Ho. Ly. Cow. Those look like some amazing sandwiches. I’m drooling over the soft shell crab in particular.

First time reader…enjoying your blog!

Homemade bread is the best…the aroma can’t be beat!! Favorite summer sandwich? Three little letters: B L T !!

Those are funny questions, both hard to answer because there are so many choices!

I am pretty partial to a good lobster roll, which is easy to find between June and September since I spend my summers in Maine. But sandwiches are always so great – I love avocado, cheese, roast beef, tomatoes, and lettuce on a hard roll with balsamic vinegar, too. And, and, and…!

My dogs eat just about anything, and steal just about anything. The island in my parents’ kitchen at home is about two and a half times the height of the dogs – WAY taller than they are – and I’ve seen Kat jump up onto it in one fell swoop, grin, and jump back down sheepishly, as though she’d blown her cover. So that explains the missing blueberry muffins, bagels, leftovers… ha.

I agree with the bread making ritual. It’s so nice to know that you’ve created something as sustaining as a loaf of bread. That must be what keeps the bakers going and getting up at 3am lol

My favourite sandwich ever is probably lobster salad with good mayo or even prawn and mayo. Also something a little odd but chicken stuffing (you know from a BBQ chicken), mayo, avocado, lettuce on a lightly toasted fat baguette-with white pepper and salt, mmmmm.

That soft shell crab sandwich is to die for! That might sound snobbish but I don’t eat mayo unless it’s homemade…if I am going to eat fat, I want good tasting fats
I made bread with a group of friends Saturday without the KA and I just love that feeling of kneading and getting my hands in the dough. The bread looks wonderful Kim!

I used to have a dog while growing up but I can only remember he really loved eating vegetables and soup…not an ordinary dog, wouldn’t you agree? )
Sorry about the floury mess! I could really enjoy this rich sandwich on weekend mornings. And yes, there’s nothing like homemade whether it’s bread or mayo!

Kim, I’m scared of you! I remember my attention to perfection, similar to yours, when I was dj’ing.

I just saw Alton making homemade mayo and that is on the list for this weekend. You have given me sooooo many great ideas! I’m still not walking so great so I send my sous chef Becky to the Publix for my ingredients. She gets excited when I compile the list knowing that I am about to make something good to eat.

Oh, and if it were me, Scout and I would be having a long talk. Maybe Ceasar Millan should pay you a visit?

That bread looks amazing. Homemade mayonnaise? Never even heard of making it homemade. I am confident that raising me has given you the patience for such arduous kitchen endeavors.

What a wonderful array of sandwiches and that looks one perfect loaf to me. Bread baking is so therapeutic and rewarding isn’t it.

I don’t know how in the world I missed the dog disaster portion of this post last time. Oh my!!
We had a dog eat the thanksgiving turkey right off the counter one year when no one was looking. Another dog ate a birthday cake I worked hours on decorating! Ugh! Those creatures… gotta love ‘em, but drive you nuts.
