs liq amino, toast a nice whole grain bun with one side shredded mont jack or cheddar - then on the other side- mayo, guacomole, shredded carrots, sprouts, garlic pwder, cayenne and spike seasoning (NO MEAT) - FANTASTIC!!! We also did just the Super Sandwich with the same as above without the sauteed mushrooms. Mon Jan 12 06:25:12 -0800 2009 4300543 49588 lexpatti 1 4318136 Love the classic Ruben and also a Kentucky Brown. Mon Jan 12 06:58:20 -0800 2009 4300543 103546 Analisas mom 2 4755015 Hot Browns are the best. Definitely a local favorite. When made correctly, it's an open face heart attach on a plate topped with bacon. When the Brown Hotel makes it, it's a petite disappointment on toast points. Try Ramsey's in Lexington, KY. There's numerous locations. Thankfully, I'm going home this weekend. Yeah.

They serve up pretty and are delicious. Mon Jan 12 12:46:25 -0800 2009 4300543 81820 starbucksbrew 2 4319424 I make a similar chicken salad. I add curry powder and lime juice to the mayo and add some chopped cilantro to the mix. Put it in a wrap or pita with spinach leaves. mmm, yeah I think that's what for lunch tomorrow..... Mon Jan 12 13:07:47 -0800 2009 4319338 158403 jcattles 1 4319355 My husband loves ciabatta or baguette with granny smith apple, brie, honey, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Mon Jan 12 12:50:55 -0800 2009 4300543 217807 cheesecake17 1 4319391 crispy, oven roasted brussel sprouts on a baguette with camembert. toasted until melty. lower-grade sashimi chopped with wasabi mayonnaise and served on a bun with shredded daikon. it's a bit lobster roll-ish. Mon Jan 12 13:00:03 -0800 2009 4300543 64215 cimui 1 4320621 On Sunday mornings when i'm frying meatballs for my gravy, I put one in two slices of american bread and sqeeze it together. Best breakfast there is Mon Jan 12 19:27:16 -0800 2009 4300543 250004 Nunzio 1 4335612 Sliced ripe avocado, swiss cheese, sprouts or small leaf lettuce and red onion with some honey-dijon dressing. Not a sweet one..... a mustardy one on the best bread you can find. Sat Jan 17 19:54:13 -0800 2009 4300543 59258 smtucker 1 4335924 This was my sandwich of choice some twenty years ago...before I became veggie. Thick white bread, crusts off. Generous amounts of cottage cheese (with chives for a treat). Here is where the fun starts...half a jar of cockles (Drained and squeezed). A goodly spoon of caviar, and a pinch of black pepper. Press down hard and cut into triangles. (Important, the triangle thing. Squares just won't do) Sun Jan 18 01:04:57 -0800 2009 4300543 187260 faeryharper 1 4336336 Two faves: Dark dark pumpernickel with a layer of cream cheese peppered with diced medjool dates on one side, a layer of lightly salted mashed/sliced avocado on the other side, uniform slices of cantaloupe sandwiched between. Slice and enjoy the rainbow of colors and flavors. I've also removed the crusts and served them as tea sandwiches. Either way, really good. Chicken Salad Sandwich: Shred some really moist boiled chicken, add a generous handful of pine nuts and a generous amount of orange marmalade (with as much peel as you can manage) then use equal amounts of Helmmann's mayo and sour cream to reach spreading consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve heaped on open faced English muffin sandwiches. And if you're feeling like giving yourself a little extra hug, butter the English muffin with real butter before assembling. Sun Jan 18 08:40:34 -0800 2009 4300543 112096 Caroline1 2 4338036 Caroline - do you toast the muffin? Mon Jan 19 01:03:00 -0800 2009 4336336 13619 Sharuf 3 4338121 Absolutely! '-) Sometimes I also add some thinly sliced celery sticks for a bit of added crunch. Enjoy! Mon Jan 19 04:41:45 -0800 2009 4338036 112096 Caroline1 4 4340936 I was worried there -- English muffins are not edible unless they're toasted. :-) Tue Jan 20 04:18:33 -0800 2009 4338121 13619 Sharuf 1 4336359 I enjoy a grilled sandwich of sliced turkey, roasted peppers, swiss cheese, and lightly spread basil mayonnaise on whole grain bread. A dill pickle on the side makes for a great lunch. Sun Jan 18 08:56:14 -0800 2009 4300543 48401 Dana1949 1 4429784 today i made the following sandwich for lunch: half an avocado, mashed up with balsamic/salt/pepper to a guac-like consistency, spread on two slices of challah-like bread; thick-peeled carrot slices (does that make sense? you use a V-shaped peeler to remove the skin, then continue peeling, trying for peels the whole length of the carrot...); fine slices of leftover brussels sprouts; a couple slices of muenster (the only cheese i had around). some salt ground on the sprouts. it was very good. Wed Feb 18 14:47:54 -0800 2009 4300543 13595 goreystory 1 4429954 Calamari sandwich on sour dough. I pan fry the calamari with any breading in clarified butter. When I put it in the pan I hit it with some cajun spice. Be very careful not to overcook. I serve it on the bread with or without homemade tarter sauce.

