My new favorite sandwich....

It started Monday morning in the dentist office....

"Excuse me did you just say I can stay here in the waiting room?

My kids can manage the whole dental process without me?"

I have two hours alone with HGTV & my favorite cookbook? Are you kidding me?

I thought I hated going to the dentist.

And then to top it of M had a micro cavity that they could go ahead & repair...bonus half hour right there.

You might ask if I've watched Julie & Julia.

No. But after telling a seat mate on a lengthy flight about my life I was given an extensive overview

of the film.

 I am contemplating cooking every Cook's Illustrated recipe I can get my fingers on. Starting with every one I read Monday morning.

But for now the goal is to try 3 new recipes each week.

This is the first.

This photo shows my sandwich "station" thanks J :)

My hubby really appreciates organization & I have to say it is appealing visually & it did make

sandwich prep smmmmooooth.

Buttered French bread layered with Apricot Chutney, Sharp Cheddar, Bacon & Granny Smith.

Paused on the assembly line for a photo.

Toasted to a golden brown. I'm salivating all over again.

And sprinkled with fresh Thyme from my garden....ah.

Delicious. Cheers!
