Oh yes the Yankees, adore them or hate them, that team is good. I do miss Joe Torre however. Thank goodness for Derek Jeter. Not a huge Arod supporter however

Mayonnaise is something I have yet to do for a variety of reasons. One, I used to loathe the stuff as a child but I may just drop everything and go with it since my taste buds have drastically changed. I might just like the stuff now. The other reason is that the labels frighten me. Anything with more than ten ingredients, I don’t really buy. I recently looked at a jar of mayonnaise and saw “soy” in it – why? What do you need the soy for when mayonnaise is a simple emulsification of eggs and oil, bleh. So if I were to try mayonnaise again; I’d definitely consume my own as opposed to buying that store bought stuff. As if miracle whip is any better, right? It tastes like a sour cool whip to me – gross.

I also wish I could get my hands on some soft shell crab..mm..

Excellent recipe. One small change I’d make however is that I would use fig confit with cinnamon rather than the fig and ginger.
I find the fig confit from holyfoodimports.com to be one of the best money can buy.

[...] mayonnaise was used and you can find my recipe for it here. I served it on a bed of field greens with a few wedges of tomatoes from the Farmer’s [...]

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

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!