Smear both slices with a homemade thousand isalnd dressing (vegan mayo, pickle relish, tomato paste, cayenne & lemon juice), 4 slices of veggie "bacon" pan fried, heated sauerkraut, rice "cheese" (swiss flavor).

It's an acquired taste, kind of like left over pizza or spaghetti for breakfast. Tue Jun 16 14:12:01 -0700 2009 4300543 126101 Antilope 2 4779931 Wow. Definitely original. =D Have you tried it recently? Tue Jun 16 20:25:44 -0700 2009 4778882 64215 cimui 3 4780157 They say you can't go home again. I'm going to leave this one as a fond memory. ;-) Tue Jun 16 22:47:46 -0700 2009 4779931 126101 Antilope 1 4778947 Tomato slices and kosher dill pickle slices with lettuce on sunflower seed bread...toasted or no. Tue Jun 16 14:28:41 -0700 2009 4300543 11408 melly 1 4779917 made this sandwich and I was in heaven: white bread, avacado mayonaise, roasted asparagus, brie and some arugala. Panini heaven! Tue Jun 16 20:20:51 -0700 2009 4300543 195113 jenwee 1 4779981 Sounds gross, but, here goes. White bread, like Wonderbread, with mayo and thin sliced Chinese BBQ pork (char siu). We must have run out of ham that day for making brown bag lunches. I still make it sometimes and my hubby just gags when he sees me eat it. Tue Jun 16 20:57:28 -0700 2009 4300543 133550 cyndychow 2 4784615 Are you kidding? That's a great sandwich! Just made char sui and hubby made a sandwich, (buttermilk bread) and loves it! I'm trying to save it for other uses, guess I'll have to hide it from him! We put hoisin on the bread with scallions. then warm it briefly in the microwave. Sort of a crazy bbq pork bun. Thu Jun 18 10:19:04 -0700 2009 4779981 50431 chef chicklet 3 4815347 I tell my home-grown Canadian hubby that char siu is not supposed to go on white bread, mayo, mustard and cheese. It's just simply wrong. But he insists on eating it this way - and i have to say, it's actually not bad. Just not what i'm used to growing up eating I guess.

Tue Jun 16 21:28:46 -0700 2009 4300543 18385 CDouglas 1 4784579 For breakfast this very morning: Open faced sandwiches made with a fine textured Bakery white bread toasted in butter, then topped with Gorgonzola and Usinger's braunschweiger with a side of fresh "brown sugar strawberries." Building happy new fat cells! But hey, you've gotta give your mouth a party once in a while! '-) Thu Jun 18 10:10:42 -0700 2009 4300543 112096 Caroline1 1 4815424 One of my go-to sandwiches is olive loaf (luncheon meat) on rye bread spread liberally with cream cheese. Pass the tomatoes. Smoked mackerel, sweet raw onion and sour creme on pumpernickel is cool. Mon Jun 29 11:49:20 -0700 2009 4300543 270888 shaogo 1 4815484 My twelve year old just made a pizza-wich. Between two slices of leftover pizza place some fresh basil leaves and leftover cheese ravioli and press on the panini plate until warm and gooey. Mon Jun 29 12:04:56 -0700 2009 4300543 36312 HillJ 1 4815602 I invented this "sandwich" one night when we got home late at night after a long drive. Both of us were really hungry but too tired to make anything complicated. I had some good corn tortillas (Mi Abuelita brand - dunno if they're available elsewhere), some Hebrew Nat'l. hot dogs, some good cheddar cheese, a couple of barely passable tomatoes and some wilted green onions. I heated the tortillas until they were malleable and then put a hot dog and some cheese in the middle and folded them over. After everything was heated through, I put the chopped green onion, the chopped tomato and some green chili salsa. Amazingly good. We've had this dish many times since. I usually use Mrs. Renfrew's green chili salsa which I like a lot. Weird brand name for a Mexican salsa, eh?

Toaster ovened at 250ish for enough time to make it warm throughout. Sat Nov 07 18:53:27 -0800 2009 4300543 1092732 Alan N 1 5164270 Two slices of white bread. Filling is fresh mashed ripe avocado mixed with a little Best Foods mayonnaise and sprinkled with salt. Sat Nov 07 19:15:52 -0800 2009 4300543 126101 Antilope 2 5164313 That sounds good sans the mayo. Do you prefer the large smooth avocado or the rough? The smooth is buttery and can be sliced, put into French bread with salt for a basic meal. Sat Nov 07 19:40:55 -0800 2009 5164270 1092732 Alan N 3 5164339 I prefer the larger smooth avocados, but the markets usually carry the smaller rough avocados. Either one is good. Sat Nov 07 19:57:51 -0800 2009 5164313 126101 Antilope 1 5165038 My new favorite sandwich as of late has been a whole wheat pita stuffed w/ three different kinds of salads: taboulleh, artichoke orzo, and pesto pea. Sometimes I top it all off with a little tzatziki. Yum! Sun Nov 08 09:38:57 -0800 2009 4300543 56183 soypower 1 5165041 Canned mackerel with mustard on rye bread. Toasted. On a bagel is good too, toasted or pressed. Sun Nov 08 09:40:53 -0800 2009 4300543 224081 BamiaWruz
