Sandwich time

Category: Come and Get It


Lucie's new food thing is sandwiches. Maybe it's because I make Nathan peanut butter sandwiches every day for lunch. Or it could be because Paul makes grilled ham and cheese or tuna fish sandwiches for himself and the kids as a special "daddy treat."

The problem I have with this is that she wants to make the sandwiches herself. Her combinations are interesting, like the bologna and ketchup sandwich. Usually they're quite normal -- honey and butter, cream cheese or raspberry preserves.

So what's the problem? Besides getting raspberry preserves all over the couch, she doesn't eat the sandwiches she makes. Well, maybe she'll eat half on a good day. Then she'll throw the rest away.

O.K. typical kid stuff, you say. Well, yes, but she's using up all the good bread. The yummy, high fiber, $3+ a loaf bread. My low Weight Watchers points bread!

Well, at least she's got good taste.
