Delicatessen

I figure its time for something lighthearted, that doesn't require a lot of thought. Sandwiches!

You know, when I was in college, I had the "opportunity" to work at a local deli. When it gets close to lunch time, and your starving, you get all sorts of ideas for things to try on a Hoagie. Usually, these ideas later seem grotesque after the hunger sibsides, but every now and again, you hit a bullseye. Some of those bullseyes:

Haminara - a plump Kaiser Roll, toasted lightly, with spread Marinara on both sides. Seperately, you heat honey-baked ham and Mozzerella cheese. Heating seperately allows you to maintain the crispiness of the Roll. Once you have both hot, put the ham and Mozz on the bottom half of the Kaiser Roll (cheese on top of ham). Add Lettuce and Tomato (cold). Goes good w/ a Sobe.

Ham N' Apple - OK, this one is stolen from a former co-worker, but its real good. You need to get a Honeycrisp apple, and quarter it into wedges. Next, you slice one of the wedges, horizontally, into superthin slices (think like lunchmeat or cheese). You need boiled ham and Muenster cheese. Add HoneyMustard, Lettuce, Tomato, and your sliced apple quarter (you could eat the other 75% of the apple, or throw it away.. whatever).

Turk-Marachino - Find yourself a jar of sweet Marachino Cherries. Dice them up into small pieces. Next, find some fresh, non-processd, Rotisserie Turkey, and Prosciutto, both sliced thin. This goes best with a Provolone or Muenster, your choice (or if your feeling scandelous, try BOTH!) You won't need to add any condiment to the roll, since the cherries are juicy. Add Lettuce (no tomato). You can also subsitute Bacon for the Prosciutto.

Give 'em a shot...
