THE SANDWICH

                      The sandwich is a big part of growing up .When we are little people the epitome of fine cuisine was the peanut butter and jelly sandwich . As we grew up our tastes in sandwiches changed . We experimented with different combinations , as we got older .
              In comes the cold cuts ,tomatoes , onions , lettuce and various toppings . Growing up I tried many different combinations . The biggest sandwich day was far Saturday . The reasons being , no school , cartoons on TV ,and college football . The biggest inspiration for sandwich experimentation was by far my dad and the cartoon strip Dagwood with his towering sandwiches he routinely made . That's when I started looking for my perfect creation . Oh the messes we use to make in the kitchen , yes Mom would get angry over them .
              There were the sandwiches made with the left overs . Any left overs in the fridge was far game . My Dads baked bean sandwich turned out to be a favorite .Another concoction was the peanut butter ,  marshmallow cream  and banana sandwich . Which led to disagreements on how to best slice the banana .The best sandwiches were by far though were made with various cold cuts and the stuff grown in our garden  , also far was the best was the relishes and pickles mom made in our kitchen . Then there was dads home made horseradish ,that was grown in the garden .
               The sandwich is an important part of Saturdays , along with cartoons and college football . Topped of with your favorite drink be it a tall ice cold glass of milk or fresh apple cider when in season . The perfect sandwich is just a matter of personal choices . The sandwiches are as different as the people whom are eating them . So go ahead and dare to be different , its your sandwich .
