Sandwiches

 I recently read somewhere that tuna topped with potato chips has become a popular sandwich. Don has apparently been making such sandwiches for years.



I've never tried one. Chips on the side are fine with me.

Another sandwich Don makes that I'd never had but have come enjoy is tuna, egg and onion. I prefer my sandwiches to be open-face or else using Arnold's sandwich thins. This combination works well for open-faced. And canned tuna, eggs and onions are pantry staples.

We both love BLTs although we don't have them often. A BLT and an ear of fresh corn, buttered and salted, always seems like the quintessential summer supper to me -- something to be savored like the annual Christmas feast.

A grilled cheese and tomato soup says fall. I guess I need to work on a winter and a spring sandwich!

Today my lunch was yogurt and blueberries and right now I need to get busy making my oatmeal muffins that are my most usual breakfast with a cup of coffee.

I must be hungry right now!

    I must have chips with a tuna sandwich, but on the side, please. I am not a tomato soup fan, so I go for split pea with my grilled cheese. I agree, BLTs are fresh tomato season food.

    You're making me hungry with your post even though I just finished my breakfast bagel with peanut butter.
    I've never tried potato chips on a sandwich, though have heard of it. Tuna, egg and onion seem an odd combination - but I like both tuna sandwiches and egg salad sandwiches so it might be worth a try. Something I enjoy as a treat that I've learned seems odd to most people, is salmon salad on toast. But the weirdest combination I know of, is brown sugar and onion which my mom made for herself on occasion. I'm thinking it was something her family ate when there was little else in the house to eat during the depression but I never thought to ask her.

    We love BELT's... which are basically a BLT with a fried egg in the middle. One of our breakfast places makes these and they are so-oo good. And as for chips on a sandwich... I like chips on peanut butter and jelly too - the salt and sweet!

    This was certainly a tasty read! I can't say I'd enjoy chips in my sandwich, but I've long been a fan of tuna, chopped egg & onion on toast (with a little mayo). Also, thank you for the inspiration--I was at the market this morning, they had bacon on sale so I bought a pack (to separate the strips and freeze for breakfasts). But I believe I'll be having a BLT for my dinner tonight too. :^)

    Those sandwiches sound delicious. Sandwiches are like poetry, aren't they? Beautiful.

    I do remember eating tuna and potato chip sandwiches but I also like chip on the side. Hubby does not like sandwches except BLTs .

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
