An Ode to the Sandwich Press

Sandwiches are all over the blogosphere this week, thanks to one woman's quest for an engagement ring. Now, the debate as to whether she's a marraige-obssessed harpy kowtowing to regressive gender politics or a business savvy woman who's blatant ploy to grab a book deal is transparently obvious is outside the purview of this blog. However, sandwiches themselves are totally on topic!



I normally eat sandwiches for lunch every day, and have since elementary school. They're easy to make, and have endless variations. Sometimes I get fancy and eat cheese and fruit for lunch, but I love a good sandwich. And since I've been working from home, I get to use my sandwich press! I didn't use it that much in Boston, since my kitchen was tiny, but now I have tons of counter space and the press sits prominently on the counter, rather than on the bottom shelf of my kitchen rack. I feel like the simple act of pressing the sandwich really elevates it. The sandwich press can also be used as an impromptu grill. I've made hamburgers on it, and last week grilled some corn up. It's so versatile!
