Sandwiches

I concur with Liz Lemon’s sandwich theory. Sandwiches = universal happiness. I also admit that the yuppie cookware/kitchen utensil phenomenon has gotten out of hand. Case in point:
Herb Chopper : PUT DOWN that Williams-Sonoma catalog and use a chef’s knife
Electric Egg Cooker: PUT DOWN that Williams-Sonoma catalog and boil some water
Nonstick Burger Press: PUT DOWN that Williams-Sonoma catalog and shape the patties with your hands
That said, I swear by my Breville Ikon Panini Press. It may only serve one purpose, but the result is mighty tasty. Assembling a sandwich, hot or cold, doesn’t require a recipe. But when you eat sandwiches several times a week, it’s easy to run out of ideas. Here are some simple combinations that are sure to kick any sandwich-making slump:
Pepper turkey + spicy tomato chutney + goat cheese + arugula
Pepper turkey + American Spoon Cranberry Mustard + sharp white cheddar + arugula
Smoked turkey + Stonewall Kitchen Old Farmhouse Chutney + brie + arugula
Rotisserie chicken + brie + roasted bell pepper + sautéed Spanish onion + arugula (inspired by Flour Bakery)
Spicy Italian chicken, turkey, or pork sausage + sautéed bell pepper + sweet and hot pickled peppers + provolone
Prosciutto + fig spread + fresh mozzarella OR goat cheese + baby spinach
Black forest ham + Stonewall Kitchen Old Farmhouse Chutney + sharp white cheddar + arugula
Chorizo + quince paste + manchego (best served hot)
Soft-shell crab + pesto + provolone + sprouts
Smoked whitefish + mustard + provolone + sprouts
Grouper + mustard + swiss + sauerkraut on rye (= a grouper reuben, best served hot)
Italian tuna + fontina + radicchio + red onion + Tabasco (best served hot)
Italian tuna + red pepper spread + taleggio + arugula
